Darn it all. Every dimwit’s first thought for their simple minds to drift down the stream is to the ravine call “smartphone.” Airline? Make them use their phone as the paperless ticket. Music? Buy the songs for your phone.

I even heard today Catholics don’t worry about mini missals in the pew ahead with the Scripture verses having Covid on them because “they already have the week’s verses on their phones.”

Ok. I don’t have a smartphone; mine is a dumb phone.
I use a tracphone minute phone for car emergencies and to be called into the dentist’s office from the parking lot during lockdowns and so on.

So I am screwed. I knew someday they’d push me over the line. Not even Kroger’s only on the phone discounts broke me.

Yup—I use my cell phone exactly the way you do.

“Live free or die” is gonna be more than just a slogan soon.

I have a flip phone. No idea what sort of apps I might be able to use, if any, and I don’t do texts. The phone is for making and receiving calls when necessary, and most of the time it’s in a drawer, turned off. I don’t carry the thing around all the time, so I guess this QR code stuff isn’t going to work for me.
