Cell Phone with Texting - Cell Phone
Hi ducja I know what you are saying and yes it does get a little annoying at times. I remember the days that you are talking about. I guess we need to get into the today world of electronics. I mean kids will go nuts if they don't have a cell phone to text with..

Luckily my lady is as good at text as Dirty Harry would be at small talk! We phone, and watch our minutes. But I do know people who are text addictive. I was recently sent on a training course away from home. We had to room share. I could just about take that, but my colleague must have texted all night. Who can text for 8 hours continuous? He woke me several times, but he looked knackered in the morning!

My boyfriend who is my husband now would complain whenever he texts me and I don't answer immediately. That was during the times when we thought we were so in love with each other. Today, we still text especially when he is out, but hardly.Sometimes, he doesn't even bother to text at all. If it is really important, we just give each other a ring. I can very well read his moods through his messages. He has a way of conveying his thoughts and emotions through text. Sometimes, it is easier for me to read him than to hear him.:-)

This calls for affirmative action, my friend. Either she goes or the phone goes. I know what you are saying, though. I was in that same situation. In fact, it was the phone I bought her and it was the worse thing! Hehehe. I would call her and she was not answering the phone. That became a problem for me. We talked about it. But eventually, I stopped talking about it because it was an issue for me. So in parting I knew I had to stop hanging out with her. So in that, goodbye was hardly even noticed. Why? Because she was busy texting her friend while I was telling her goodbye.

Hi Ducja, I agree that the use of texting is a tad bit out of control. I have a tracFone and it is cheaper to text than to make a quick call. Still, It is for emergencies only or at least that is what it is intended for. Only a limited amount of people have the number and most know not to call it just to chat or to text just for the fun of it. My 16 yr old however just doesn't seem to get it. For example, I'm at work and there is a phone she could just as easily call me on. does she? oh no. I get a text that goes like this...... Her: I'm hungry. Me: what would you like? Her: candy Me: What kind? Her: I don't know Me: Just call me!! She then calls me on my tracfone!!! To get to the bottom of what kind of candy bar she wants it took over 4 mins off of my phone when it all could have been easily and quickly settled had she just called my work phone to begin with. We've had several discussions about this and I think she is starting to get it. Time will tell. That is just one in many examples. I hate texting anyway. It does have it's place but most times it is quicker and easier to just pick up the phone and talk.

Hi, ducja1. I don't do any texting at all. But sometimes, I feel this way greatly about my husband's cell phone. He will not answer sometimes when I would call him. Why have an cell phone if you are never going to answer it? But anyway, he can be on his cell phone all day just as long as I don't have to get annoyed seeing him on it.

I do believe everything has its place. I personally don't like text messages, or any type of messages like emails & such, but becuase of my work, I sortta have to have it on my phone. My girl friend did that to me once & when I got home after work, she asked me how my day was. I told her, "what's the point? you already know. I answered you 47 times through text message. It's not like you don't know."

Yeh, sometimes it happen to me too - my significant other sometimes speaks by phone very long and it madden me, lol. About text messages - it my be interesting talking game...you can think longer by you write it and also it takes prolonged contact with you and your partner. If one call can be made in few minutes, then with text messages you can speak about the same in few hours. So thus you can be closer to each other all day along even if you are in one city corner, but she in other.

Since I am divorced and live alone, I don't have that problem, thank goodness. I think something like that would drive me nuts too. I don't text either, but I used to as my daughter and I would text over talking, but we talk now instead of texting. Bow, my ex has a cell phone, but it doesn't bother med that he has a cell phone, as since we are divorced, he can do with it what he wants. Take care, and have a very good day.
