Cell phones vs landlines

macele · 09-12-2012, 07:36 AM

i don't talk on the phone a lot. never have. a couple of years ago i thought that texting was stupid. then i heard that pat summitt started and i ain't let up since! that's why i don't get facebook LOL.

i have both, cell and landline. after hurricane katrina, the landline worked when the cell didn't. just feels sad not to have a home phone. and i remember the days of grandma having a party line.

We all have cell phones, no landline.

I miss the days when you could not be reached when away from home...sometimes I feel like I have lojack!

But like some, I have a child and had an elderly Mom to attend to so a cell phone was mandatory.

Work dictates that I have both, but my landline is forwarded to my cell phone. I am one of those people that has to answer my phone when I know it is a potential client calling even if I have to excuse myself from the event. Sign of the times and it is essential to the survival of my business. I hate that, but I love my cell phone and use it for all my administrative office duties when I am out on a floor and that could be 12 hours or longer sometimes. It keeps me entertained while I am waiting in between finish coats. I even bought a little compatible speaker off groupon goods so I can listen to music while working. It is also how I take all my before and after pictures.

FYI if SHTF the United States Army still maintains their awesome pigeon reserve. There are still pigeon reserve outposts in many cities in the US. I have seen one. Plus, Pigeons make great pets! It's always good to have a carrier pigeon hanging around along with your landline and cell. Learn the basics how to train a carrier pigeon at eHow.com.

Our neighbors across the street have carrier pigeons, once the Zombie apocalypse comes I'll use one or two to send out an SOS!

Cell phone and land line here, the man cub has a cell so that his coordinates are always known.
