How interesting. I sat across the table from a young lady at a baby shower
who text messaged the entire time. I thought it was very rude.

Neal,

I just returned from a meeting in Chicago. The person next to me had
her phone on vibrate, but my co-worker and I could still hear it every
time it went off. She proceeded to send text messages for most of both
days. Nothing serious or life-threatening, mind you, as her and her
friend would giggle every few minutes. I knew there was a good reason
for the concealed-carry law.....

Re: OT - Just what people need!

My husband has asked about our getting cell phones twice now so I guess we
will be getting them. He had to go to the hospital once on his own from the
dialysis center (to be declotted) because I was at the grocery store and the
center couldn't reach me. What I would like to find is a plan that will
allow us to buy X number of minutes without losing them if they're not used
in a certain number of weeks/months/years. We only want them for an
emergency, so a regular plan wouldn't be feasible for us.

I think Cingular or some company like that has "roll over" minutes.

Re: OT - Just what people need!

It sounds to me like a Tracfone might work for you.

There is no plan that you have to sign up for. You just put the minutes on
your phone, and replenish when you've used the minutes.

My Tracfone ends up costing me about $7 per month, and I don't think you
can do much better than that. My minutes pile up unused, but they don't
expire.

I have a Page Plus phone, which works very well in the Toledo area. It
uses the Verizon network. Your minutes accrue, but you have to add at
least $10.00 (80 minutes) every four months. That works out to $2.50 a
month, which is very reasonable.

Re: OT - Just what people need!

I consider my mobile phone for emergencies mostly, and for free
long-distance to my son in Colorado. I've had one for years--since they
first became affordable actually after Hurricane Andrew when we were 3 1/2
months without a regular phone, and my son was to be married here. Remember
the "brick".

Other than the above I virtually never use it, and think some people are so
very rude with their use.

Re: OT - Just what people need!

I just heard on the network news that cell phones could be causing
brain tumors. Since I had a brain tumor and never used a cell phone,
could that be why the doctors said I had "atypical" meningioma?

Just a stray thought from the brain cells I still have!

That story has been around for years. There is no evidence to support it,
or so it is claimed.

Barb, I'm simply passing on what was in the news today.

I don't use a cell phone, but I have friends who do and simply want
them aware of potential dangers. I did check Snopes and found
nothing to refute this study.

Re: OT - Just what people need!

I remember hearing that several years ago, then never heard anything about
it again until the other night, when they were talking about it on the news.
Apparently the concern has raised its head again.

Yeah, well, Snopes still claims that there is no such thing as an
adverse reaction to Nutrasweet, and you know what I have said for years
about the short-term memory loss it caused me.

Really? I had only heard about it causing migraines. That's interesting.
