    Most often than not a hospital will contact your emergency contact if you are in the hospital. Other than that.... they can find a way to contact anyone that needs to know.

    I just can't fathom WHY you MUST use a cell phone in a hospital. AND if you HAVE to call someone to tell them that someone is at the hospital... why can't you just step outside.

    Wonderful... so SOME people put them on vibrate.... but too many people have the volume CRANKED up with some annoying tune blaring out of the phone... is that nessecary?

    it is not hard to have respect for people around you. There is no need to be loud and boisterous... or to have your cell phone constantly ringing.... TURN IT OFF!!!!!!!!!! it's not too much to ask... I'm sure you won't stop breathing if you don't have it on lol It's not a life line... it's a bloody phone. people can wait to talk to you.
    Yeah....I agree with you Sparksy.......I think the bloody things are annoying....like little alarm clocks going off all the time.
    It's funny how people always try and shove their rights down everyones throat, by being so bloody rude to them.

    LOL I don't know about you.... but the sound I dread most is my alarm clock going off in the morning.... why would I want that sound non stop all day. HAHA

    I mean don't get me wrong. i have a cell phone. It is ALWAYS on vibrate.... I don't think I even know what my ringers sound like because I just don't ever use one. I have it on when I am away from my husband because he is my transportation and we don't have a phone at work. If he calls, he leaves me a message letting me know he will be late or what have you. But mostly I have it because we don't have a phone at the store (right now) and if something happens during my pregnancy I need to get a hold of him... again I don't drive so he is my only transportation lol. other than that.... my phone sits on my dresser and is never used. I don't take it when we go out.... I don't take it anywhere other than when I am going to be alone. I don't NEEEEEED it so why would I want it one me all the time so everyone and their brother can call me to ask what my favourite colour is... LOL they can wait till I get home to find out.

    OR they can email me... at least that is quiet




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Hehehe....yep....thats right.
    But I love the ones who have that phone glued to their ears even as they are walking along the street. One has to walk around them.....they are so far out of touch with who is in front of them that they'd walk over ya.
    But yeah....I reckon we were just so much better off without those things.
