1. When you get heavy rains, do you get floods in your home or on your street?

2. What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

3. Do you light candles at home and what is your favorite scent?

I wonder sometimes why there are very few people on this board who will ever stand behind their original statements.

This entire discussion is hilarious when you consider that you once said that you were with your husband all of the time when trying to make another poster feel bad because her husband was busy outside of family obligations.

Where did I saw I was contacting people on my phone for those things?  I use my phone for more than contacting people, do you not know the capibility of smart phones?

So what do you do on your smartphone regarding the things you mentioned?

For a variety of reasons, I have things for them on my calendar and they have things of ours on theirs.  We do a lot of things together and there are others things we keep each other informed about.

<p><span style="font-size:13px; text-align:left">. Do you honestly not understand the concepts of exaggeration, hyperbole, metaphor, and figures of speech?  When you say people are on their phone "all the time."  You do not mean "all the time."  Certainly they put down the phone to go to the bathroom, eat, have sex, whatever.  When I say I am on the phone "every hour," it means around the clock.  This morning I have used my phone as a timer, to check the layout of squares on the quilt I am making, to play here and on Facebook, and to check my calendar and email.  That's between 5 and 7 am.  Tomorrow I might not use the phone until 6 am.  But I use it alm through the day, more or less constantly, some says more than others.</span></p><p style="text-align:left"><strong><span style="font-size:x-small"><span>I am just going by what you said.

.  I can't believe you're really that dumb, so in assuming you are just trying to be argumentative.  Mine is a minority opinion, though.

Gotcha. I can see making plans but don't get why you would inform anyone else about your personal calendar and having them involved in it on a regular basis.

Every hour except to sleep doesn't meant the same thing as all the time, if one is taking the words literally.  Do you not understand that?

Many people are leashed to their phones for work. There's a shift in the workplace that comes with technology. Things move fast and prompt responses are expected.

My husband takes his laptop bag to the campground. He takes it with him to the golf course. Mostly, it's left in the car, but once in a while he'll get an emergency text/call and have to stop in the middle of whatever we're doing to fix it. It's not as though he's been told outright that he must be a slave to his laptop and phone, but making sure that the workplace can get a hold of him constantly hasn't hurt his position with the company, either.

No, I am not being dumb. Stop backpedaling. Do you use your phone to go on ivillage? And do you NOT have teens or at least a teen and young adult right now who has a phone?

Is there some particular reason why you SHOULD get it?  I mean, if you aren't one of the people sharing calendars, what difference does it make if you don't understand why they do it?

I know that you don't understand, given the history you have posted here with your family, that doesn't surprise me a bit.  I'm involved personally with my family on a regular basis.
