RE: For those with cellphones

Oh, don't get me started.  I think cell phones have done more damage to
the concept of common courtesy than any other invention in the last
century.  That said, I do have one - but only for outgoing calls during
real emergencies in case I get in trouble. It is always turned off.  I
could no more tell you my cell number than I could tell you George
Washington's birth date.

I'm with you, Donna. Never made sense to me to get a brain tumor just 
so someone could call you while you were wending your way through 
rush-hour traffic.
