Re: A Modern Day Take On Getting Old.

If it works for you Less...then that is all that matters.

You are right though about getting old.
It seems that everyone today is expected to have not just a mobile phone...but a smart phone.
If you say you do not possess one of these then you are looked at like you have two heads, but brains in neither of them.
I have no smart phone....I have a dumb mobile...it lies at the bottom of my bag and the last time I checked...the battery was dead.
We had a visit from a young police woman recently and she asked what I would do if I was out and needed assistance....I told her that some Good Samaritan would take pity on me if I showed them my dead dumb phone.
This phone belonged to my Ma......she never used it either.
No one wants to phone me when I am out and about....I am usually with my other half these days so he is unlikely to ring me.
