You should have left way before the end of the date
Oh, I'm devastated! Just when I was looking for the next TVSG thread, turns out that he started a thread just yesterday about the Sunday date and then had the thread removed because BAD WEATHER in Philly led to the date's postponement!!!!!! Oh, moderators, fie upon you for removing the thread! The continuing saga of TVSG's life is so entertaining and the weather conditions have always been so detrimental to any fulfillment of any dates. Yikes.
My dad got on my nephew last year when he was texting at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Nephew's argument was "times have changed." Dad's was, "not in this house, they haven't."
Nice answer from your father. It reminds me of how things were back in the day when I would be upset because I had a curfew while my friends didn't. "But daaaad! My friends can come home at any time" which my dad would tell me something like "That is in THEIR house. There are rules here" .
Before, you would tell people where you could be located from X time to X time and nobody had a problem really. Then came the pagers. After that, pagers which texting capabilities. Then the celphones/mobiles. Later, they had the capability to text, surf the net, etc. Now with touch screen technology and all. People are pretty much able to send rockets to the moon. All this social networking. No more handwritten letters or cards, its all texting now and emails. Is technology really enhancing relationships or not? Hhhhmmm that could be another thread I'll start later.
Aaaaaanyways, back to mobiles/celphones...great points guys. Keep 'em coming.
I think it's going to get worse and worse, since teenagers practically have their phones attached to their arms. I can't imagine what's going to happen when they enter the workforce.

No phones at my table any day! We usually don't answer the house phone during dinner either.

She cancelled the date not me because of a severe thunder storm warning
My little sister, who I don't talk to anymore, has a cellphone with an MP3 on it that holds umph thousand songs & movies. It also has a camera & video lense. It has a GPS, bluetooth, unlimmitted text, unlimmited talk, 3 way, call waiting, unlimmitted web, Aps for Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, etc. In addition to that phone, she has 2 other phones (Iphone & Droid.) She also has an itouch, portable blueray & DVD player, 2 MP3's, 8 TV's (3 of which are big flat screens,) 3 laptops & a netbook, Facebook account, Myspace account, & Twitter account that she updates every 6 hours or so. The other day, she has the nerve to tell me that her life sucks. She said "You don't understand what I'm going through." Wow you'll never know how horribly pissed off I was. I hate her now. She's just a b****. Plus she's in deep debt since she refuses to do any really hard work.
Pretty soon somebody's gonna make a flying motercycle with a touchscreen keypad implanted on the handle bars so you can text & emale your friends while you're flying. But the way things are going, someone's gonna say "My damn text enabling flying motercycle doesn't fly high enough" or "It doesn't text right." You'll hear from me again when that happens.

I suppose the offices will become even more disgusting living hell!

Good for your Dad!
Somebody was just asking me how late is appropriate to call me. Not to worry! If I go to sleep or no longer want to deal with communications I simply turn the ringer OFF!

And many times it is the parents who have to go through those bills. I remember this article on Yahoo about this teenager who got a bill for an outrageous 4 or 5 figure dollar amount. Her father snatched the phone away and destroyed it. Some people were outraged with the father's reaction, go figure.
I remember when I was in high school. My parents would ask me to please remove my headphones and be part of what was going on whenever we went out. Now it makes more sense.
