What made it easy for me was I was on a cruise & I had t-mobile for my cell svc,NO SIGNAL!I refuse to sign up for web svc on the cruise & trusted that the world could live w/out me & I w/out it! I survived & it was wonderful. Now that I'm back I don't use these as I often as I did before the cruise! I've realized there's sooo much beauty around us, that we need to slow down,simply slow down & embrace our surroundings! Thanks for the affirmation:-)!Love it!verlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445478005992209190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169423623331399681.post-75942063468378862052010-05-18T17:40:42.265-04:002010-05-18T17:40:42.265-04:00Exactly.

Being comfortable in one anothers silence is one thing, but it was almost like they weren't sharing a meal together at all. The cell phone thing is just rudeness, plain and simple, I think anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169423623331399681.post-19284599100164499302010-05-18T16:16:21.330-04:002010-05-18T16:16:21.330-04:00I saw two people sitting at a nice, dark, quiet ta...I saw two people sitting at a nice, dark, quiet table in a restaurant the other day.

Wait a minute, these shoes don't have wheels! <br /><br />You can't press Hide if they're boring you. You can't just hit the X and walk away. AND YOU CAN'T EDIT YOUR WORDS! It's horrible.<br /><br />Actually, I much prefer it and always feel way more alive after these experiences than online ones. So, yea, though I always close my laptop like an addict dramatically walking away from a drug, I think every day should have several unplugged moments.Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621332625562122360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169423623331399681.post-56055547300314190412010-05-14T20:39:40.064-04:002010-05-14T20:39:40.064-04:00ahhh I love it!!!

For me, it never rings anyway. And the one person I want to talk to, well, I live with her, and I'm loving every moment we spend together. I am hooked on facebook a little more than I would like at times, but I can walk away from it too, if I need to. It is good to disconnect now and then, and it's something I may look at doing as well, as long as my disconnect includes my princess. And BTW, I have to say thank you to you. I've been thinking of places for a honeymoon, and after your trip to Hawaii, I think that just might be our destination. What better place to celebrate our love than paradise.Doug Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069485550061606428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169423623331399681.post-30102087867618998772010-05-14T14:25:58.156-04:002010-05-14T14:25:58.156-04:00You said it sister.

(Clue -too late! made me lol) I try to be careful with social etiquette regarding the texting, I mean seriously, it's rude to have dinner with someone and text rather than talk to who you're with.

Like at your table of friends, say one's phone rings or they get a text, I really don't think they should answer it right then, when around a table of friends, it takes them away from the moment right then. Of course its good for emergencies, I need it so Jared can call me when he gets home from school or for Jeremy to tell me if he can pick up the kids, but just to know right then that my friend is just "loving this weather!" - not so much...I enjoy FB, love to see people's pictures, but once a day is usually enough for me and rarely on weekends when I'm home with the kids (there's no time anyway). To make a long story short ("too late!" - Clue), I get what you are saying and I think its GOOD to disconnect sometimes! "What am I supposed to do without my CELLLL phone???" lolSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187779881224393301noreply@blogger.com
