Cell phones

[Pookie]

I agree gregsayer. I have the FollowMee app for my phone so my wife knows where I am at when I fish alone, which is most of the time. I feel safer for it, as well as her.

I'll be danged if I am going to let anyone put a GPS on me for any reason.

I dove in our pool back in September. Left my phone in my pocket. Ruined ! One of the best changes I've had in a awhile. I may wish in the future I had one. But man its so much better. If someone wants to talk, and its important the'll find you.

it's very rude to use one in a restaurant. if I get a call while in one I just say i'm eating hang up. I will not disturb other people while they are eating.

So you just sit there the whole time and never talk to the other people at your table, same thing as talking on the phone ifyour worried about disturbing other people

In my state it's against the law to use a cell phone while driving unless it's hands free. So I don't do it. I'm 66 years old and disabled, so when I go fishing alone I always call my wife and let her know everything is cool. I tell her what the water is like, what the wind is like, and what the boat traffic is like. That's it. Then when the boat is loaded back on the trailer and I'm ready to leave the lake, I call her and let her know I'm on the way home.

My cell is so old it only sends flashing light and smoke signals. It is for me to use when I want to use it. I don't answer calls that are not in my cell phone and I like it
that way. I choose my conversations and the folks I want to talk to and I do it at my convenience. I've never held up traffic or swerved over the line while driving
cause I don't use my cell phone while driving. I don't text, tweet, twitter or allow others to divert my attention from the task of dodging all the drivers that do. I'll toot
my horn if you restrict the flow of traffic too. One fingered salutes are not returned because I'm watching your door to see if your coming out of your vehicle. Just call
me cautious and ready. Everyone has a cell phone for personal reasons, but just keep your reasons from interfering with me, my family and our safety.

There probably already is, you just don't know it.

[olduckhunter]

Why answer at all then? Mine is on vibrate 98% of the time.

because i'm very hard of hearing and the ringer has to be set loud and to keep ringing would disturb others.

Don't let him fool you. Oldduckhunter is just running in stealth mode. He can hear a bass snatching a crawdad in spring river from his easy chair.
