When we went out for our Christmas Eve dinner, both parties in the couple seated next to us were looking at their phones for a lot of the meal. What is the point??

Yep, rude. I try to leave phone in purse. I'm guilty of the every now and again cell phone use. Rick absolutely hates cell phones and the rudeness they bring forth. The Apple watch can bring rudeness to a whole other level. I have no desire to be that connected!
My fit bit can be programmed to advise me of a text or phone call. No thanks.

What really got me was that she just turned her back on me and walked away. I keep my cellphone in my pocket too as I would end up with my face buried in it too.

I always would have thought call waiting would be used to answer a call coming in while on another call, and tell the other caller you'd phone them back.
More often than not it became the "I've gotta take this call" and my call with the person was over. Sure could make one feel unimportant.

Call waiting was the beginning of some of this rudeness , I think.

The more I use my cellphone, the less I think I like it. I too have an apple watch and I love it EXCEPT I hate taking calls on it. If it rings and I'm in a conversation with a live person I just silence the call and let it go to voice mail. I like the apple watch and wear it most of the time because my gait is slightly off and I'm susceptible to falling. If I fall it texts an alert and if I don't respond quickly, it calls 911. I've known people in my age bracket who fell and were down for hours and hours before anyone came to their assistance. Living mostly alone I like knowing that wouldn't happen to me. I also looking at data about my heart rate, steps taken through the day etc.

My neighborhood is mostly vacation homes and with it being a Holiday week it is full and people seem to be getting more and more entitled here, We have dogs running loose all over the neighborhood, when I was coming home from work at 12:45 a.m. a little dog came running down the driveway and was chasing my car down the street while it's owners were all in the house. Besides the dog getting hit by a car there are fisher cats and coyotes all over around here who would take that dog.

I have a bunch of inventory that caught salt water from Hurricane Ian. I decided to donate it to a charity as I didn't want it bought and resold into the super discount recovery market. It is hard to find a charity that puts clothes right on people instead of reselling it in their resale stores. Finally found one and I have been assured it will put directly on children not resold.
What a racket most of them have going. Why does this remind me of the Sister Kinney scandal from years ago? I'd like to see their books.
