January 14, 2005Trying To Find A DownsideThe rapid move up here to northern Indiana was such that all I set-up before the move was gas and electricity. Wonder if the cold and such had anything to do with motivating me to be sure I stayed warm and could cook. Hmmmmmm. Anyway, I did not get a phone figuring to do that between the move and New Year's. Instead, I discovered that I liked the peace and quiet. No telemarketers disregarding the Do-Not-Call list; no groups claiming exemption from same; no wrong numbers in the middle of the night; etc. Also, no $40-$50 for local service and a long-distance bill on top of that. Net result is that I am thinking that for now I may just stay with the cell. I am also thinking about not getting cable. What was basic in Huntsville is a premium here and I am less than happy at the idea of paying between $40-$50 just to get THC, TLC, Discovery, Weather, FoodTV, and Sci-Fi. I may end up getting cable, but just can't see the phone right now. Feel free to comment on your experiences. LW Posted by wolf1 at January 14, 2005 11:16 AM | TrackBackComments My daughter and her husband each use a cell phone - they don't have a landline. They pretty much like it that way. If you have a good cell signal at your place - I don't see a problem at all. (just don't tell a car rental company that the only phone you have is a cell - they generally want a land line to tie you to a certain address *grin*). As for cable - we have basic - basic - basic here (we don't even get CNN but I only pay $17 per month for television stations I never watch - LOL. I do want at least basic television if something really important happens - but mostly I spend all my time on line - the less tv I watch the worse it looks when I DO see it.
