I finally relented this past fall and got a cell phone. YD insisted that I carry one for emergencies, as my health is not the greatest. I still enjoy getting out in the country and the area bush, whether it be for hunting or taking pictures. It is only used it for sending or receiving calls if there is some importance to them, not texting or emails(I refuse to learn how). Only friends have the number. Maybe I am too much "old school", but over the years I have found that they are not nearly as necessary as most people believe, unless it is business related. When I see my son, dil and their kids sitting in the same room texting each other, rather than carrying on any meaningful interpersonal dialogue. While I keep my opinion to myself, my patience runs extremely thin.
