Ok, this is going to be a full blown rant. I hate Cell phones!

Now, I love the technology that lets us stay in touch. I love the features, like mobile text messaging, mobile email, surfing the web & so on. What I hate is people that LIVE on their cell phones. People that drive and talk, people that run over people in the isles of the grocery store because they can't control their buggy and talk. There is a time to put the phone down and a time to use it. People, you need to learn that there is a time to put the phone down and focus on the task at hand.

Take tonight, we were at the Kroger on Spout Springs Rd. I had a woman run into me 3 times with her buggy because she had her cell phone to her ear. Not just for a quick call but she was on the phone from the second isle of the store (Where she first hit me) all the way through the check out line and while she was loading her car. COME ON PEOPLE!

I'm going to pick on my sister here, but what are little brothers for anyway. But, last year on Mother's Day, she came to church with Patti and I (And the rest of the family). The ENTIRE SERVICE she kept fidgeting with her cell phone. I know it annoyed and distracted Patti, Both of my Parents and myself and no telling who else around us in the service. People that were there for a purpose.

And for those family members, friends and coworkers of ours that fuss they can never reach Patti or I. When we get home, we don't use our cell phones. Patti's in her purse, out by the front door where we may or may not hear it. Mine is turned off, and put with my car keys, not to be touched until I get ready to leave the house again. Why? Because we have a HOME PHONE. A phone line that does NOT drop the calls, does not bill by the minute, is much clearer to talk on and the phone itself is much easier to hold on to. If you've only called our cell phone numbers and have NOT even tried our home phone number, DO NOT fuss about not being able to get in touch with us.

And, if you are driving your car, or shopping, or sitting in church - PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND CONCENTRATE ON THE TASK AT HAND!!!!!!
