Not me. I try to keep two calls going at all times. Constantly saying 'waitaminit' and switching back and forth between the two until I'm confused about who I'm talking to -- then we can have a good laugh while I flip off the guy behind me at the intersection who is blowing his horn at me because the light changed over 30 seconds ago. In-between-I recieve a text message and if it's funny I forward it to everyone in my address book, check my stocks, play a game, and juggle it with my other 2 cell phones. If the battery runs down while I'm going 75mph down the interstate I start looking around for the 12volt charger adapter, slowing down to about 45 in the process, weaving all over the place, forcing the semi-truck behind me to have to down shift and hit his jake-brake just to keep from rear-ending me while the gravel truck in the adjacent lane has to hit the shoulder to keep from side-swiping me. Of course -- once I find the adapter -- I have to text all my friends to tell them my battery needs to be charged. |

Reb? That was you? Sorry bout all the expletives I shouted at you, and the obscene hand gestures, and the Crystal Combo Sunrisers on your windshield. You made me get lipstick in places it shouldn't be, and I lost my call to my mother-who for 12 whole seconds thought I was in an accident, till I called her back. |

Unless I work as a police officer someday or part of emergency for a Hospital, as long as I have two feet and a heartbeat I won't ever either stoop to using cellphone or driving a car. These things make life a violent rush and haste, and I am interested in being part of that as little as possible. |

I very seldom drive and I threw the cell phone out last year. It was a bird dog in my estimation and sometimes (well, most of the time) I really like to be left alone to read, sew, sing, or otherwise just enjoy my own company. |

I love the violent rush of life!!! Cars - faster, faster, faster!!! Not only do I answer the phone (I do have bluetooth, for what it's worth), but I also read and write email in my car (Blackberry). I do it in the car, because I spend 3 hours a day driving and figure it shouldn't be wasted time.  |

Why do you still beat small children, Drauntz? (It's called a loaded question, and is usually considered impolite.) |

I ride a motorcycle and only answer my phone at redlights!  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

And I always try to be true to myself. to make sure that I am right again (although I have been always right) I have to call my cell phone. indeed I'm right. It is not easy to write a reply!!! |

Who kindly tells me the meaning of Sir Ron's words, "Why do you still beat small children, Drauntz? (It's called a loaded question, and is usually considered impolite.)" |

Senseless hand in moonless night buried a mine in journey of my thread sat invisible aside with motionless heart and sightless eyes waiting for its sound so He may laugh a falling sky where sun ducks to hide |

I live in a world where I imagine every call is incoming bad news...so I answer most, no matter where I am..  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Loaded questions are impolite... The longer I am here, the more I think I was raised by wolves. Those sorts of questions were considered a game, and method of education in my family. We got extra points for sarcasm too. And Suze? Nodding. Ringing phones are one of my newer phobias. *hugs* Came back to answer Ms. D. I still don't drive, (although I have a car) I have a cellphone too--somewhere--it was an inheritance of sorts, and never activated. The not driving thing actually became a "thing" after years of not driving. (My dad never drove either so it didn't seem weird to me--besides, we once had a very reliable Public Transit System here.) I was poor, and cars cost money to keep up--and I had an option to be a stay at home mother (which I have never regretted) or go to work to pay for the car and the daycare--and I might have just broke even. And cellphones are lovely in emergencies--but otherwise they are just another nuisance. |

*laughing* Mz. D.? Most days, I need a translator m'self. If it helps you feel better, I make a lot of netiquette mistakes too. But have a hug--  I quite often feel misunderstood too. |
