I had a talk with Jaci and that's why I'm not happy. I've tried and tried and they just don't get how much it bothers me.

Gayle, I can totally understand why you need a phone to keep in contact with Gary. With his health the way it is you have to be available to him when he calls.

I wish that someone would come up with some cell phone etiquette rules!!!! And then SMACK Glen and Jaci up side the head with them!!!! LOL

(Jaci has sent/received 10,000 to 12,000 messages in a month!! That comes to a message sent or received every 2-3 minutes 24 hours a day!!)

Remember those big Bag Phones we had when they first came out? I remember carrying one of those huge heavy things around in a shopping bag because I didn't want anybody to think I HAD to have a phone with me But the truth was that I needed to be in touch with Mike at all times because of his health.

I wonder what our kids/grandkids would think of those monstrosities?? And they didn't even TEXT, lol

My blackberry is on the blink, so I'm missing it alot right now. I feel your pain, and I practice good cell phone etiquette, even when driving, but I do miss my connection right now.

I always miss it too, even if I've just forgotten it at home. How did we get so dependant on them? I get very upset when I'm in line at a checkout and someone is on their phone. So darn rude to the cashier in myy opinion. I won't talk on the phone in town ...to much to keep an eye out for...people, animals, cars, stoplights/signs, children. But I will talk on the highway or county roads. Much less to distract from.. Our town isn't very big...I don't know how people pay attention in the bigger cities.

Diana, I feel your pain. Both my girls and son-in-law are constantly texting. One of our daughters has a phone that allows her to talk to me on the cell phone while she is texting someone else, so I hear this tap tap while we are talking. It makes you feel really unimportant that she can text while we are talking. Our son-in-law gets texts from his parents all the time while he is here visiting with us. Makes you feel like he'd rather be spending the time with them.

Hubby and I will be talking about something important, and he has to cut me off because of another incoming call. It's very frustrating, but I don't know what I'd do without my cell!! It's how I stay connected with those who I love.

It is frustrating.

"Unimportant" is exactly how I feel. You certainly have the same complaints that I have, Marilyn.
