Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

With a child in hospital, my phone never leaves my person. I feel guilty not being able to be at the hospital 24/7, but the phone relieves some of that guilt. As I am always half expecting a call, the phone is never on silent. However, I don't always accept the calls if I am in a social or work situation where my attention is requested or required.
I do send broadcast messages to family and close friends on the progress of my child. It would be nicer to phone and talk to all these people, but right now I don't have the time or $$$ for that. My family and friends understand that and are happy for any means of communication, particularly the ones without constant access to email (yes - they do exist)
Before I had a child in hospital, meals times was a "no phone zone". My phone would live in my bag and if it rang whilst I was driving, I'd check my message bank when I got to my destination.
