36. Well I am a senior citizen. When I worked I usually got off at 9:00 at night. I live in a rural

area. Any way I was coming home from work and I hit a big deer. All I can say thank god this woman stop on the other side of the road. She had a cell phone. Honestly I don't know what I would have done because it is a rural area and the houses that are around people were already in bed because their homes were dark. The police came and my car was still running but I asked them to follow me home. They did. After that I told my husband that I needed a cellphone. Now I don't leave home without it. My husband finally got one last year and he doesn't know what he would do without it. He works nights and leaves it on. I am home by myself and I have a heart condition. But what I like about having a cell phone now is when we go shopping and my husband and I loose each other in the store all I have to do is call him on the cell phone. I had a prepaid phone but I didn't like it. We just ended up getting a simple phone without all the fancy stuff. I do have pictures and txting and nothing else. Also when the lights go out at home you can't use the phone to call and let the electric dept know the lights are out because you have a portable phone. You can use your cellphone. Of course now I made sure we have one land line so I can make calls. But really think about getting it. Once you have it you'll wonder what took you so long.
