ah yes, these were the good old days. Back when the Moto was king. :roll:Remember pagers and then having to find a pay phone? How about the audible pagers that no one could understand?
Hang up and eat!

Why have all of you got your knickers in a twist? You're clearly in the wrong about this:
* I've noticed that when I eat with friends, I talk more and eat less. If my friends can't be with me, there is no reason to blow my diet just because I'm technically alone.
* What's the difference between you talking to your wife who just happens to be sitting at the table with you and me talking to my friend who is not at the table? If you think about it, you and yours are making more noise than me.
* As for the "holding up the waiter" theory: When I'm with a friend I take at least twice as long to order because we're gabbing away at each other and trying to look like we're going to pick something healthy. Even if I'm on the phone, I order faster when I'm alone. I don't want the waiter standing there eavesdropping on my conversation.
* I'm stabilizing the economy by taking calls from telemarketers while I'm away from home. It's good for America.

I won't be dining with you on your next trip.
I'll call you from the restaurant again.
When you talk on the phone while eating w/ others you are being rude by ignoring them and excluding them from the conversation.
The problem w/ cell phone use is not that people are talking, it is that their phone is ringing/making noise, they are talking louder than normal, and they are ignoring humans in favor of their phone.
Whatever the circumstances, there is no reason to have a cell phone 24/7. We managed just fine without them - it's only now that we have them/are used to them that we think we need them.
(you realize I was being sarcastic, right?)
As soon as I got one, my mother insisted that I needed it.
I don't have cell service in my office, and I LOVE it. For 8 hours a day, I don't belong to anyone. Very cool.
I go crazy without my cell phone. Just ask Tootsie and others how flipped out when I was at a soiree when I realized that I had left it in the car. The only time I don't have it right next to me is when I'm in the shower. Seriously. Even in church I keep it on silent and check for the display to light up. I don't bother people with the light in movies because movie theatres give me claustrophobia and then anxiety attacks.
Sometimes I pretend to be on my cell phone to avoid certain people at the grocery store.
What I love 2nd best about my BMW is the fact that the phone is integrated into the stereo system, so when I get a call, it comes into the stereo system and I talk into a built-in microphone. 1st best is how fast and smoothly I can get to 100 mph when I feel the need for speed. 3rd best is being able to list to college sports and CNN on Sirius.
Even my poodle knows that when she hears "Drop It Like It's Hot," she can hear my daughter, and when she hears "Crazy In Love," she can hear Daddy a.k.a. Big D.

...I can never find mine and when I do, it is out of juice. People know to call me on my home phone of they really need me (unless I am in FL, then I have to use it)Remember that I still don't use the ATM unless I am at a casino or the Red Bar. I am an old kitty and don't do well with machines with tricks.
:funn:...like y'all didn't know that!
