This is sorta a question as to who owns YOUR day. When a commercial comes on, your day is commandeered. When a telemarketer calls, your day is high-jacked. When you are in grid-locked traffic- you dont own your day. When you spend 40 minuted on the phone dancing with voice mail, you do not OWN your day. If one is at work- in exchange for pay- you are renting out your day. When I have to read an entire book and sift thru to find Engish on how to work an alarm clock- I do not own my day. Peasants working for 12 cents an hour- dont own there day. Pronouncement mechanisms set out to own a day which BELONGS to YOU. The OP, owned his day- at least for that one day.

I live in a remote area where the cell phone doesn't even work sometimes. If the battery goes dead, I don't recharge it, sometimes for several days. I don't have a contract, I have a pay as you go phone and I use it less than 40 min. a month. But if I'm stranded in the mountains, 30 miles from the nearest dwelling, at least I can let someone know where I am. Just in case, in the winter I pack my car with a sleeping bag, blankets, food, candy, water. And a good book. Getting out of the rat race was the best move I ever made.

i've always been in a state of amazement and wonder about all of the technology that is so "necessary" nowadays. We had one telephone in the house. It was in the kitchen, it was a rotary phone, and it had a 30 foot long cord. No answering machine, no voicemail. We could actually enjoy a dinner out with the family and talk to each other without the annoying sound of a cell ringer. We also had the big console television complete with a channel changer - i.e. a human child. I think there were 10 channels. And the aerial antenna tower attached to the house. We got along just fine. Anyone else remember the simple life?
