Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My brother and SiL don't have them, either. They claim it's because coverage in Vermont sucks, but that's not actually true, based on my ability to use my phone in Vermont. They just like not being reachable 24/7. (I told them that cell phones turn OFF, but they just pooh-poohed me.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They just like not being reachable 24/7. (I told them that cell phones turn OFF, but they just pooh-poohed me.)
I also find that not answering my phone unless I'm in the mood to talk solves this problem quite nicely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not like you have to answer them. I fail to answer both my cell and home phones when I don't want to be reached. I consider myself still in control of those choices.
It's one reason I don't ever give out my personal cell number for work reasons. Different unreachability criteria.

Yep, same here.
I love my iPhone. Having the Internet right there, in my purse? Best thing ever. Not to mention texting, email, a bunch of books, movies, and music. And a camera!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hey smonster! Thanks for that "sucking at the hind titty" line. I've already put it to good use.
Heh. You're welcome.
Ahh, good to be back in my little liberal corner of the South. I like my extended family, but in small doses.
Calli, how's your BiL? And how's your ankle?
Congrats, Seska! That's terrific.

Happy belated birthday to Em, and congratulations to Seska!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just have my cell and many people can attest to me being amazingly unreachable at times. It's for my convenience, not theirs. Of course, YUsageWillTotesVary.
The only bargaining advice I have is you need to be prepared to walk away. If they can't give you the deal you're asking for, you leave
This unintentionally has gotten me great deals. Also, at times, intentionally. But you have to be honestly okay with walking away. I hate conflict but I hate being bullied more.

Anyway, it's the tannins from Camellia sinensis leaves that you want.
So, the tannins in red wine don't work?
