The service out here is a lot better then in the big city, you do not have all of those tall buildings blocking your signal.

Answer 11

Sí, mamá, tienes razón. Mi llamada del domingo es cinco minutos tarde. Lo siento. Se necesita más tiempo para realizar una llamada desde el centro del lago. Sí, mamá, todavia te quiero. Sí, tienes razón. Debería haber comenzado más temprano. Haré eso la próxima vez. Prometo, ¿bien?

Yes, Mom, you're right. My Sunday call is five minutes late. I'm sorry. It takes a little longer to put through a call from the middle of the lake. Yes, Mother, I still love you. Yes, you're right. I should have started sooner. I'll do that next time. I promise, okay?

Muy bueno Ann. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 10, 2016

Qué bueno ver que yo no seré la única persona que se niegue a unirse a la edad de teléfonos celulares.

How nice to see that I am not the only person that refuses to join in on the age of cell phones.

Really, you don't have a cell phone? I just got rid of an ancient flip phone that broke, but I do need it for emergencies :) - sanlee, Jan 10, 2016

I don't have one, although the land line company has just about pissed me off enough to consider switching. Except for the short distance between my house and work, I rarely go anywhere without my wife, who does have one. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 10, 2016

It does annoy her though when we split up in a mall and then she can't call me. If somewhere has free wi-fi I can take my ipad and she can text me though. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 10, 2016

Wow Bos you are a crazy man I could not live with out my flip phone, but I do not use it that much Except to call my family. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 10, 2016
