Texting on cellphone, pdas (personal digital assist.)

[loneleaf]

Some days ago my laptop broke down... Oh i never imagined the days would be so boring without this high-tech machine although i have just lived within its existence for 4 months.
The same goes for when my cellphone was dropped into the water...that time i hadnt had my laptop. Oh well, i befriended with my TV. But gosh, i missed it so much that tiny thing and its little keyboard.
It's not that im an addict (am i ever? :P). When we r used to one thing, we understandably find it uneasy without it

My cell phone is usually off, although this time of year, with the snowy roads, I do carry it.

I don't have email access and I have texting blocked. I was receiving a bunch of spam texts, at 15 cents/spam. So I had it blocked.

I've said this before, but I'm not in the cell phone habit. I don't have kids that I have to keep up with and the mountains around here make reception iffy at best.

My husband and I have become as bad as teenagers about texting. Corrupted Mom and my dear friend Sheila into the fold. Then started my brother. Husband, brother and I just got Blackberry Curves, they are quite snazzy although I am still learning it. My mom get some kind of samsung phone with a Qwerty keyboard and got one for my Dad who is attempting to figure out this texting nonsense we keep forcing on him. My parents are young, still got time to learn at 53 and 55. Mom has a Blackberry for work, as a director of IT she really should know more than me.

I like that everyone texts me because I can pretend to be busy and ignore them. I have been known to ignore many a call to my cell phone or put it on silent, not vibrate completely silent.

I have found that my younger daughter & started communicating better when we started texting back & forth. DH & I communicate by text a lot.

Elder Daughter has let me know she'd rather I not text her - she doesn't want to pay the 10 cents for messages. I respect her decision, but I don't necessarily like it. I'd like to send little love notes occasionally.

It's like email, the message can be ignored if the timing is not good - unlike phone calls, which always seem to come at highly inconvienent times.
