PAST CT Spring GTG May 6th 2017

[Spike60]

With all due respect to those guys...neither are good at pms. Bob is best with a phone call and dd is highly functioning on ebay

Yeah, it's tough this time of year. But I'm trying to hit the site at least once a day and keep up on things. I can only check in when I jump on the store computer or the one at home. Not quite a citizen of the "connected world" we now have.

Funny but true story. My little flip phone croaked last year and I went in to get another one. When I told the girl it had died 3 weeks prior, her jaw dropped and she said , "You were without your phone for 3 weeks!" I said, "It wasn't that bad, I had plenty of food and water and I got through it OK."

3 weeks huh

That's all I got, A little flip phone and it works great. I don't do texting and all that
other crap so I feel no need for one of them fancy phones. All my buddys have them
so i'm good. I even bought a used flippy on the bay for a spare for when this one dies.

The $50-$60/month for an iPhone gets old really quick.

That's like a nice 797 every year now that I think of it

I know folks paying over 100 a month for the I phones.
Not for me. My bill is 25 bucks a month. That's enough.

My main phone line is a land line. Can't tell you how many people have tried to send me a text on it, I just laugh at them!

And I access this site on my computer, period!

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Very rarely do I login from a PC.
I do everything on the phone. WAYYY easier.

 

[Mattyo]

I like each device for what it is. If I'm doing more serious conversation then I prefer my keyboard and home computer. Btw, I'm back up and running in that dept after my 1000w kingwin superdy duperdy power supply pooped out on me last week right before the GTG.

Love my phone to check messages and keep current...which I do throughout the day.

My landline also exists....just in case. I do plenty of calls on it though, and its through basictalk.... $10/mo. cheap enough to keep that number that I've had for years.

back to saws

I think I might just cancel my phone for a year. I want a 797! Lol

$100 a year for me, and I maybe use half the minutes up. That's what, $8.33 a month. Half the time I don't even know where my phone is. I have NEVER sent a text, and I actually find it amusing that people get frustrated when I say "I don't text", or they'll be griping "I couldn't get you on your cell". Connected world works for some, but I've got more of an off the grid mentality. I really don't want to be connected/accessible 24/7, and unplugging from everything now and then isn't a bad idea. Keep in mind how many times the store phone can ring this time of year, and the idea of more calls, messages, texts coming in................I kind of put a limit on it. Some nights I'm home and I'll even take the land line off the hook.

21st century? Yeah I get it. But some folks are hopelessly addicted to those phones. Can't go 3-4 minutes without checking them. Every minute you spend on your phone is another minute you're not doing anything else. And they add up.

Thank you for interjecting some sanity. You are dead right you know......

 

[tree monkey]

I tell people all the time that I can fix there phone.
ever just sit and watch people and there phones?
or a young couple on a date?

put the dam phone down and live your life, your missing over half of it. thank me later

 

[MustangMike]

Last year my wife & I went to a local steakhouse, and there was a young couple at a nearby table. The whole time they were there, both of them were frantically typing into the phones held up in front of their faces. They never said a single word to one another. We just shook our heads in disbelief!

 

[tree monkey]

I seen it all day long at the gtg, leave the dam thing in the car and enjoy the day

 

[jake wells]
