I think the reason I can go without a cell phone is because I am a SAHM to younger children (preschoolers). We don't do a lot of playdates and such and we are not really a scheduled family, so I spent more time looking for it after the battery crashed than I did talking on it.

Get a cell phone whenever you want to but don't give her the time of day. She's showing some bad signs.

You think you have it bad, I actually had a girl tell me I'm not her type because I'm married...jeez some people, what's the world coming to?

Honestly though, she probably did you a favor. If it wasn't the phone it would be some other gadget or material possession that would have come between you.

I don't see a thing wrong with that. Anyone that would say they wouldn't date anyone w/o a cell phone is just plain foolish...and obviously very young!!

Maybe like those cell phones they had back in the late 80s, that had a handle and looked like a briefcase.

Yea, that's how the satellite phones are including a big antenna but I don't mind I like it that way.

What a disaster, huh! I wonder how people ever got together! They even managed before any telephones!

There used to be some advantages, though - you could call somebody to just hear his voice and hang up.
