what do you do with your cell phone?
Return to Discussionsthese days most folks seemed to always have their cell phones on them , clipped to their belt or in their pocket. what do you do with your cell phone when around home when there is no belt or pocket? Just curious. I try to keep mine near me by putting it in certain spots that I know where to look for it. There is a specific place in each room that is my mentally designated cell phone spot so that this over 50 brain can find it when i move on to the next area.
Shedding your clothes to live naked gives a great feeling of freedom - but the freedom does not become complete until you shed your cell phone as well ...
Very true, but unfortunately, because of this I rarely get completely naked (I also wear socks because of the cold floor tiles)
I am with others...leave it off and stored away for MY use......It really looks like so many have taken up a new religion...that I call "praying to the cell phone gods"...can see them everywhere...heads bent over as in prayer...as if their lives could not be complete without constant attention......

Yes ... most folks always seem to have their cell phones on them
all day long. We are no different, when away from home. We keep ours
"handy" but we're not attached to them nor do we have our faces
glued to the screen. They are nice to have if you have elderly
parents and grandkids. Their emergency needs far outweigh any anti
cell phone critics comments. Texting is not something we do often
but a simple ... "can you talk right now?" text is better than a
phone call at the wrong time. I refuse to get into a texting
conversation with anyone. I just text them ... "call me!" A 10
minute phone conversation would have taken me 2 hours of texting!
:D
While at home, our cell phones are on the kitchen desk. The
most important people in our life know that if we don't answer
ourcell phones, we may still be home and they'll call the
landline. If we are outside for any reason, it's a toss up
... they may be out there with us or remain on the desk. While at
the club, a beach or resort, they are with us in a bag with the
volume down. If they ring while we're at a nude venue, we answer
and leave the area. I'm not worried one bit about someone
complaining about me having a cell phone on the pool deck or in the
rec area of a nude venue ... I leave the area to have a private
phone conversation with the other person and don't want to share
that with everyone.

At home I slide it in between my butt cheeks and train myself to hold it there so my thighs get fit and toned. Its always within reach!
Hahaha...no, actually, our home isn't that big so I/we can lay it in a central location and we'll be able to hear any ringing, beeps or tones.
If we were at the club on a day trip or camping we would simply carry the phone around and then slip it under a towel when swimming or playing water volleyball. Heading for the shower we'd just leave it at the campsite and take a chance.
I am of an age where I can remember when we were not always connected. My parents had the same kitchen dial phone for like 40 years and not even an answering machine. If my father dropped any of the three of us off at the movies he told us to call from a pay phone, let it ring two times and hang up. That was the signal to pick us up and we saved the dime on a call. If it rang three times he would answer it. In fact, here's a shocker, I know people who didn't answer the phone every time if they were say, outside and knew they couldn't get back in before the caller hung up. If it was important they would call back.
At home the phones are often left on a worktop in the kitchen or somewhere similar. At the beach they're usually off, the one we go to most often has no reception unless you go right out on a point at low tide, so its a waste of time having them on.
I'm definitely in the group who like to get away from them. Life went on before mobile phones became almost ubiquitous, even after they first appeared who'd want to carry those bricks that were claimed to be portable around all day. I'm not a technophobe, I've spent a lot of time working in IT but I do like to get away from things, the old landline answerphone worked OK, leaving a message on the mobile works just as well. There are times when I'm clothed and don't want to be disturbed too, the phone gets switched off then, I don't always want calls( at the cinema, restaurant etc, nor do I want to provide my own personal tracking device for whoever wants to know exactly where I am and what I'm doing. I'm don't just mean spooks, I don't need adverts fired at my phone because I was tracked on CCTV and mobile sensors looking at certain goods in a shop, its nice to provide a few blanks for someone to 'worry' about what I was doing for those couple of hours!!
When I'm relaxing at home I'm generally nude so if the phone is in its usual place I know where it is. When out and about I tend to answer it most of the time, if I'm doing activities like the examples above I make sure its off, it didn't come with an umbilical cord, I don't need it on all of the time. Socialising, nudist or otherwise, I tend to switch it off or lets most calls go to answerphone. I didn't visit someone to spend an hour talking to somebody else on the phone, that's a bit like queue jumping.
what do you do with your cell phone?
I leave it at home. Honestly, unless you're a doctor on call, do you really need a phone on the beach? Is it really that much of a sin to be unreachable for a few hours or an afternoon?
