I donтАЩt have a smart phone eitherтАжonly got a cell ph years back to use while traveling out of state & rarely use it, but carry it with me in case of emergencies. I have a pre-paid plan for $5 month & I loved my old, very small, cell with a slide-out qwerty keyboard, so I could easily do the rare text msg. Well well wellтАжwhen 5G came along I was told my old phone would not longer operate, I went into may carrier to get a new phoneтАжthey tried and tried to upsell me into a smart phone (they are WAY too big if all you want to do is make a call or send a text)тАФI kept asking will my $5 a month plan work with this phone? If not, I do not want itтАФwhy pay for something IтАЩll hardly use. Finally the guy went in the back & probably dug around at the bottom of some drawer and came out with a flip-phone. JeezтАжI hate the thingтАжthe size is right, but the features suck & I donтАЩt bother even trying to send a text because itтАЩs such a hassle type out (no qwerty on this phone). Have been searching the тАШnet for alternatives & think I have come up with one that will work w/ my flipтАЩs SIM cardтАжfingers crossed!
I can see that. I am not against smart phones or tv's it's just where I ended up on the scale of using technology. Heck, I'm typing on a computer to you right now.
Nice talking to you again Mike. It had been a while.
Drop cable?
I did in 1992. No time for trash.
Plus, I prefer to work, read, or do yard work over any time at all on TV.
I dropped tv many years ago. Don't own one. Don't miss it.
Likewise.
Yep, going on 5 years no TVтАжand happy!
I don't own a smart phone either. A flip phone works for me.

Interesting. I did not either for years because it just seemed ridiculous to spend that kind of money for a trinket.
Then, my daughter punted off her iPhone 6 to me and said I was missing all of the family texts/communication now that they had gone off to college.
So, I started using it. She sends me all kinds of stuff, so, honestly, I don't mind it really.

Very good Barbara. You are, of course, welcome to help me with my yard work as well!
:-)
Glad to!
No cable for us either. I read my news and listen to podcast. And guess what, my life is free of commercials. ЁЯШБ
We dropped cable back in 2012 when we were still in our 60s. Don't assume older people are the ones hooked on faux.
