Yes, there is*! It’s called the 8 pound *sledgehammer!

Just leave the flipping gadgets in the house!

How true. How sad….hang on just got a text….

Shut the stupid thing off :)

Well they tried, but addictions are hard to break.

Yes, we are all trained to respond like Pavlov’s dogs… Sad but true.

What a couple of idiots. I’m surprised that this marriage has lasted this long.

Oh, my. I think “self control” is an effective form of “message block.” ;)

I think not having a cell phone is an effective form of Message Block.

I know. I’m a rebel.

What horrible, horrible people. At least they’re not spoiling two households.

I am with you librarian–I own a trak fone for emergencies and keep having service shut down for lack of use!

It just goes to show you that people these days would prefer to “talk” with people on the phone, computer, etc then be with the person that they’re with.

Conveniently leave it in the car or something… or keep it in the deep recesses of a purse… keep it around for emergencies, but keep it hard to get to.

My own cell phone I hardly use only for emergency’s. I tell people to contact my husband. And in church we leave his cell phone in car. I thought for use they where only going to consentrate on themselves but the electrionic age got them. We’re not that popular.

I also rarely use my cell phone. My husband and I let the answering machine take messages for us when we spend time together.

L LOVE all this new technology! Except for the “annoying” factor.
