I bet he'll help you with the whole import dealio. Or maybe he can search slickdeals and find you a nice carrier pigeon. :) They’re just a necessary evil…. and look,, your AMAzING man is a techno god who got you an oh-what-a-deal deal and a pretty phone.

I recently heard one ring at a memorial service, then another at a small play, with an audience of about 20 people. All I can do is give these cell phone retards my best Bea Arthur style scowl. C'mon folks, leave the phone at home, you're just not that important. I hate cell phones, and their user’s lack of etiquette.

Ernestine is my nemesis, and you do know that Alex G. Bell agreed with us and wouldn't have the damn thing in his laboratory - his wife had to walk down the hill from the house to get him when there was an important call... When I was a kid, the phone wiring in Kingston was some of the oldest in the nation - within town we had only to dial FOUR digits, not even five.... Then again, I love the story an old friend of my mother's tells about being a little girl in an even smaller town a bit inland. When she was three or so, she could pick up the party-line phone - this must've been ca. 1940 - and say to the operator "Do you know where my Mommy is?" - and not only did the operator know exactly who she was, but she DID know where her Mommy was.... Maybe really, really high-tech will bring this kinda thing back to us...of course it'll be like "Minority Report" and we'll have zero privacy... Ah, bravo fellow phone-o-phobe!!

Granted, our phone connection is over the internet now but when the phone rings, it's a loud bell sound from the good ol' days. I'm with you, I hate talking on the phone. I'd rather IM people. Maybe I'll IM you. Just to be different I bought all old fashioned desk and wall phones for our home.
