freedomg The phones have their purpose when you need to keep an eye on a family member that is alone. I personally am never alone. I'm impressed to hear that your mom can figure out the new high end phones. I say that there is nothing in the world that can make you...

freedomg Oh girl don't even get me started on those people that think we all should work out side the home to be a productive and happy person. That may be what it takes for some but I am much happier at home enjoying my kids.

freedomg Thank you! "I think society these days places way too much emphasis on technology. We get so lost without it, even though if we really stopped to think about it... it's not that hard to go without." My thoughts exactly.

freedomg I can understand your situation as you are alone where I never am. Your son sounds very sweet to be so concerned for his mother. You did a good job raising that one. Thanks for the post
