the last person on the planet without a cell"
I've been told this a few times in the past week. Is this true? I can't believe it.
Anyone else not have one of these things. Or am I really that out of it?
For what it's worth I don't have a tv either, I hear voices...from the devil
I don't have a TV either, but I do have a cell phone.
You are indeed one of the last... at least for me a cell is cheaper than a landline.
I've had a cell phone for well over a decade and work in TV. I'm the anti-you.
You are not alone.
I don't have cable TV, either.
I love not being at everyone's beck and call constantly. Cell phones, for all their convenience, have turned us into slaves to anyone who wants a minute or more of our time.
I laughed.Quote:

I've had only a cellphone for 8 years. With the included long distance it's been as cheap as a land line for every one of those years. It mostly sits on my desk at home.
I also don't have a cell, but that's only because I don't have any friends:frown:
Daaaamn... you are like that Brandon Frazier guy from the fifties in that one movie.
i think every cell phone has caller id and an off button. just because you have it, doesnt mean you have to answer it.Quote:

We don't have a cell phone because they are USELESS in Northern Vermont. If we had one, it would be used for emergencies only, and any place we'd be having an emergency has no cell service.
So that's the reason you're the only one who hasn't given me shit about my handle.Quote:

Cell phone service sucks in the UP, too. It gives you an easy out when you pull a fez, though.
Tell them their smoke signals are contributing to global warming.Quote:

no cell phone, no cable. actually i was having a discussion with my gf the other night about what % of americans dont have cell phones, she thought it would be quite small, i figured 50, comeon there's kids and oldies and bitter crotchety hold outs like me.
No Cell, No cable/satellite/whatever.... I am an admitted Netflix addict though.
No cell here either
both me and my wife
as everyone else is suffering from various brain tumors we'll be skiing deep pow (unless global warming takes hold then we'll all be f*cked)
Totally gave up a landline 3 years ago an haven't looked back. Honestly, if you live in an area where coverage is good a cell is far superior to a landline. I can call anywhere in the country without paying extra, I can take it anywhere when I want to and I can leave it at home or turn the fucker off when I don't want to be bothered, caller ID tells me who is calling me and I can decide if I want to answer or not (if your # isn't in my phone you'd better leave a message because I'm not gonna pick up), and thanks to the vibrate feature I never have to hear it ring in the first place.
Ya'll are a bunch of elitist luddite assholes ;)
I have 2. Long story.
You just want to be one of those people who talks into two phone at once, don't you? :)Quote:

No TV either. Nothing better/scarier than biking home from work after dark, and seeing neighborhood after neighborhood quietly sedated around a pulsing blue tube that shines through the drapes. A nationwide non-thinking salivating malleable populace. It's a tyrants wet dream.
One of my friends just got his first cell phone late last summer.Quote:

Personally, I think it's rude and obnoxious to answer your phone and have a conversation on it when you're out in public. I know there are people who say their work "depends on" such access and use, but frankly I don't believe that any job "depends on" a cell phone and the ability to talk on it anywhere, anytime. I think too many people are too eager to be tethered by technology.
So while I have a cell phone, I use it only rarely --and in the most abnormal fashion, according to my friends.
Took the words right outta my mouth.Quote:

They officially call themselves the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. They have Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Tribal Councils. Many of the businesses in the community are KBIC somethin' or other....
Political Correctness, in this case, doesn't reflect reality (at least here).
Fixed it for you.Quote:
