Default True grips for your rulers...another use for them

I just bought a new smart phone & case yesterday. The case is a tad slippery in my fingers so I used the tiny dots from the centers of the rings on the sides of the case. Viola! No more slipping!

Hey that's a good idea! I don't have a smart phone yet, but maybe soon!

I also use those little dots on small templates like the marti michell ones. Heck I even take the large piece around the dots, cut it up and use it.

up load the battery app saver. and remember, texting uses your battery up a lot faster than talking, reading e mal etc.

I am still using a "dumb' phone. Will never be smart enough for the more advanced. I admire all of you out there who are 'with it'.

congrats.
was wondering while reading this:
dd said she saw an article on the net about a gyn that discovered he had many patients under 26
with tumors between the breasts and one had developed one on the side of her breast.
Research found that they all had been carrying their cell phones in their bras. (even the side lady,...yup, put
her phone "there".)
I have one pair of pants with no pockets and had trouble getting to my phone, so dd was aware I was
putting mine in my bra...no more!
Hope this helps somebody.

I used to do that too for a while. now I have a headset that lays on my neck and I use one ear plug. can tp the button when the phone rings and if I want to call someone I tap the button and say call such and such # and it automatically calls the number.
