Re: For those with cellphones

I despise cell phones. The car in front of me was travelling less than speed limit in the passing lane, weaving onto the left shoulder and back , then into the right lane. Driver had a cigarette in one hand, phone in the other.

That said, I had to buy a prepaid phone today. On my new job we can only use the phone on our break and then it must be forless than 3 minutes. During apr and May I have to call wholesalers re our nursery plant orders and other compnies re plant orders. Payphones aren't plentiful and are in noisy areas. So I bought a phone that's good for 60 days. I'll only use it for outgoing, no incoming calls. And never when I'm driving.

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.

My cell phone had free incoming calls, so other than
annoying, didn't matter...

but the best news is I no longer have a cell phone
after 10 years or so it seemed of having one on my hip
24/7.

It is the greatest freedom once you get used to it not
being there!

who has to get another one, but is dragging her feet
about deciding cause she really doesn't want it :)

Most if not all of you have a cell phone and if you
are like me you do
not want telemarketing calls. The information below
is for your use as
you see fit. The Federal Trade Commission is
sponsoring this. Good luck.



JUST A REMINDER....18 days from today, all cell
phone numbers are being
released to telemarketing companies and you will
start to receive sale
calls. ...YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS.... To
prevent this, call
the following number from your cell phone:
888-382-1222. It is the
National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a
minute of your time.


It blocks your number for five (5) years.
