Maybe it starts too slow?<BR/><BR/>Other than the fact that it feeds my OCD tendencies, I do love my BlackBerry. But I HATE my husband's even though he uses it for, you know, work. We've made a rule not to check it when the kids are around because it can easily get out of control. No checking it in bed (seriously!), or at dinner.<BR/><BR/>Oy, we sound pathetic!WendyCinNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548500219172368038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-49967388244641413292008-10-05T14:24:00.000-07:002008-10-05T14:24:00.000-07:00Case in point of why it's good that I did NOT get ...Case in point of why it's good that I did NOT get a blackberry.

You never know if you might miss something from an agent, or a good deal on Viagra. <BR/><BR/>The head game I play with myself when I DO see something from an agent is to immediately say "It's a no.
