My ringtone is “I Touch Myself.”
That way, I am motivated to answer it before she gets to …I touch myself.. to save myself any embarrassment.

My phone is usually off, though, because I am NOT a cell phone person. I usually only look at it a few times a week.

Yes, my friends and family hate this.
No, I don’t care.
I am not a doctor, fireman, CEO, parent, or rescue worker etc.
I don’t need to be immediately available to people.

I LOVE that first note. I may have a t-shirt made.

Sad thing is that I try to do this at work, but people prefer not to look anyone directly or even indirectly. I work in a large building and while I only work with a small portion of them, I see the same group of people when I walk to or from the parking areas. Only about 10% of them make any attempt to smile or do some sort of greeting to each other (not including the ones who obviously know each other). It’s not just to me, I’ve watched them ignore each other as well. And when a housekeeper is out cleaning the hallway leading into the building? They might as well have been part of the woodwork.

But outside of work? Not really all that safe to do.

Why on EARTH would you want to look into the eyes of a complete stranger? At a bus stop? If someone was trying to look in my eyes at a bus stop I would be finding an alternate route pronto.

I can enjoy the poetry of life while taking a lovely stroll through a garden or something. When I’m on public transportation, it’s head down, technology on.

I’ve been in a dorm in Reno, and I’ve used those washers…it totally deserved the note.

Oh look the cranky old people legion is rallying again.

Makes me wonder if Anne Landers and Dear Abby count as some form of PAN. We could just hook in a RSS feed and get plenty of easy calls of “Team Miss Manners!”

This poetry of life thing sounds interesting. Is there an app for that?

This is the thread I pulled up when checking PAN on my Android…Interesting.

Point taken – it was waaaay past my bedtime, though and I had just finished writing up a long ass report for the job I just got laid off from – cut me some slack, OK?

I think one of the happiest days of my life was when I realized I could watch X-Files episodes on my iPhone rather than experiencing three daily hours of the poetry of life on the LIRR.

To mix it up, I do also read books on the Kindle app. For-real books are heavy. Plus the last time I tried to lose myself in a paper-book, I got stuck reading 20 pages of Lisbeth’s Ikea purchases with no alternative material. Gads.

Maybe he’s being denied “the cootch” because he doesn’t think enough of the young lady to turn off his phone whilst basking in her company? Or perhaps his crass wording that describes being denied sweet lovin’ with a fly girl tells us a bit about his respect level/suaveness with women and THAT is the reason.

Chef he is not!

No props for perfect grammar & spelling (apart from the slangy “lurv”) while hopped up on the A-bomb?? Come on, people!
