(25,586 posts)against my wishes there would be serious discussions regarding the future of our relationship, and the same would happen if I were to do something that disrespectful. I'm not a big fan of sanctimoniously bullying my family members in order to make myself feel superior.
Btw, my phone has an atlas. The difference is that it takes up no extra space, isn't accidentally left in the wrong car, and updates itself regularly. It's also a stack of books for reading when I find myself unoccupied, a stack of comics for the same purpose, a set of encyclopedias, a couple of boardgames, a handheld video game system, an appointment calendar, a watch, an alarm, a stopwatch, a scientific calculator, a memo pad, multiple shopping lists, a checkbook and bank ledger, a camera, a video camera, and a big-ass stack of Coltrane CDs.
Oh, and it's the entire friggin Internet. In my pocket.
