Good plan! <BR/>I no longer keep a phone in my bedroom because I learned that 8am in when doctors offices like to call to remind you of an appointment, but only on the days you get to sleep in, ha ha.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328727592749751497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007858033104457650.post-91431496281165901512009-02-11T14:59:00.000-08:002009-02-11T14:59:00.000-08:00The caller ID feature is probably the best thing s...The caller ID feature is probably the best thing since sliced bread....seriously.

And I still struggle with it some times. Just today, I was giving my daughter a bath and helping her change the color of her doll when the phone rang. I jumped up, dropped the doll in and said "I'll be back" My hands were wet and of course there was no towel in the bathroom (b/c girlie is always taking it off the hook). So with soaking hands and me spinning in one spot trying to decide where the closet towel is/gotta answer the phone/no I don't/Aack I just plopped back down and starting playing again. Sometimes I remember that I can call htem back and other times I look the exorcist spinning in one spot trying to decide what to do! :-) Thanks for the post. <BR/>~Anna SophiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215216912380107138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007858033104457650.post-68066416464545065622009-02-11T12:04:00.000-08:002009-02-11T12:04:00.000-08:00Jeff is so good like that.

I figure if they really need to talk to me they'll leave a message. I only answer the phone if it's someone I know. <BR/>Since we put our phone # on the 'don't call' national registery list several months ago we rarely get calls from people we don't know. <BR/><BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807721575596262434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007858033104457650.post-37450125442000567382009-02-11T09:36:00.000-08:002009-02-11T09:36:00.000-08:00I have the phone thing down....it's the computer I...I have the phone thing down....it's the computer I am having issues with....I.AM.WALKING.AWAY!

I homeschool, so do most of my friends, so we all know not to call during that time. And if we really need something, to leave a message. Caller ID is another great friend! :)Erica Shurterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228450494395345838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007858033104457650.post-44636195848018184612009-02-11T06:56:00.000-08:002009-02-11T06:56:00.000-08:00I do the same thing.

Especially right now we are getting a TON of sales calls (must be the economy) so most times I don't bother to even look at caller i.d. When I want to talk to someone I look at whos called. I think we actually just need to go back to only cell phones.Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790243765341043864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8007858033104457650.post-61321676348116978042009-02-11T05:53:00.000-08:002009-02-11T05:53:00.000-08:00I do that too.

I've always said "where's the law stating you MUST answer a ringing phone?" If I'm busy or in a foul mood (Which, ahem, rarely ever happens of course.) I'm not going to be a good conversationalist anyway. <BR/>Have a great day!<BR/>JenniferJennifer@woodleycottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817977488053299769noreply@blogger.com
