about_cellphones sixteen yes, they can be annoying. but There are many situations I have been in that would have utterly sucked without a cellphone. Mostly to call a tow truck. I was in the middle of nowhere, at some faux rave, car fucked up horribly, and no ride home (home was a very far away place)... The tow guy saved my night. 4 raver mechanics couldnt save my car... and directions to parties, planning to meet up, emergency plan changes, and the whole not needing 50 cents to call someone who might not even be home to come pick me up or meet me or something...is nice. I just felt like I needed to post that because everybody seemed to be totally anti-cellphone. its better to be anti-annoying cell phone USER, I think. 030603 ... splinken I can't leave mine alone. It's my own little private world -- I live with a lot of people, and it gives me the opportunity to drive out into the country and have completely private conversations. It's rock and roll. 030603 ... birdmad as ratso rizzo the next person who near-hits me when i am already underway in the crosswalk and they don't see me because they are too distracted when they make that turn is getting their phone jammed up their ass if they don't kill me with their carelessness first some people need to fucking hang up and drive (i'm walkin' here, I'm Walkin Here!) 030603 ... rubydee these waves happen all around us now radiowaves microwaves low-frequency (you use it once in a while), low-radiation (the actual heating effect is small) cell phone waves have been shown to heat the area of brain just above the ear. use an external antenna people! remember the woman who cooked her insides with a microwave! that was low-frequency, highly ionizing radiation (she was exposed to microwaves escaping through a crack in the front door, at smoach level, which slowly cooked her organs). in other words, while microwaves cook you quickly, the waves of cell phones may cook you slowly over a longer period of time. and yer brain! 030604 ... minnesota_chris urban legend 030604 ... rubydee oh, not you again! well, it could be legend, but it is also possible. i was merely referencing it as a common anecdote that people could relate to. 030604 ... minnesota_chris Sorry ruby, I can't help taking a flyswatter to bad science. I do use a handsfree though, so I'm not completely an unbeliever. 030606 ... rubydee that's good chris...keep on swattin' the birdie, my propensity is to hit it back but i like that you play 030609 ... unhinged uuummm...is there a reason other than you hate me ambigiously now that you don't pick up your cellphone when i call? cause that doesn't quite make sense seeing as to how you seemed to miss me so much the last time we talked. i don't understand. maybe you dropped it in a bucket of water again. maybe you talked to frank campbell. either way, i don't know and i'm starting to get pissed that you are seemingly avoiding my every phone call. but maybe that's what i get for last week. either way, i'm not understanding. so about that fucking cellphone: WHY DON'T YOU PICK IT UP WHEN I CALL? i hate when i get all grouchy and have fits. *sigh* 030610 ... minnesota_chris because he doesn't want to talk to you. 030615 ... trixie mine gets all hot and sweaty from talking on it. 030616 ... moto if you say the right things to me, i'll get all hot and sweaty too 030616 ... trixie we should try that out sometime 030616 what's it to you? who go blather from
