HOw did people date in 1989 without a cell phone??
Glad you are not getting involved with her. She is a control freak. Your life would be miserable. Count your blessings.

P. S. I wish cell phones were banned outside one"s home or car. I am so tired of rude people spreading personal conversations all over the place and talking in public about things that children should not be hearing in a language they certainly should not have to listen to.

We scratched messages in picture art on the wall of our caves or sent smoke signals.

I was lucky, one of my friends was so high tech he trained a carrier pigeon!

I tell you...IT WAS HARD....

I had a dog named Joe I had to take with me everywhere. I would say "Look Joe, this is my new boyfriend". Then I would scribble messages on a piece of parchment paper and put it in Joes mouth and say to him "Send it to my boyfriend, Joe!"

Joe would run miles up hills and valleys as I waited hours for Joe to return with a response. Finally Joe would return with a response and we (boyfriend and I) would meet in the woods at dusk. Listening to the crickets with our lantern by our side, we would talk hours and hours about our plans and dreams for the future.

Then morning would arrive and we would both leave as we came. Joe by my side protecting me from enemies. One time we encountered a huge snake , which I shot with my shotgun. But thats another topic. Good days.

I'm going to PM you my phone number so we can talk offline. All this online Foreplay between me and you needs to be upgraded to LIVE TALK.

Once again demonstrating your inability to keep stories straight. You don't remember the LONG PM you sent me about your sandbox and the adult diapers? How hurtful that you should forget so fast.

A gift and a curse.

I used to have it on at all times, just in case of emergency. But too many texts and emails at work kill my productivity.

Plus the constant emails and texts at work hurt communication, IMO. If we talk in the morning- asking how's your day so far, then in the PM sometime, then after work the same question is asked, I'm going to shut down. I would rather have a chance to miss you and have some things built up to talk about within one good conversation than me mumbling the same thing multiple times in a day. Some of this has to do with personality though- I just don't see the need to be on the phone/text with someone rehashing the same questions. It gets really annoying.

You're not embracing it correctly. Steps:

1. Gotta clone a sim card.
2. Get a pay as you go one and swap it out.
3. Get your Chinese friend in the IT department to record a tech phone call to relatives.
4. Make random phone calls to India tech support centers and play them back.
5. Enjoy!
