Corner view " Cell phone madness"


Dilbert cartoon

For most of this year it has been cell phone madness in our house. Every night Mark is on his phone for hours engaged in one or more conference-calls. I sometimes feel I have to call him to get some attention. ;)
So.....I really think they should give him a cell phone implant as a Christmas gift!



I have a cell phone but never use it, I´m more old school and love the old ones.
But there are times I do like cell phones and that is when Mark is abroad.
Right now he´s for two weeks in Manilla and I miss him. Hope he calls me soon. Would love a bit of cell phone madness right now!



Markus, I luv and miss you!

If you want to see more cell phone madness, make sure you visit Jane of Spain Daily, she´s the one who started this all! Look in her sidebar for the other participants.

PS I´m having trouble to comment on some blogs. After days of not being on the computer and wanting to check in on all the things I´ve missed! Well...at least I can read all your posts but I just can´t leave you a comment. Am I the only one having this problem? Sigh!
I blame the kitty....she always jumps on my laptop as soon as I leave it alone for a minute. I need a big fence for my laptop...it´s on my Christmas wish list already. ;)

  2. Ha! Funny but sad, that cartoon...

    I like to be able to text Ben when he's away - that way I don't disturb him if he's in a meeting or driving, but he can get back to me when he's got time. That's one good feature of cell phones.

  3. OMG..dat zeg ik nou ook altijd tegen mijn schoonouders en mams, dat mijn hubby maar beter een implant kan nemen, want die verdraaide blackberry van hem houdt never nooit op. Ik kan dat ding soms echt het raam uit gooien..ppffff. En ik daarintegen doe een half jaar over een 20 euro prepaidcard. Maaaaaaaar als ik het echt zat ben, dan zet hij zijn phone zacht,
    - ja ZACHT niet uit - en haalt later alles weer in. Workaholic of zo heet dat toch?? -lol-
    Maw, ik snap waar je het over hebt, XXX, Carmie.

  12. Zelf ben ik niet zo'n veelbeller, maar als manlief een paar dagen weg is bellen we wel veel! Ik durf het bijna niet te zeggen maar hij is gelukkig bijna altijd thuis! Groeten, Corine(THUIS)

  19. I didn't get a cell phone until I was well into my 30's and my husband laughs at me all the time because my phone charge always goes out because I use it so little that I always forget to plug back in.

    I love old phones too!

  20. Hi Jeanette! How are you? I can see you've been having a nice time in your country! You are fortunate, living in Europe, where in a couple of hours you can reach another country!
    Love the pictures of your CV, the heart and the white table.
    I skipped CV this week...It happens that I do not like phone, including the traditional one! My cell most of the time is with no credit or off, or I left it at home or the charge is out...And when I am on the bus or train, I just put it off because if somebody calls, it embarrass me!
    Have a nice weekend
    hugs

  21. that comic is perfect! Have you seen people eating at restaurants and all they do is text. They don't even talk to each other! I think the cell phone companies are working on a cell phone transplant! xo Kyndale

  24. Beautiful post and such a funny cartoon at the start. The CV's start to become like 'on-line journals' giving so many thoughtful views on the week's topic. I enjoy the depth of feeling and love that you brought to the often 'cool' subject of cell phones!
    Nice to 'see' you,
