<title>Smartphone People are getting mean...</title>
<description> maybe they've been mean for a while now and I'm late in finding out. I'm not around people. :laughing

I was chastised by a doctor yesterday for not carrying my phone with me at all times. It perplexed him as well... he couldn't figure out how I can survive, even for a single day, without my phone attached to my body. 

I've given up on the chance that I'm going to get into the habit of having my phone with me at all times. not going to happen. No choice but to live life on the edge. - JamesJM</description><link>https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1162712,1162712#msg-1162712</link><lastBuildDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2026 05:58:05 -0400</lastBuildDate>

Don't like it (feels awkward in my pants) and really don't need it as no one ever calls me (sigh). Whenever I'm asked for my cell number I give my wife's as she has hers with her at all times. Sometimes I like just being &quot;unconnected&quot; to anyone. If I'm planning on offing someone I don't want to be hiding in the bushes and my wife calls me to pick up something.]]></description>

<title>This has been discussed here before... Funny how in a world where EVERYONE...</title><link>https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1162712,1162749#msg-1162749</link><description><![CDATA[ Has a damned phone stapled to them that punctuality absolutely SUCKS! Nobody is ever available to take a call. Call back?? Yeah, maybe. It also takes 137 calls n texts to plan the simplest outing with friends and or family. Hell, I remember being 10 years old and telling my Buds on Sunday afternoon....Lets play football next Saturday! And they, along with people you didn't even talk to, would show up.<br /><br />Yeah..I piss off people because my phone is OFTEN in another room. The ringer may or may not be on. To which I say..... DEAL!]]></description>

Hear the list down to #8 before you get to what you need........Then tell your last 4, Insurance, date of birth......favorite color. OH YEAH...WHY you called. And then be told .....The first available appointment is in June. June rolls around......You have to sign in with info THEY HAVE! Wait in the waiting room till 20 minutes past appointment time......Go back to an examining room and be told &quot;The Dr will be right in&quot; (IN ANOTHER 20 MINUTES!!).
