answer:Well, if it’s OFF, how do we know if work calls, or there is an emergency? I am not sneering when I say I could, but I won’t participate. Now, if I still had a land line phone, with an answering machine, then sure. Everybody just gonna have to hang on to their emergency until I get home….like we used to do. Everybody also had neighbor’s numbers for back up. I actually have a possible emergency brewing, and I’m also waiting to hear back on a couple of jobs I applied for. Other than that, the only calls I get are from the mortgage company, nagging me to make my house payment. I can live without that. I know I’m late. So yeah. I could. But our society is not set up the way it used to be where you had back up.
