Cell Phones

As part of my journey to regain my lost honor (story for another time) I keep all commitments.  I have one that I do not look forward to keeping.

Monday morning I will be making a trek into "town" to buy --------- a  dreaded old person non traceable flip phone, along with a fist full of cards !!!

Prayers and energy will be most welcome !!!

If I never post again, know that I wish for all of you to one day find your ;

Peace

You poor thing.  

If I could live life without a cell that would be lovely.  But I would need to find a new car that won't break down every 2 months.  Alas, my network no longer supports my phone (it's only 26 years old!) so I will have to buy one of these so called smart gizmos soon.  I can relate to your pain.  

Sending good thoughts your way.  

Flip phones are the best kind of phones. When you own one, you will happily find that you are not one of the disconnected people in society that cannot even go to a simple ball game or dinner without scrolling through their phone. I would not buy anything else. God speed on your trek!  

I didn't know we can still get flip phones.  I didn't see any in the shops when I looked.

But if I can find one, that would be great.

My present I phone 6 is dying.  The only functions that work on it are sending/receiving calls and voicemail.   I really can’t see spending a couple hundred dollars to get a free phone.

I've just returned from my trip into the "city" and it wasn't as bad as I feared it may have been.  I now have a Tracfone with a single month service card.

Lady Raven, there were many, many flip phones to choose from at this W Mart store.  Not sure about up North, but I would think they should be sold everywhere in this day and time.

John, this phone and a monthly card were less than $40.00.  So if you don't need all the bells and do-dads of a smart phone check out flips as a replacement.

I will learn the buttons to use to answer and turn this thing off, everything else, like remove mail and text, I can ask someone to help with that.  I still don't want a phone as I've lived without one for the last 6 or 7 months.  It's just me now as my mother passed away last year and I've refused all medical treatments.  I do have 4 or 5 good friends, that are my true family that check in on me and offer rides to the store when needed.  I got the phone for them.

Looking at this thingy upon the kitchen table I feel a little ---------- sullied  Not sure if that is the right word.  I hope I don't regret getting this phone, if it becomes too much for me to handle, I can always take it to the rifle range and use it as a target !!!

Thanks for the update.

I shall attempt the box stores and see what they have.  Good idea.

A story from an acquaintance of mine.

They found her brother dead on the floor... after several days of hot weather.

The postman noticed the mail he delivered was piling up, and peeked through the slot.

The postman was not the sort who was used to dealing with dead bodies and was somewhat emotionally distraught by the experience.

If texting a friend once in the morning and once in the evening will protect them from experiencing a 4 day old body in a heat wave, I hope that's a kindness you can extend to them. Yes, you're doing this for them, not you. I get that.

I had a flip phone for years, and went back to a flip phone a couple years ago. I was wasting 2-3 hours a day on the stupid thing, which actually less than the average time a person spends on their phone. But I thought to myself......what could I do with an extra 2-3 hours a day, every day? I love it and won't go back to a smart phone.
