    We have made ourselves slaves to our devices, haven't we?

      S.J.Qualls; not me, I'm not one of those who walk around constantly glued to my phone.

    How true it is. I turn mine off so it can't shout at me.

      Elephant's Child; I don't turn mine off, but I often forget to take it with me. It lives in the corner of the couch under a cushion.

      Merle; flat is no good, you need to keep it charged in case you need it. You never know when an emergency will arise.
      Of course, me with my phone at home on the couch while I'm out, wouldn't be any good in an emergency either (*~*)

    I don't own a SmartPhone or a mobile phone of any description. I've no need nor want for one.

    My landline phone is smart enough for me; and it's enough for me. I'm not one who uses my phone a lot. There are oft times when it rings I don't answer it...if the moods suits.

    I've been thinking, though, if I want to fit in with the "In Crowd", I might start taking one of my remote controls out with me when I go shopping...and pretend! ;)

    I hope you had a lovely birthday yesterday, River. :)

      Lee; I had a lovely day yesterday, even the weather was good. Today's weather is just about perfect. A remote to pretend to fit in? Nah! Stand alone and be proud to be different.

    I am so glad we don't own one of those. We do have a small mobile which is only used for emergency purposes should we be out and something goes awry or Phil takes it with him so I can contact him or he can ring me to let me know where he is or if he is on his way home. That, for us, is sufficient.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
