Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

The iPhone is pretty bad, but I wonder if that's mitigated by the fact that I hardly ever use it as a phone?

From what I've read so far over there, yes. They recommend using a headset or texting, so that the phone's not an inch away from your skull when it's transmitting.

Yay! I needed something new to fret fruitlessly about!

Sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh good lord. That made me think about my whole phone situation, and I realized that I've been texting more than I thought and paying more than I thought! Now I have a plan.

I want to get an android phone when my contract comes up. Anyone know much about those?

I love my Android G1. I can use it as a compass! I can check in for flights! I can sync multiple email accounts, use Google Maps to find directions and restaurants near me, surf the internets, add things to my Netflix queue, find movie times... but I admit that I'm biased.

My loathing for using my cellphone may just pay off, though I do have the thing activated and at my hip all through the workday.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Good to know about the G1.

Zen, that's my exact problem with watches (except digital, which I still think are a pretty neat idea).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My FaceBook status updates end up boring because I have to run them through the work-filter and the mom-filter.

I know! And mine are worse because there's also the conservative Christians who are my donors filter.

So pretty much I just post about food. Which I know is lame, but inoffensive.

I am ready for a new cellphone. Plus, my kiddoes have started texting me, so I need something better for that. Plus, my phone cost $5 over five years ago. So I'm probably a little behind technologically.

Hee.

My phone is on the safest list but now I'm worried about the boyfriend and his iPhone! He's on it all day on conference calls. I think he uses a headset though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Love it Lisah!

Coming out of a long writing snap is always like just waking up after being asleep for a few months. Unanswered emails, my apartment is a total wreck and needs a top to bottom cleaning, and I'm a month late for a dental cleaning.

I don't think I actually have any work people friended on FB, but I try to keep in mind that anything I post has the (minuscule) potential to end up on Gawker or ValleyWag.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

This is why I don't have work people friended on FB. Boundaries!

My BB is on the worst list, but I use headphones any time I'm on it for long (conference calls, etc.) so I hope I'm okay.
