Actually Katie, I believe I can clear this up once and for all. Now remember this is serious but once you hit the 1000th post a big magical cowboy hat appears on top of your computer screen! ;D

I hope I get the cowboy that comes with the hat, as well......

I note how these now ubiquitous phones isolate and distract their users from their immediate environment, and I think that's a real shame. I can't deny their usefulness in possible emergencies myself, but don't find that sufficient motivation to become the owner of one.

I don't use or own a cell phone either. No need for one. I can see how it might come in handy when I have a flat tire or something, but that happens so rarely, it isn't worth the price of having one. I have a home phone and a work phone. If I'm there, I'm there. If I'm not...that's what answering machines and voice mail are for. My presence somewhere will never be something that is such a dire emergency that the world will stop if there's a delay.

No, you go over to the 1000+ posts thread (on Chez Tremblay) and we shower you with praise.
In the old days, we gave out statues and awards, now all we can afford is praise. Too many 1000-posters hanging around this joint, I guess.
Me...I've got 3000 in my sights and I am bearing down...

In my mind, this is the way I would like to be, but with children, having a cell phone makes a huge difference. Coordinating with them, with my husband, who's here, who's there, who's picking up who...and once you get used to the phone, it is hard to give it up. Which is the same way I feel about the garbage disposal in the sink!
