Cell

I got a letter in the mail yesterday from my cell phone provider about how loyal I've been and here's an offer for a Fancy Upgrade. So I made that call, i said right off the hop, i want a simple phone where I can call and maybe send a few texts, I don't want to search the internet on my phone that's what i do here in the comforts of my own home. The only way i would get a fancy phone is If i had my own business, Which i don't, if my work provided it. or like some people I know are always on the road and it's the best way for him not to feel sheltered. Do you know what p[hone i do miss though, the old school plug in ones that you plug into your lighter in the car, or the huge ones that are 3 times the size of a block of cheese, those were awesome. I went with the basic model, I went to pick one up today and she didn't have any in stock. her only 1 she had sold yesterday, which made me feel good in a strange way because I'm not the only one that is buying into the fancy phones.
I'm getting better at questioning people when they get these fancy phones. it's usually me asking What would you need that for? but it's a losing battle for me because it's happening all around me, there popping up everywhere so there's no sense in fighting it and just except that this is going to happen. I'm already planning the day my son asked me if he can get a cell. I have already let him know that both his mother and i didn't get cells until we were in our twenties so you'll have to wait til you get a job, or your license where you will only use it for emergency purposes.we will also have an extra one around for when they go out with friends and he needs a ride home or just a call saying hey I'm staying at Charlie's tonight.
The price is what gets me some of the people tell me what there paying for a month, that's 1 of the reason's I'm down grading so i can put my money other places like grocery's. I also understand that there cell maybe there only phone.
I don't think it's right for everyone to have a cell phone, It can get used in some bad a sometimes stupid ways. my Children will have to prove to us that they are responsible enough to make good decisions while using the phone, or anything really.
