I am not a person that has my cell phone attached at the hip. I am more often leaving it behind when I go out. Last night around midnight I got a text message from a fellow quilter and left it, being annoyed, at the late time of the text, until I got up this morning. I am of the thought that if you need to contact me after 9:00 pm, you had better be in the hospital, an accident or dead! I get upset with my sister that text when she is driving! A big problem that is. I agree that texting has taken the personal touch out of communicating. Saying a persons name into a phone and talking in person is much healthier than texting. The closest I ever came to texting was as a kid passing notes in class from one person to another and that ended at the end of the school day. Not into the middle of the night.
