It's great to have the image of a friend to connect with when we think of New York.<br />I agree that texting takes a long time, when you can just wait to get home and type an email or FB message. I don't use mine for that either, but it's nice to know the kids have theirs if I need to call them.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-84681000282105204672014-07-09T10:08:34.842+10:002014-07-09T10:08:34.842+10:00I still carry a cell phone that is just for phone ...I still carry a cell phone that is just for phone calls. It can get texts, but it's too hard to send messages back, so I don't use it for that. It drives some of my friends crazy, but when I'm out and about I use my phone for emergencies only. That's how I unplug. :o)<br /><br />And of course, I save my most important blog reading for when I really have time to focus and comment on it. ;o)<br /><br />Peace and Laughter!jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-8435301352691320252014-07-08T18:01:25.184+10:002014-07-08T18:01:25.184+10:00Hi Lesley,

But as you suggest here, if you switch it on again first thing in the morning, they would surely be quick to contact you if necessary.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-60615308134004075252014-07-08T17:58:31.372+10:002014-07-08T17:58:31.372+10:00Hi Jenny,

A very good and helpful thing, but we may get burned if we are not careful. Thanks :)Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131907587674600113.post-43013640063337611852014-07-08T11:44:14.862+10:002014-07-08T11:44:14.862+10:00All of the above is very true Paula.

For quite some time now I have felt the need to leave my phone on 24/7 in case the nursing homes need to contact me regarding my elderly mother or my aunt. Talk about an exaggerated sense of responsibility (I have power of attorney, medical poa and guardianship). I don't think the nursing homes have ever contacted me until a reasonable hour of the morning if anything has happened overnight so it doesn't achieve anything to leave the mobile on except loss of sleep when somebody calls my number by mistake. Making mental note - turn off mobile before turning off light unless using for alarm clock.
