I guess you didn't read where people did stop. In fact 50 people stopped. It was really quite a job to sit there & watching for people to stop & tell them we didn't need a phone, so as they didn't block traffic for others trying to get off the ramp on the highway. Yes the reason we all supposedly have a cell phone is so we can call for help when we need it. But if 99% of the rest of the world has it, you don't, you can use theirs. And all in all the phone didn't do any good. I could call and no tow truck person could come as there were so many calls in ahead of me. Until a good Samaratan stopped and insisted on changing my tire so my kids & I didn't have to continue sitting ont he side of the road. REally all those cell phones didn't do a DARN thing.

Do I still have a phone. Yes I do. Do I need one? No.

So you admit you can't explain to me why your particular home is needed when a cardboard box will do?

Even more ways to cut costs without eliminating cable:


1) Pay off credit cards every month.

I read it and I think it is great that so many people were willing to give you a hand. I would not expect that though and that is why we have had cellphones for the last couple of years.

Often, that person could easily do without that something.


Or it might even be GOOD for them if they went without it for a while, lol.

A cardboard box is illegal? Maybe you should go tell all the homeless people who live in one that!

Chances are pretty good that they already know.
