And without fail, someone's goes off! <BR/><BR/>My kids have all the "bells & whistles" on their cell phones, cameras, texting, alarm clocks...even a tip calculator! Me, I have the basic. My kids say I'm old fashioned.<BR/><BR/>And boy, they love to text message! They do it at lightening speed! What happened to the days when you just picked up the house phone and talked? The last time my son was talking on the house phone, I saw him IM'ing his friends on the computer, while texting others on his cell AND watching Family Guy! Multi-tasking for sure!Vivian Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487967376472666756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36929431.post-1675855627202190042007-05-24T09:41:00.000-04:002007-05-24T09:41:00.000-04:00Amanda Mae knows what I am talking about.

In my mind anyway.<BR/><BR/>Patience: I do hate my phone. I hate it because I can't live without it. Argh.<BR/><BR/>Craig: lol. That's just funny. <BR/><BR/>Laura: the name is great. Ruby...love it! Mine doesn't have a name. It's taken me nearly 5 years to name my car. I won't even start thinking about naming my phone. :o)<BR/><BR/>Em: I liked that picture too. I found a picture of an actual car phone "briefcase" but the other was just too clever. :o)Charlotta-lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694362692847403727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36929431.post-64787575500586306752007-05-23T14:56:00.000-04:002007-05-23T14:56:00.000-04:00I love the pic of the phone on the dashboard!My ri...I love the pic of the phone on the dashboard!<BR/><BR/>My ring tone?

Most of the time I stick to a regular ring tone, because, hey it's a phone, not a radio. And I also have never wanted a camera phone, because, well, it's a phone not a camera. I like my phone to be a phone.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if I didn't already have a camera I would want a camera phone.<BR/><BR/>But I love my phone. She's red. I call her ruby. She's my home.

He had to be "on call" for his exciting records management job!<BR/><BR/>I met him after work one day and we went back to his apartment. He disappeared to the bathroom for a while. Then I heard him cry out in agony, "OH NO!"<BR/><BR/>Yep, he had dropped his pager into the toilet while he was flushing it...Craig Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411024383213082193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36929431.post-65876533798061357642007-05-23T09:55:00.000-04:002007-05-23T09:55:00.000-04:00My first cell phone I bought the day after I got s...My first cell phone I bought the day after I got stranded on the freeway during rush hour when my car died. I had 28 minutes and paid about $25/month. Now I have 8 million minutes, two shared phones, texting, camera, etc., etc. I don't know how much it costs because it's all connected to my home phone, cable tv, bill.<BR/><BR/>My husband and I call each in W*mart. "Where are you?" "I'm in sporting goods." I call him on the way home from work. "Where are you?" Before cells, when you called someone you always knew where they were! You called them there!! Now, who knows.<BR/><BR/>I love my cell phone! But I also hate them.Patiencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032185243684487586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36929431.post-61682088948188588732007-05-23T09:22:00.000-04:002007-05-23T09:22:00.000-04:00I didn't realize that beepers meant status in the ...I didn't realize that beepers meant status in the early 90s. I thought it meant that you were a drug dealer ;)<BR/><BR/>I have four different ring-tones on my phone.<BR/><BR/>For my father - the theme from the Godfather<BR/>For everyone else in my family - Sweet Caroline (They sing this song in the middle of the 8th inning at Fenway)<BR/>For my friends - It's My Life (You know that with me there has to be a little Bon Jovi)<BR/>For everyone else - Just a regular ring.<BR/><BR/>I heart you CharlotteUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184402406731288451noreply@blogger.com
