Do you depend totally on your cell phone, or is it just for emergencies?  my-wing

I haven't really join the connected generation.  I own a cell phone, but it's always in my handbag.  Note to my children:  when I'm in the house, my handbag is next to my desk.  I do not have my cell phone in the kitchen or the laundry room or the backyard.  So when you send me a text message that says "What time is dinner?" I may not get it until after you leave for school the next morning!

For the most part, the reason I own a cell phone at all is in case of an emergency--someone else's emergency.  I like the security of knowing that if I am running errands (when am I not running errands?) and one of my kids gets sick or hurt at school, I can be reached immediately.

However, sometimes Murphy's Law of Cell Phones comes into play.  This morning, before I pulled out of the driveway on my way to the library, I remembered to turn my cell phone on.  I didn't silence it at the library; I didn't see the need.  No one ever calls me.

Of course, the ringer was set to top volume, and of course the phone rang just as I handed my card to the librarian so I could check out my books.  No, it wasn't the school; it was a friend who'd called me at home, but I wasn't there to answer.  Note to my friends:  I share minutes with my children.  If it's not an emergency, it's best to call me at home.
