Parents too busy on their phones to watch or pay any attention to their kids. Etc, etc.<br /><br />I came across an old phone booth in my area during the summer, still with phone. I believe still in working order. I do wonder if anyone uses it, and it is possible, considering the area in which it sits. <br /><br />I still love to send hand made cards, letters, and the like. I still send 'thank you' notes when I receive a gift. I guess I'm 'old fashioned' that way. I get few who respond back in the same manner, usually telling me they 'don't have time'. They send an email instead. I guess it is what it is. <br /><br />What is it that we spend so much of our time on that we can't keep in touch with families and friends 'the old way'. Sigh.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861306348634106983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-76742754360076662972011-11-19T09:56:39.110-08:002011-11-19T09:56:39.110-08:00Yay!!!!

Oh by the way that booth with the ratty old phone book with the torn pages now cost 50 cents that is half a Looney yes I think it is Looney also.(Canadian joke sorry).<br /> I do not have Facebook or Twitter and do not use my cell phone that much.I guess I love the personal touch also. I have terrible handwriting but I am a better writer than a typer so I guess even if people can't read it, it is a very lost art I have manged to hold on to.<br /> Oh yes most of those phone booths now do not work and the pages in the phone books are missing all but the yellow pages. Go figure.<br /> You are so right. You are a very wise woman my dear friend.

Very good post, I love it, and you are very right on the whole matter. I hate it when I go to a restaurant, and people are looking at there phones. Enjoy the moment or something. My wife and I have an agreement were we both leave them in the car. I loved what my dad use to say, when they finally got an ansering machine. During evening family meal, if some one called he would say,......."If it's important, they will leave a message". I miss that.
