How?   Block it to where they can't even access your voicemail ?    

I don't care what year it is now. I was born in the '60s and started smoking weed in the 70's.   So anyone who acts shocked that I'm not 100% up to speed on techy mobile phone use is just being purposely annoying.   😂

Yeah.  Block the phone.   I’m older than you.

Has anyone besides me ever thought about how screwed you'd be if you were many miles from home and your smart phone decided to blink out ?   

Do you have numbers memorized or written down on something in your wallet?   I don't.   And even if I did..... where's pay phone?

Can you even buy paper Maps anymore?  Where?    

All this reliance on mobile devices is nerve wracking.   It's gonna go bad, you know it is.....and then what?

Yeah I’ve thought about it and goes along with the doomsday deals.  I’ve even watched some of the doomsday prepper YouTube videos.   If you really want to be prepared it’s a lot of work.  I guess we should at least write down a few numbers and put them in our trucks.   I’ve even thought of buying a small generator for the house.

We bought one. Probably able to cover our freezer and fridge as well as one or two other items.

We have a couple small solar chargers just in case. When I am out fishing or hunting don't have the coverage and am without a phone anyways. So I don't try to rely on it.

The last time I was at Taney I get a text message telling me that my high speed data quota had been exceeded.  Next thing I know my mobile device is nearly worthless.    Couldn't even watch a Lilley's One Cast or see the SWPA generation schedule.

Asked the dude at the gas station if they had any maps, and he looked at me like I had just farted or something.  No, no "maps".     

So I call sugarbritches and tell her to contact AT&T and pay whatever it takes to restore my crap.   Seems as though the kid used all our data up on the school bus..... whatever.     Finally after a 90.00 payment I was able to use my mapping and stuff so I could find my way around, and get a heads-up on the generation schedule.  

WTH have we done?     This is BS !

all Wrench had to do was call me.
