To cell or not to cell.

I keep toying with the idea of getting rid of our "land line" phone and switching to all cell phone usage. The question is how much time do we spend making local calls per month and how much would that increase with the use of a cell phone. I hate doing research like this! But I'm starting to get to the point where I think a cell phone would be very useful. I've always shunned them. I don't know. This will probably another one of my many little projects that sits virtually idle for months.

A few months ago when I had really become exasperated with the Skyline calls, I did a little research into getting rid of our land line too. Here's a good starting article on the topic:

(I don't think we're going to do it anytime soon, especially now that the oldest rugrat knows our number!)

Hello!
I'd like to advise AGAINST cell phone only (although not against cell phones in general--I've seen how handy they can be...and even essential). HOWEVER, as someone who may soon have babysitters (who may or may not have cell phones) you definately should have a landline available with all the emergency #s right next to it. Also, let's face it, cell phones aren't as "clear" as landlines. Just a thougt.

By the way--I'm thrilled to back online (our computer (an hp...no offense but I'm in the MAC camp--I had my Mac Classic for ten good years!)--was so virus-filled we couldn't even open our email. Our new virus programs found 96 bugs!. Anyways, I'm so thrilled to check back into the blog and see it absolutely thriving!

So, this chicken McNuggets contest--were you just a bystander or did you actually know the participants? I think it's absolutely disgusting and a little funny. A friend of ours just told us about this year's Darwin award winner (which, really, the idea of the awards are pretty morbid...). The guy who won was golfing with friends and thought 'what would happen if I put a part of my anatomy into the ball cleaner'--needless to say, the results were horrific. I can barely believe someone was dumb enough (not to mention uninhibited enough) to do that!

Anyways, don't we all eat everything we like? How refreshing!
