    I got through a minute. Couldn't hang through another minute. I do love my phone. But I do not take selfies.

    Haha - I managed through less than that. Need a synopsis, please!

    So based on the subject line...I don't even love my phone (and have taken a selfie literally twice - one to my sister and the other to my husband; and oddly enough, both with our Cat #2). Not really the chatty Cathy type, and I just don't feel the need to be so...connected...all the time.

    In a way, the new technology has allowed me to NOT be so connected, or at least to do so on my terms.

    Phone rings or a text comes in while I'm driving or working or living my life? Fuck it, that shit's staying in my purse, and I'll check it when I check it.

    I refuse to be a slave to it, as I've seen so many others do. Keep looking at the screen and walk into traffic, ya dumbass.

    We will never have a zombie movie that can match the bizarre behavior of the everyday reality of this strange and nearly universal phenomena. A lady staring at her cell phone while walking in the post office parking lot very nearly walked into my vehicle this afternoon while I sat there in idle waiting for her so inch her way by. She never even looked up. People are strange, indeed!

    I probably use my phone more talking to you fellow PJ junkies then I do actually talking on it!! Lol but no stupid Candy Crush or other crap. I have a Mah Jhong app and a Cribbage app downloaded.. And am looking for a good Solitaire one, but that's it.. It's a tool.. Not a respirator!!! I swear people think if their phones as a life line.. I look at it like what it is.. A minor necessity. But I do love my phone..

    It really is a good practice to just leave your cell phone home once in awhile when you go out. I do this a few times a month. It helps me maintain a perspective of how rude we can all be with these fucking things.

    ^^^ The worst. Nothing like trying to capture a moment and realizing afterwards you completely missed the moment while there.

    I will say it is kinda awesome to think that I can have my entire music collection at my fingertips in seconds.I could have only dreamed about such a item as a kid.So not all bad.

    You can have that with an iPod. No phone necessary.

    Why have both? Most of us have cell phones anyway. Why carry an iPod along with that?

    I have both, I have no need for a stupid smart phone taking over my life. No need for a data plan because there is no need to be on the internet anywhere other than my laptop. I don't have to live connected to the internet 24/7 and I save big bucks doing it.

    My parents had one of those. The cost of a call per minute was astronomical.
