I'm tempted to buy one, just to have it. I miss it. I'm still resisting getting a Smart Phone, Joanne. Mine is your simple flap phone for calls and texting, which I hate doing and mess up every time.

I use it occasionally - mostly family phone me on it.<br /><br />When my mum first got a mobile phone, she used to phone me, leave a message such as 'Call me', and then turn it off. If you don't do that, you're 100 times better at this modern stuff than she is :-)Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379826084010321238.post-8897054742572617782015-06-08T12:48:11.459-05:002015-06-08T12:48:11.459-05:00Ray likes his extra sportsRay likes his extra sportsJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604494404874408870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379826084010321238.post-158222700003291262015-06-08T12:47:22.883-05:002015-06-08T12:47:22.883-05:00I am still able to buy groceries without having to...I am still able to buy groceries without having to call and discuss every item.
