User ID: 78659823 United States 03/20/2021 10:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The people who used to call and talk forever to me, lived alone. I guess they were lonely or just felt the need to talk. I could set the receiver down and go to the bathroom and they'd still be talking. When we got a cordless phone, I would lay it on the counter while I made super. How can anyone talk for 2 hours straight? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77983873 United States 03/20/2021 10:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have two friends I allow to communicate with me on the phone. They are my absolute limit. Other people are by messenger. I have a great friendship with someone I met from GLP through messenger. We have been friends for years now, and both of us do not like the phone so it works great. My 2 friends I talk on the phone with are understanding about the fact that even that is limited. Sometimes I just do not have "my brain on" to talk. I don't have any family, just my son. So these 2 friends are more like family - probably why I can handle the phone calls here and there. They are the only ones. But I can tell you, I really don't want any more phone commitment. Its exhausting. |

I did fall in Love with a man some years ago that used to skype me, he lived out in Wyoming. He would carry that tablet around until he fell asleep talking to me. He was something special. Sadly he had MS, and his personality changed so our situation fell apart. Up until, he talked to me more than anyone else I had ever known in life. We just managed to click. Still miss him. I would talk to him on the phone. |

User ID: 80160918 Taiwan 03/20/2021 10:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't like chatting on the phone cos of the risk from cell phone radiation. Landlines are fine. Zoom is alright too. You could find a private voice app, OP, and make a GLP room. Messages are better in 2021, but when I was a kid, I was on the phone all day. Maybe one middle-ground is sending voice messages. I knew a girl who did that, it was really cool. Last Edited by Daozen on 03/20/2021 10:15 PM Daozen appears to be mentally impaired, but harmless.

User ID: 80129766 United States 03/20/2021 10:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of my favorite parts about not working is not having to carry an extra cell phone. Also, keep in mind that some people are really struggling with the lockdowns. People that would normally get out and about are stuck at home and bored or lonely or both. Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. -- Abraham Lincoln The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. -- Albert Camus |

I got busted. That was before drunk dials. But before *69 even for me. I can still remember calling that guy I crushed on, my roommate crushed on his roommate and we called and hung up. teehehheeehee!!! Immediately the phone rang AND WE WERE BUSTED. One of them on the other end, what do you want? Huh? Well you called. No we didn't. Um, yes you did. Talk about die inside with embarrassment times a thousand. Ahhhh - back in the day. |

Good thing if you like it, bad thing if you don't like it. You know who likes to talk on the phone? Alcoholics while they drink. I really don't want that in my life. Sadly I had some "friends" that used to do that - call me and go on and on. I dislike talking on the phone so much I barely have a cell phone, its a flip. And my 2 phone friends have to call on a land line, and they always ask through messenger first. Can I call you? Cuz you know, sometimes - I gotta nap. |
