Some of you know that I have had bad luck with my old phone breaking, and the warranty replacement phone dying a couple weeks later.  I finally got a working phone!!!  I have to say, that being without constant contact with the world has been a liberating experience! No important phone calls to attend to (they just had to wait), no constant Facebook or KDC checking ( had to focus on my actual surroundings), and no emails popping up in my face asking me to volunteer for this or that.  I've missed my buds here at KDC, don't get me wrong, but I realized that I need to simplify my life.  My advice: Lose your phone for a week. It's kinda niceEmoticon 4951

I sleep with my phone. I am in full panic mode without it within reach. Im just not ready although I do see the wisdom of that.
 
Can I start with losing the tv or any other noise makers in my house? I hate noise.

I agree.  Some days, I don't bother to turn on my cell phone.  I've never been one to drop everything when the phone rings.  I just don't answer it if I am doing something or don't feel like answering it.  If it's important, they will leave a message.This drives a good friend of mine crazy. He lives and dies by his phone, but will NOT leave a message.  He says he's not talking to a damn machine!  Emoticon 4951

@BooBear:  Yeah, isn't that strange.  We rarely use our cell phones to actually talk to people.I rarely give out my cell number.  You have it because you're special!  Emoticon

@topcat.....You have been most missed my sweet chica, and I'm so stoked to see that you're back in action with a new celly-telly, but I can completely relate to gettin' off the grid and just enjoying the actual beauty of life, nature, peace, and calm without the world buggin'........I honestly believe that it's good for the soul and just all around healthy to "just be" and rejuvenate oneself without the drama and negativity that is an everyday occurrence on the news, inner-webs, certain phone calls, etc etc... ...I am glad that you're back though, home-skillet!...Peace be with you........Always...... 4951

I've never been one to have my phone glued to me. It drives my family crazy. Now that I have Taylor, I've been better about checking in. But I still manage to miss a lot of phone calls. 4951
