The Isolated Blurt Thread XVII : Squish Me Like You Mean It!

[Wings]

I don't understand why you would travel without your phone? Like... people need to get up with you. Y'all are adults, you have to have responsibilities. I've not left the house without a phone since I was old enough to leave the house because it was understood that somebody would need to get up with me.

Like I just... feel like that's kind of more irresponsible than admirable. Like I'm glad you're happy but I hope there's not a horrible accident that you need to know about or something.

Also the real reason I popped back on here is because my gf hates the SHIT out of RENT and is mad that I suggested it. This is a great fucking night for Candi.

I think Rainy just went to eat without her phone to stare at.

I’m not the correct person to have a rebuttal for you, my phone is pretty much surgically attached to my hand these last few years. I need it to be as good at my job as I am.

However, on an almost unrelated note, I have been known to forget my phone at home lately when I go shopping or run errands and that’s just plain stupid because all my coupons and lists are on it. Maybe my brain just likes me to forget it so I don’t have to stress about the emails coming in.

I am a sibling's care giver and I have elderly parents, so I always carry my cell phone. I often have the ringer off so only "favorites" ring through.
Also my health can change in a moment, so I need the phone for me too sometimes.

I also never have less than a 1/4 tank of gas in my car, and have a go pack by the door.

all good people hate RENT.

 

[Noor]

You have to be in the right frame of mind for RENT.

Made a death bed promise a couple weeks ago. This should be different.
So far not following through, but it's early days.

Have you seduced yourself, yet?

I did. And since I'm having a difficult time sleeping, I did it again.

Traveling has taught me how to be comfortable being alone. It’s also given me a new skill set in making friends but I almost always have my phone and usually a tablet. You’re a rockstar for doing it sans those crutches, Rainy.

I'm a severe introvert with social anxiety. I wanted to leave myself open to possible conversation, which is a huge trigger for me. Usually I have a book with me! I did have a couple exchanges with a couple at the next table. Not life changing but I needed to push myself.

I got a drink and dinner sans phone. I wouldn't travel without a phone but taking breaks are okay.

In my version of events, I had the lamb.

I think she should have said go bag to give the post a less infirmed, secret operative action feel.

Who are you to argue when your brain does not want to sleep?

not the brain, but its the non stop coughing

been non stop coughing for 6 months now

Fuck all that stupid shit. Nobody ever NEEDS to 'get up with' whatever the fuck that ignorant gang-banger ghetto speak means.

People are ALL assholes and need to learn to leave each other the fuck alone.

Too damn long.

May you snore like a lumberjack in 2019!

It’s nothing. Ignore it.

Brava!

Not very long ago people went everywhere without a phone and the world did just fine. Not one single thing has changed that requires we have phones on us. Somebody sold us an electronic gadget and said now we can't live without it. Society as a whole is really fucking stupid sometimes.

 

[adrina]

Cinnamon roll, friend tatoes and bacon... I'll go light for dinner.



Rainy you should be proud of yourself.

 

[von_Bismarck]

I did. And since I'm having a difficult time sleeping, I did it again.

Fabulous.

 

[dolf]

I never had a cell until I was pregnant, because the ex was freaking out. I didn't worry about keeping mine on me until the kids were old enough to be where I wasn't.
But, yeah, unless you have dependants who might need rescuing in a crisis, being constantly on call just isn't needed. Very few things are that urgent.

Ugh. Nothing in the tests? Have they done allergy testing?

Bring back Polio!

we have moved toward allergies now that we ruled out the gerd and post nasal drip

Seeing that they ruled the nasty stuff out, I would guess an allergy. Feel better!

gerd?
