Little tiny stick people that look like sattelite photos. Just give me a good phone. And yes we are too connected. I think it's an ego thing. "Look at ME.

And yes, it still drops calls, echos, and beeps at me for unknown reasons.<br><br>As a mom, I'm a big fan of the cell phone for staying in touch with my children.

No one is entitled to stop me in my tracks to be at their beck and call.

At the same time, I do think people are obnoxious with them. But don't get me started on the things that more and more, I think we'd be better off without...including (and perhaps especially) cable tv...<br><br>JudiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
