I don't want one of those either, although it looks like it's getting
harder and harder to not need a smartphone.

Really? I manage just fine with texts and calls on my phone. I see no urgency to use Facebook while I'm out.

I don't use my smart phone for very much. I seldom make any calls.
Today I made 2 to the wife while I was out. First time I called
anyone on it in over 3 months..

I use it for 2 things. One is it has a calander in it I put my
appointments on. The 2nd almost pays for the phone. Walmart has an ap
where you take a pix of the code on the cash register paper and it looks
at advertisements of other stores in the area and if any are lower, they
refund you the difference. Not a whole lot, but usually around $ 2 a
week on about $ 200 worth of stuff we buy.

As Direct TV can be seen on the phone, I guess I could take it with me
to the bathroom while doing my business.


I used to take a newspaper or novel with me to the bathroom when I needed to drop a load of Ready Mix. Now I take my Amazon Fire tablet and watch Amazon Prime TV shows and movies. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
