So...I have a working cel phone again...the Baby-Phone. I expect to recieve 1 phone call between now and early 2006... the "Get your ass in gear and come get me NOW!!!" call.

Shortly thereafter, the phone gets mothballed. I don't like being at the beck and call of everyone and their cousin when they absolutely MUST talk with me...about their hang-nail or some other stupidity.

So...who's got a cel-phone? Are you addicted to it? Is it a love-hate relationship?

Your kid's got a cel phone? Do you DL ringtones? Got a camera on yours?

Inquiring minds wanna know :)
 
I have one my employer issued and mandates I carry M-F from 8 til 4:30.

Other than that, I would sooner take a rattlesnake into my possession than a cell phone. My hatred of the very notion of cell phones is legendary and well earned. A pox on whatever noodlenoggin conceived these hellish implements of evil.

I have one. I carry it when I'm on the road on a long trip...just in case I have car trouble. Other than that, it stays in a drawer. I haven't used it since my ill-fated Georgia trip.
 
I have a cell phone. I can live without it, but I work at different locations all the time so if the family needs me that is the best way.

The kid wants a cell phone, we would never be able to afford the bill as she would go over her minutes every time. When she gets a job and can pay her own bill she can have one but not until.
 
I have one. Handy for emergencies and when the spouse needs to crack the whip, and that's about all. I do use it for LD calls since we killed long distance on the landline, but I don't place too many of those.

Get her a prepaid phone with $20 worth of minutes. Tell her any minutes after that are out of her own pocket. One nice thing about prepaid in her situation is that once she's out of minutes, she's out of minutes. No large bills. Good way to teach moderation and responsibility, if you ask me.

I've got a Verizon bill-every-month phone I pay for myself. It came in really handy when I was in Atlanta, since I used it to set up the interview for the job I'm at now. I wouldn't call myself an addict, though; my plan includes 450 peak minutes and I've gone over 300 once in the year I've had it.

What's the use, when she can use the house phone as much and whenever she wants? When she's not at home, she's at school, and hence does not need a phone, or with us, and hence does not need a phone. I ain't paying for a fashion accessory/status symbol.
 
I have one, but its used for business 95% of the time. Right next to it is a pager, again used for business.

I usually set my phone down on the nightstand when I get home, and pick it up when I'm ready to leave.

I'm going with a prepaid Virgin at the first of the year....A phone that is. :D
I've been checking them out for a year now. Now I gonna take the plung. :swing:
 
Yeah, I seem to remember telling you to find a nice, tight Virgin (phone, that is) for a long time now. :D
 
No, no, the aim is fine. I just don't know about that Viagra stuff. :lol2:
The old stamina ain't what it used to be. :crying4:
 
If you need a little more room in there, hit up the chick I lost my virginity to. Ignore the happy trail (hey, when a naked chick says, "I'm yours, do what you want with me" to a virgin, little details like that tend to get ignored).
 
I used to be called "Bonehead", now they are probably calling me "Limp Bizkit" :brush:
The old tongue still works though. :evilcool:
 
Limp Bizkit, huh? Did it all for the nookie? The nookie? So you can take that cookie and stick it up your yeah?
 
So...who's got a cel-phone? Are you addicted to it? Is it a love-hate relationship?
