Exactly why I set it to a higher number of posts per page.

I haven't had a landline phone since 2001, and don't miss it one bit. I was worried I would, but didn't at all. My cell is all I need. I had a friend who worked for the phone company tell me that 911 wouldn't work with a cell phone, but I don't think that's true anymore since most cell phones have a GPS locater built into them. Also, if you call 911 from a cell phone, first two things to say are your location and number you're calling from (in case the call is lost, they can call you back), then proceed with the reason for calling. That way they'll at least have your location if the call drops and can get someone on the way to you.

The only problem I have ever had with dialing 911 on my cell is if I am near state lines I may get an operator from the wrong state. But, like you said, the first thing they ask is for your location, so it gets fixed pretty quickly.

I'm with you there. The only reason I let my daughter get a cell phone at 16 was because she would be out driving alone, and I didn't want here stranded somewhere.

I guess I'm one of the 25% since I still have a land line. I've made the comment before about how we seem to get more sales solicitation calls than we used to. Maybe they're just running short on phone numbers to call.

I like watching the ufc, Ive often thought about getting into some sort of martial arts. I think it would be pretty neat to fight in a ring like that, instead in a bar!
