I really miss my flip phone. The thing I miss the most? My flip phone would hold a charge for 2 days. My smart phone? Will not even hold a charge for a day! True story.<br />One reason, though, is because I'm always ON it, looking at my blog, reading other people's blogs, and uploading sill pictures to social media. It's fun, but I do always have to charge it, which is annoying. And it worries me when the power out, because we don't have a landline either.<br />Flip phones forever!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170306739961711124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-88401856052077137722014-07-20T05:51:32.713-06:002014-07-20T05:51:32.713-06:00My wife and I are probably the only persons in the...My wife and I are probably the only persons in the U.S. that still have flip phones from the early 2000's.<br /><br />We don't use apps. We don't text. We don't sent pictures.<br /><br />In fact, I daresay that my wife is one step ahead of me in the Luddite department as she actually uses a tablet to play her games and (gasp!) go on Facebook.<br /><br /><a href="http://gbmjrflashy.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Father Nature's Corner</a>G.

We buy minutes, probably spend $100-$200 per year, and no monthly fees. If he is out of town he takes it along, and vice versa when I am out of town, just so we can stay in touch with one another. We are simply not heavy phone users and it pisses us off the the nth degree when we see our roadways filled with people talking on their phones as they drive and we see them swerve across center lines etc. I have very strong feelings about cell phones in vehicles so will just shut my mouth before I get in trouble.....<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-61692242945797846262014-07-18T13:00:12.102-06:002014-07-18T13:00:12.102-06:00I can hear you laughing about me charging my phone...I can hear you laughing about me charging my phone every night.

Although I've had a cell phone and no land line for years now, I just finally transitioned from the flip phone to a smart phone after years of being teased. However I'm still having difficulty understanding why people are glued to their phones.

No internet, no texting, no complicated plans...nothing zip zero. Just a simple phone in case of emergency, and one that is hardly ever used. And only a handful of people have the number in case of emergency. It's a dinosaur level phone. But I'm okay with that. I got pulled into the dark side just a little bit (did it when I was a single mom and was concerned about safety stuff when I was out alone with the kids), but I refuse to go further! Refuse, damn it! LOL...<br /><br />I had a good laugh with the photos! I especially liked the flip phone with rotary dial.
