Reply #8: we own *one* for emergencies

[Donnachaidh]

DH keeps it in the car while doing his route. We've debated getting a second, but I prefer not to be distracted by some moron calling or texting me over something stupid. I don't need to be speaking to everyone every moment in order to validate myself. Nor do I need any of the gadgets that are supposed to make my life better. I can read a map and street signs, and know my area well wnough I can drive without crutches.

My brother, who for years didn't want one, now has given up his landline and is fully cellular. Still can't figure out that one -- only excuse is his need for gadgets and distractions. :shrug:
