From today's SF Comical: Nobody Calls That Number Anymore: More people depend solely on cell phones.:

According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 22.3 percent of U.S. households with both landline and cell phones receive almost all of their phone calls on their mobile phone. That's 13.1 percent of all households in the United States.

 

Combined with wireless-only households, 28.9 percent, or nearly 3 out of every 10 households, are reliant or almost completely dependent on cell phones.

 

How do you explain school to a higher intelligence? :)

I still have a land line, it's cheaper than a cell but I do have a cell but I only use it for emergencies and to call my son at college. (he has a cell and it's free for us to talk)

I still have the 1 land line the wife and I both have cells.

Both of the cell phones have two way (direct connect) but the wife would rather talk on the land line then the cell or two way. :)

 

Edit: I use land line for DSL also.

Yes, I still have a land line at my house. My work provides my mobile phone, so I don't really feel I have a choice. I don't want to carry around two mobile phones. Plus, it still seems to me like I should have a household phone number. It's probably just an old school mentality.

Technically I do still have a land-line.

I have it for our monitoring service and fax only.

I never answer the phone, and no one I know (including me) knows the phone number.

I have to say, I love not needing to deal with telemarketers;)

I do. Thank god for purses...

 

No fashion has ever been created expressly for the lean purse or for the fat woman: the dressmaker's ideal is the thin millionaires, :turtle:

Yeah? Well I don't want to carry one of those around either.

 

(Well, unless it's a Coach of course, and is neutral enough to match all my shoes :turtle:)

I've got these people calling me every day on my cell saying,

"This is your third and final notice that the warranty is about to expire on you vehicle"

I wish I could make them go away, :turtle:

I called that number six months ago,

then I talked to our IT department they told me that was for land lines and there were no regulations for cell phones,

and sense they are still calling :turtle:

I'm sure you could though! Even Joey survived "The One with the Man Bag":

Oooh! I'm going to the Coach outlet over Memorial Day! I'll look for one for you! Do you prefer the all-leather or the C-logo-motif cloth? :hihi:

 

Maybe you need sex. I had sex a couple days ago, :)

Monogram patterns have already been worn out by numerous designers and are soooo yesterday. Leather is timeless. :hihi:
