That's got to be worth something.<BR/><BR/><B>Theresa</B> -- Enjoy your iPhone. I'd smash one to pieces within a week if I had it. I go for the cheapest free phone I can get so I won't have to pay much to replace it.<BR/><BR/>I've got one of those deals under which I get a new phone every two years. I feel fortunate, then, that I didn't smash my old Nokia until I had it for over three years.<BR/><BR/><B>Krissi</B> -- Don't get addicted to those things! They're evil!<BR/><BR/><B>Paul</B> -- My wife was the first one to insist on chaining me to a cell phone. My office requires me to have one. There are times I'd swear the folks at that office hate me.<BR/><BR/>I hope the person who came up with those blue tooth headsets rots in hell.<BR/><BR/><B>McAngeli</B> -- My boss offered to give me a Blackberry. I declined. I don't want to pay for it when I smash it.<BR/><BR/><B>J.D.</B> -- "I hate my phone so you don't have to?" Got a nice <I>ring</I> to it.<BR/><BR/>It's better to crack the phone than the kitten, right?<BR/><BR/><B>Tiddles</B> -- No! God, no!<BR/><BR/><B>Imitation Angel</B> -- I'm on AT&T and didn't see a single model that looked like it could take a beating. I should switch over, maybe, and get one of those hate resistant ones!<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the mess my post caused ;)<BR/><BR/><B>Barbara Seville</B> -- Thanks for the compliment and the tip! Since you deal with those things all day long, you must truly hate them.<BR/><BR/>The blue tooth people remind me of the Borg, what with their flashing lights and weird technology that looks like it's growing out of their ears. That's just creepy.<BR/><BR/><B>Shaxx</B> -- Thanks for the great link on your page. I appreciate that!<BR/><BR/>I need to put up a "top droppers" list of my own, I see...<BR/><BR/><B>Matt</B> -- I will never, never get that addicted to a phone. Phones annoy me. One that follows me around annoys me even more.<BR/><BR/><B>Da Old Man</B> -- I won't ask how you know that. Honestly.<BR/><BR/>The Israelis developed something that will jam cell phone signals in an area about the size of a Greyhound bus. I would love to carry one of those around with me.<BR/><BR/><B>Don</B> -- One of these days, I'm sure I'll get the chance to rediscover how great life can be without a portable irritant that I'm required to carry with me. I'll be a happy The Hawg, indeed.<BR/><BR/><B>Angelinabeadalina</B> -- I should start up that Anti Cellphone League. A lot of people would join, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>That reminds me of a golf story. I was playing with this friend of mine and his wife called him on every single hole. I came close to saying "screw this" and heading home.<BR/><BR/><B>KIM Jong IL</B> -- You big man! <I>Big</I> man!HawgWyldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749940044190568834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-23811935521368564792008-12-02T16:08:00.000-06:002008-12-02T16:08:00.000-06:00I'm with ya, my man.

He actually got away without having a cell phone until about 2 1/2 years ago. . .refused to buy one for a former job because they wouldn't foot the bill and he didn't want a cell phone. He hasn't washed his or thrown it out a car window yet, but I know he wishes he could! Thank goodness he's not a cell phone kinda guy, or it would drive me crazy. I know people who continually call their spouses all. freaking. day. long. Nope, sorry, I'm a big girl.

That's what I have a stereo in my truck for. Give me a break."<BR/><BR/>Then my company gave me a $250.00 Visa card for some damn thing or other, just when my phone was cratering, so I went to get a new one. Well, the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone had just come out and the guy said he would sell it to me for...you guessed it...$250.00. <BR/><BR/>Oh, what the hell, I'll try it. And guess what? Now I love it. I even bought an 8 gig chip so I could download more music, I take pictures of everything in site and I can download songs from my computer using the bluetooth feature. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and it talks to the Bluetooth in my truck, so I don't even have to take the phone out when I get in my truck. I can make calls by voice command, and if I get an incoming call while I am jamming to music, the stereo shuts off and the call comes through on my stereo speakers. I guess I am hooked!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994185648078518634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-8890273346471438682008-12-01T20:14:00.000-06:002008-12-01T20:14:00.000-06:00You can turn on the vibrate, then if you push 33 y...You can turn on the vibrate, then if you push 33 you can skip the @$#@ voicemails, I hate vm too that's why we have caller id not to have vm...
