Big OUCH. I swore I'd never own another cell phone again. In Vermont it doesn't really matter if you have one. If you don't have one in Virginia, everyone looks at you like a moron. Still debating getting rid of the cell phone I have now.
Not many folks where I lived had them, so it was like a status thing. It got so bad that I had a judgement on my credit report for seven years. 
As for being without one, that is the best thing about the Dragon... it forces you to be put the damn thing away and have some uninterrupted fun.
I thought Naveed and someone else were gonna when they could be "connected."In a little fairness, 'veed had some family health concerns, but it wasn't like he could get back there in a few minutes.

My step-mother is having back surgery Oct 4. She will be laid up for some time and asked if I'd take the dogs. I hesitated because I knew that I'd get attached to Cubs, but agreed to put her mind at ease and out of respect for my dad(deceased).
Well, yesterday while at OG-Racing, she calls and tells me of her father's renewed cancer and heart problems. Then she reminds me about taking the dogs(I had forgotten) and states that it might be for good. Wasn't ready for that. I'm hoping that she's just weary and will reconsider after she's up and well. Besides, with my dad gone, the dogs are her only constant companionship.

I hear you on that. But you would be surprised on much you enjoy the convenience of having a phone.

You'd be suprised how liberating it is to be disconnected.
Didn't have one for a bit, at first it was a little strange, but I enjoyed it.

When we lost cable access here at home, i was in bed earlier, rising earlier, and just plain more productive.
