Chef Not sure I can do a step by step pictorial, I have an old flip phone. I might post recipe with steps.

Flip phone? Luv it! Still miss the old Razr!

I seriously wish I could go back to flip phone days. Much less hassle and stupid interruptions from all those app notifications.

PapaSop Everyone gives me grief about them, but I have a cheap plan for unlimited talk and text.

Dr_Pain PapaSop Frankly, I would give up all types of cell phones, and such distractions. Can’t really see how technology has helped build a better society, family unit, nor country.

Other that Meatgistics and Walton, can’t think of a single good thing to come out of all this c r a p.

PREACH IT!!! I would not go so far as “party lines” but there was something fun in testing your agility to a phone cord stretch throat level. I don’t even think I would want voicemail features. If it is that important come visit or call back.

Dr_Pain Have a brother in law that constantly gives me grief about not answering my cell phone, told him I had the surgery to remove the dang thing from my ear.

Dr_Pain My favorite mobile phone was that old Motorola one piece that I had up until I am thinking about 1998. Then I had to go to a big city, I think was Detroit, on assignment & apparently my old analog phone would not work & I had to go digital. That old analog was more durable & heavy duty & much louder & easier to hear on than any allegedly clear digital version. Then you see what happened to TV.

bocephus FOMO - fear of missing out. People just can’t resist seeing just who is calling or who is texting. They need a life. Frankly, I believe that the quality of life and of family has diminished over the years. H ell, Families don’t even sit down to a meal together anymore.

SO much for progress

Approximately 6 years ago I informed my wife, kids and friends that:

1. At work my cell phone will be on my desk and will be checked ONLY if I am at my desk…AND… that for any pressing emergency that they should contact my office phone and talk to my secretary. once I get home I will no longer have
2. At home my cell phone will be on my bathroom counter and will only be checked when I go use the bathroom (unless my wife specifically ask that I keep my phone handy). Other than that, if it is a pressing issue that they can contact my wife or kids to get in touch with me (since we no longer have a home phone).

My wife and kids always have their phone handy, so my real friends have their numbers (and my real friends also know where I live). All people of value in my life know that I prefer a face to face over any other mode of conversation or communication.

I made the transition because I was consumed from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed at night, and felt that I needed to be at everyone’s disposal (friends, family, family friends, patients etc…). I have felt so liberated ever since. It also weaned out a lot of leaches out of my life because they were not getting their ways fast enough.

FOMO is definitely one thing. Fear of disappointing is another. People now believe that they are entitled to instant results and gratification. They call (no answer), leave a voicemail, send a text (2 seconds after leaving the voicemail) and then track you down. I’ve had people in my life call/text/email repeatedly. When I finally reach back and question the behavior their reply was “out of concern for me”. What a bunch of crock!!! It is because they grew irritated at being “IGNORED”. Again people feel entitled to Instant Gratification.
