I used to spend most of my spare time on telephone to chat with my friends, that really makes my parents unhappy. Well.... I think I'm on the phone at least 4 hours a day. Now that I often spend time on internet, I still have to talk on the phone for about 1 to 1 and a half hour per day. It becomes habit, I guess....I tried to get rid of this bad habit (as my parents said) a couple of time but I failed :( What about you guys?

I only spend minutes on the phone. Nothing more since I'm on the internet all the time. Too bad my parents think I shouldn't be on the net, and in some cases, I'm beginning to think the net may be a bad place for nice guys.

Good or bad depends on your behaviour I think. Since you can control yourself then it should be fine. Anyway, why do you think so?

My behavior on the net is exceptional. I am trustworthy and I do not talk behind people's backs. In fact, I'm known to be one of the most trustworthy members around. I do not lie, although I joke around, and everything you see about me is the truth, even my posts. I am giving my life to people I don't even know, yet in some cases I don't get the same sentiments back. Some members and a mod understand what I'm going through, and I'm glad for their concern.
Also, my mother earlier had a phone bill of $150 because of dial-up. I told her to get DSL so she doesn't have to worry about long distance calls. I took the blame for something I didn't do and something my brother did. It's pretty pathetic. I'm beginning to think that everything associated with the phone is not inconsequential these days. Why does it cost money to contact other people? Why does it even cost money to get information? I know the companies need the money to keep their businesses running, but I don't think it's necessary. The government has the money; why don't they spend it? You know why? They're too busy spending it for other unnecessary crap.
DSL is only $30 a month at home. We wouldn't have to worry about a phone connection with DSL. As long as people have dial-up at home, and they are on the internet most of the time, they can expect their phone bill to go up and up, especially when dialing long distance numbers, numbers that I do not want to dial.

It's a great thing that you show people how trustworthy you are but giving life to people that you don't know seems to be some kind of danger, some bad people might take advantage of you because of that. I too do hate people talk behind my back, I too do hate liars but I'm a bit cautious with strangers especially with people I don't have good feelings in the first place....

Sometimes it's really not a good thing to take blame for sth you didn't do. No offence, if you keep doing that, it might harm your brother, he might automatically blame you when sth comes up just to avoid being punished for example....
And I know about the government's budget, they took money from citizens to do many unnecessary things....can not do anything about it though *sigh*
Anyway, hope I don't bore or upset you with this small speech *giggles*

I don't spend that much time on the phone line. Never have, but I hope that if I ever get a girlfriend that I'll spend heaps of time chatting on the phone line to her. I think that would be great fun. I will occassionally talk to a friend on the phone for maybe ten minutes but that's generally if I need to ask them something and I haven't spoken to them for a while so I'll chat a little bit after asking them my question.

Interesting strategy - I normally go straight to the point but that's nice of you to catch up with other people when you haven't seen them in a while. It's nice to feel comfortable around the corner - I agree there. **Nods** lol

I could say the same thing somewhat but not exactly to that extent, but more or less I don't really care what kind of remarks go on around the net. There will be those who will believe you and those who don't and will hate you for turning the blind eye. To me, it also depends on the personality of a person. Just ignore the bad remarks you have on the back of your mind, and go on with those who appreciate you for who you are, really. You don't need to convince those who don't trust you twice. **Shrugs** I've learned that along the way from a lot of forums. Not every view is agreed upon, nor will one person be liked by absolutely everyone - there's always that call of uncertainty in the air and you should ignore what may be going on and jump into what's more important to you, in a sense.
Anyways, on topic.

about you guys?lol - When I go on the Net, I talk on a wireless phone, plus I just hit the Hands-Free button and yap whenever I feel like it, with the music turned down of course, so its all good here. Multi-tasking - to master it is the key to victory. Yaya! **Nods** Hey Barbara! Nice to see you again!

I hate using the telephone. I feel so weird when doing it and it's also really rude. If you think about it, it's the long distance equivalent of someone walking into your room and banging on the desk shouting "Speak to me now! Speak to me now! Speak to me now!"

It's even long distance...I'm starting to sense now that my parents are gonna strip me of money freedom soon[I spend too much on anime too!]....well, anyway...that's why sometimes after I use the phone...my ears hurts so much! Well........there's such so many to talk about!

I rarely talk more than an hour on the phone, mainly because mobile bills are not worth wasting my money on after working so hard for it. But sometimes when my best friend calls we talk for a very long time, mainly because we never see each other much anymore *tears*, and there's a load of new gossip to catch up on. And secrets. :D

I never use the phone.. since I never call anyone >__> ... I'd like to think I have phoneophobia. Fear of calling people.. :D Besides.. I do most of the communicating part online.
