I just realized that I've not touched my cell phone for 2 days and I don't miss it at all. I've had the ringer off - truth is I had enough of the student loan place calling and I turned ringer off and simply forgot!
For obvious reasons one needs a phone for communication, in case of emergency, employment, relatives, etc. but if I can go days without even reaching for the cell apparently it is not that important?
I admit, I like to play a few games, read The Onion, Drudge Report, and Blastr on the phone, but my contacts consist of 4 people. Brother, sister, SIL, and grandmother, that's it.
I have had the privilege of having an iPhone since I've been living with my brother, and very fortunate of being on his plan, so they pay the bill.
Otherwise, if it were up to me, I'd be content with just my laptop and for a phone, just get one of those "pay as you go" phones.
Holy cow, I am so strange. I embarrass myself.
On another note: I was flipping the channels trying to find something to watch and ran across "Long Island Medium" ... the channel was having a marathon of the show. It was just background noise but I turned and listened when she was 'reading' someone and the lady told her how bad she felt as a mother and wife because her husband and children are going to Florida but she can't due to her severe panic attacks and anxiety plus fear of flying. The "Long Island Medium" shared her story of her own panic attacks, anxiety, SA and told the lady that the anxiety one feels is the spirit world (or spirits) trying to come through and sometimes their way to tell that person not to be afraid, Not to have phobias or fear of living. She told this person she would never wish anxiety on her worst enemy.
Interesting, because I've never thought of it in such a way. Now, I am not saying this is true, not true, whatever...point is, it just made me stop dead in my tracks and really think. Interesting view, I guess.
