Now, if it would save us money, I probably wouldn't have an
issue with it. Well, I would have an issue with it because those touch screens
do not like me (apparently my fingers are too cold most of the time – which is
a problem I also have with my Nook). He gets mad at me when he wants me to do
something on his phone, yet it's his stupid phone that won't work with me. Do I
want that kind of frustration all the time? I don't think so.
Besides, I'm home all day, on my laptop with my e-mail
account open. Tell me why I should go the extra expense.
He's thinking it's not an extra expense, though. That's
because he was able to get his company to pay for his phone (they wanted access
to him and that was his price). I kind of like the fact we're saving money on
the phone and see no reason to upgrade.
However, I told him I would probably get one (but not an
iPhone; probably one of those smart phones that has a real keyboard) if I ever
got another job and needed access to my e-mails. Frankly, I hope it never comes
to that.
And no, this is not just a phone issue. He was like this
before I got my laptop, too.
He kept saying I needed one. I hadn't discovered my love of
writing at the time, and rarely used the computer, so I saw no sense in getting
one. Then the writing bug hit and I decided that maybe I could write if I had
my own laptop. Man, he was all over that. You'd think he won the lottery!
But don't you think it's strange he WANTS to spend money? I
know, you think it's strange I DON'T!! J

Now on to sports!
Football – I'm finished! Every team I rooted for lost. I
refuse to watch a Super Bowl game with the two teams I despise the MOST! Not
even for the commercials. I'm sure it'll be on our TV, though. My husband
probably can't NOT watch it!
Hockey – Yay! It's back! And the Penguins have won their
first two games. They won't be playing in Columbus

Smart phones are good if you travel or work long hours. My very favorite app is the map. I do a lot of garage sales so that comes in handy if I'm in a strange area.
I agree, Maria. When you aren't near a computer, they can be very handy.
I was indifferent about Smart phones until my wife got me one for Christmas a few years back. Now I don't know what I would do without it. At home or not, they can be make you more productive! :)
DL - I would think they'd be a time sucker. But then, so is the Internet! I really need to get to work! :)
I'm the only one in the extended family (including kids and grandkids)that doesn't carry a smartphone. This seems to make them all crazy. I'm not sure why.
Linda - Glad I'm not the ONLY one who makes people crazy! :)
Actually, I don't even think they should be called phones anymore. Who talks on them? They're more like mini-computers.
I didn't want a smartphone for a long time, and I'm a techie! Like you said, I didn't need one, and we didn't want the extra expense. Then I got a job at a place where they block all blogs on the computers, and I like to read blogs during short breaks or while I'm waiting for a slow process on the computer, so now my phone is a godsend. It's handy for when you're out and about and want to look up reviews before you buy something, or for the maps.
I'm not a big cell user. We have one phone that we share and most of the time it is shut off.
Ivy - One phone. I can almost handle that!!
