I see people who have cell phones growing out of their ears, and am awed. I know I wouldn't be able to think of what to say for that long.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-24723430537699534572007-02-22T01:42:00.000-06:002007-02-22T01:42:00.000-06:00I feel nothing but dread when I hear a telephone. ...I feel nothing but dread when I hear a telephone. I remember when I was a teenager, I loved talking to my best friend and later Allen (then my boyfriend) for minutes that ran into hours. I can't recall exactly when my joy turned to dread, but at a certain point I began to freeze when talking to just about anyone. It gets worse the older I get. It is very rare now for me to dial a number and call anyone. I think blogging was a godsend for me, giving me a way to connect that feels right.Theresa Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103717736011804799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-55475448050266392662007-02-21T20:45:00.000-06:002007-02-21T20:45:00.000-06:00thank God for answering machines....*giggling*thank God for answering machines....*giggling*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-20406148238304579632007-02-21T18:59:00.000-06:002007-02-21T18:59:00.000-06:00ON 9/11 in this area cell phones were useless.

OH my. The conversations I had on that baby. I just got the hot pink Razor with bluetooth earpiece. Not the best reception but I love the convenience. I find I get dozens of calls on my cell phone a day now, work related. A blessing and a curse.Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927983874624510031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-83862624662842474242007-02-21T15:12:00.000-06:002007-02-21T15:12:00.000-06:00I'm with you on the whole telephone thing.

I mean, I loved the invention of caller id, except that the problem with it, is that although it tells me who's calling, it usually tells me I don't want to talk to whoever it is that is actually calling.

If you're looking for a cheaper way to call places. Google has come cool tricks out there (search it), plus Onesuite is an amazing phone service that integrates the web and cheap calling. They can't help the sound of your voice though. Either you like to hear yourself talk or you don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-24656073665336753702007-02-21T09:44:00.000-06:002007-02-21T09:44:00.000-06:00Maybe that's why you have a better relationship wi...Maybe that's why you have a better relationship with the invention than I do...I've never been in love with the sound of my speaking voice. I've never even been temted to do an "audio entry" on my blog...<BR/><BR/>Yes, you know where to find me, and I you... But it would still feel more like a real friendship if it could be expressed in some other medium as well... Virtual friendships are too...virtual.Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.com
