ann: Well, that’s why there’s voicemail. To avoid future frustration, you might just want to turn all the ringers off and check for messages at the end of the day.

Yeah, all those phones and when there were kids still living here do you think I could ever find one. I would run around the house trying to follow the ringing sound and never managed to find it before it stopped.

Prefers Her Fantasy Life: Yes, exactly. I was previewing new music on iTunes and the muzak in my ear was distracting me from my iTunes music, so I made that discovery. Otherwise, it's pretty useless to me. Anne: Technically, anyone can bake a cake. Anyone can burn a cake, too. Maybe YOU took our 4th phone! I certainly can't find it anywhere. Kim: HA! So you're the nice lady who very politely asked me to turn off my iPod (I'm a nervous flier and was listening to my relaxation music), to whom I responded, "I NEED IT ON!" Boy, I don't envy you. And I don't know how kids (or anyone) can stand being constantly connected to a phone. Don't their voices hurt? Oh, yeah. Then they just text. Jenn Thorson: Oh, get one. You may as well. And as soon as you do? You'll find WAY more than those three things where it will come in handy. (Like calling the Chinese restaurant from your car so the fried rice is ready RIGHT AWAY!) natural: Thanks for noticing my favicon! I'm rather proud of it. Thank you for your silent observation of my situation. I think I'll turn off my ringers too. Oops! Already off. 1??n??u: You ARE a little snot! I hope your cookies heal soon. That does sound rather painful. And possibly embarrassing. Heh. AND . . . this is now your official name. You're stuck with it. No way I'm deleting ANYthing. ann of the junkdrawerblogfamily: Oh, yeah, you definitely need a phone. Would the alarm monitoring people send someone over if there was no phone? Probably not. MomZombie: Further proof that man can live without phones. But just try taking away my Internet. My Semblance of Sanity: Add to that a mini-massager and back-scratcher, and I'm in. Muskrat: Oh, my god. That's my nightmare. 5 phone numbers? Does Google Voice require a headset or microphone or something? Wait, I don't even want to know. April: I like the way you think. Stabbing is definitely my first plan of action when the phone rings. WHO THE HELL IS IT? Well, we need the answering machine because if the ringer's off, how do we know who called? Oh, yeah: we don't CARE! kathcom: Right, that's why I'm gonna get rid of my bedroom phone (see also above: health hazards from wireless stuff). I think you may be on to something. Let's all get rid of our phones and see if we can just make this world a better place.

I have three phones in a one bedroom apartment, but I refuse to have one in the bedroom so I still miss calls when I’m in there. Why would I want to wake up to the sound of a phone? Besides, if someone calls in the middle of the night, it can only be bad news.

I just switched back to my answering machine because I was sick of paying extra for voicemail. No one calls me anyway…except with bad news. Maybe if I got rid of my phones nothing bad would ever happen again?

My ringer has been off on my home phone for…uh… over 2 years. I work in an office, where one of my many tasks to manage each day is the phone which rings a lot. So, by time I get home, I’m ready to stab anyone within vicinity at the sound of a ringing phone. See, it’s for my childrens safety that I leave that ringer off. My cell phone is on vibrate and I usually just ignore it anyway.

And wait. People still use answering machines?!?

I walk around with my business cell and personal cell on me all the time. I feel sorta lame doing it, but hey, I can be sorta lame sometimes.
I also have an antiquated home phone and an office phone. Just got google voice (but I haven’t taken the time to figure out how to use it). So, I have 5 phone numbers.

I am all for the JUST GIVE ME A PHONE that …
will not cut out right next to a cell tower,
one that will let me flip over to the other line without telling ME MY FREAKING KEYS ARE LOCKED,
one that can make a mean macchiato,
help me lose 50 lbs
and schedule my mani/pedi each week!

Now, THAT’s A MOM PHONE!

Funny. No matter how many phones we install in our home, they all end up missing. Eventually we just turned off the ringer to stop torturing ourselves.

The only reason that I still have a landline phone is to order movies on demand for the tv. Why I need a phone for that when I point and click the remote is beyond me.

Oh yeah, we need it for the alarm system, too. So the alarm monitoring people can call me to see if I’m still alive after I’ve been burglarized.
