In response to "My mobile phone"

My husband takes his phone everywhere. He gets so frustrated with me because I always keep my phone in vibrate mode and if I'm not near it I don't hear it. I use my phone more for pictures than actual phone calls. My Iphone takes incredible pictures and a lot easier to carry with me than my Nikon.
Like your hubby when I am out walking I do carry my phone so they can find me if needed. This growing old isn't what I was led to believe.

In response to "Tricky March "

I agree it is a broad sweep. I believe every day is an opportunity.

In response to "First TV"

It's funny. I don't remember TV playing a big part in my life growing up. After all, I spent most of the day (when not at school) outside playing with friends.

I do remember we had a black and white TV (I was hooked on Batman) back in the 60's. I can't recall when we got a color TV. Fast forward to 2025--my wife and I watch a 98" TV.

Oh, and that $1000 TV in 1954 is the equivalent to almost $12,000 today. What a TV you could buy for $12,000.

In response to "Tricky March "

That's a very good point - it makes no sense to single out one month. I'm guessing she was referring to those parts of the world where March represents the beginning of Spring rather than Autumn, new beginnings etc., but even then, it's a bit of a sweeping statement.

Nothing ever goes truly to plan does it? - well said!

In response to "First TV"

I remember that toothpaste but I don't remember the advertisement.

Our tv was also in a huge cabinet with a small screen and the black and white was grainy too.

In response to "Meditation "

Glad that you started with Yoga, and breathing exercises always help. And yes, it's true, as you said, "Today is all we have."

In response to "Easter tradition "

I bought my granddaughter an organizer for her crochet hooks instead of candy this year. Last year I gave her art supplies. My daughter handles the candy in our home. My other grandchildren when they were younger, I sent them things they liked to do. I'm not the candy supplier either.
I like the idea of pajamas, maybe next year that's what I'll get her new spring nightgowns.

In response to "Jeans"

I'm finding it very challenging after my knee surgery. Jeans that I used to wear don't have enough stretch around the knee (it's still swelling) and I don't want to buy new jeans. Even sweat pants are too narrow right now around the knee. Capris' hit right above the knee but smack dab in the middle of the swelling. I hate wearing shorts so I'm wearing knit pajama pants when I go out and while I'm home in a nightgown. The nerve spasms are still an issue.

I agree with you about the cut, I hate jeans that when I sit my butt crack shows so the rise is a huge deal which takes online shopping off the table for me.

In response to "Story Time"

Nice entry!
"Each story had a purpose." Not only in Australia, either. I tend to think all stories have a purpose, even if some want to scare us.

My mobile phone

On this day in 1973 the first handheld mobile telephone call was made by an employee of Motorola, who called AT&T's Bell Laboratories. How important is a cell-phone to you? Do you still have a landline phone (telephone wired into your home)? Do you use your phone for more than making phone calls like playing games, taking pictures etc.?

We no longer have a land line and rely completely for communication on our cell phones.
We, my husband and I each have a phone although my husband is almost a Luddite regarding the use of his. I’m always reminding him to take the phone with him especially since his health and balance aren’t always totally reliable. I have an app which tells me where he is. He takes the dog each morning through the Australian bushland near our home. I always worry he might fall or trip so knowing his whereabouts gives me peace of mind.
I have my credit card on my phone and use it for almost all my purchases. It’s simply a tap and go up to a hundred dollar sale without having to use a PIN. So if I have my phone I don’t need to carry money. My phone is synced to my IPad on which I do my online banking,so I’d be lost without my phone.
I receive FaceTime messaging from my family, some who live thousands of kilometres from us. I was able to chat to my brother in the UK in hospital after his stroke recently on my phone.
I listen to podcasts, music and the local radio station. I borrow library books and either read them on my phone or iPad. I use it for my mail, messaging and taking photos. I can watch movies, and stream television stations using apps, and I do all my writing for WdC on my iPad. In fact my phone is my everything.
