Do you use a stylus with your smart phone?
Comments (10)Smart phone? Nope, I still have the same old stupid phone, and I've never learned how to text and the phone is seldom charged anyway, Elery and I currnetly have 6,000 minutes to use on the account, LOL. However, Elery has an iPod that I bought him for a Christmas/birthday gift, so I'm going to check out that link. When I get home tonight, because the office computer hits the "Sonic Wall" and won't let me access it, of course. Annie...See MoreWhere do you keep your phone??
Comments (32)We are below a bluff in a residential area around a river so cell phone reception is marginal - sometimes I can use my phone if I stand very still in a good spot. Landline is essential. We have the cordless phone base station in the bookshelf by the kitchen table. The charging bases are less than 3" by 3" so they can go almost anywhere. We keep one in the kitchen behind the espresso machine at the end of our L. That spot is right next to the patio door and convenient to the family room and kitchen. We have a hardwired phone in my husband's office so we are covered for power outages. Our phone service shares a fiber to the home with our TV and internet signals. I know that there is a battery that is suppose to last for at least 24 hours on the router box that converts the phone to an electrical signal, but we haven't had a power outage of more than an hour in the 10 years we've been on FTTH so there hasn't been any test of whether the system would stay up longer than cell towers if there was a major power disaster....See MoreWhen do you replace your CD card for camera?
Comments (11)Remember the topic I did called something like, "I don't know how to.....?" Well, I should have added in the topic that I don't know how to work my camera except for the basic settings. lol. DH bought it for me, along with a tripod, zoom lens, wide lens, etc. It comes with a video that I never looked at. I've looked at the book but for the life of me I don't understand it, and when I take a picture it's a spur of the moment thing, not planned. I have never been able to take a picture at night unless it's the moon. I try to take pictures of Christmas lights at night, but the camera either won't "click" or the lights are awful. Honestly I'm about ready for a P&S camera like my last one. DH and I share an iphone and he uses the camera for work. I really don't need an iPhone so that doesn't bother me, but they do take great pictures....See MoreDo you use hands free on your cell phone for driving?
Comments (86)I really was taken aback by the "holier than thou" take on my post. I sure don't feel that way, nor did I intend to come off that way. Hands free is legal in my state, however, the law now prohibits any contact with your cell, even when stopped in traffic. I've never used my cell in the car, I never look at texts and certainly wouldn't text myself. If hands free were illegal, I wouldn't do it. I never used my phone in the car before I had hands free and it is really a rare occasion when I do now - maybe to let someone know I'm stuck in traffic or running late. I have one route I take on a 2 lane country highway to my cabin, with long stretches of open road and sometimes I will talk to a friend for an extended period, but that, too, is rare. I am careful about when and where I talk, not on unfamiliar roads or when traffic seems to be erratic. I do feel like I am a super aware driver, I drive defensively. The same with my GPS...I always put in the address before I start moving and it talks me through maneuvers. I do glance at the dash display to see what the next move is going to be and how far away it is, but like I said above, it's no more of a glance than at my speedometer. I guess you can be livid if you want. I hope you don't ever turn on your car radio, or change the station or listen to the news. For some people that could be a big distraction and time with your eyes off the road. Same with smokers who light up while driving. Or people who drink their lattes, or even sip from water bottles. Only one hand available to control your car. I think it's a spectrum of distractions and abilities....See More- 11 years ago
