I don't think they should be allowed to be used at work. I hate someone talking on the phone when they're supposed to be serving me in a store or restaurant. It's outragous.

RN I just recently got a bluetooth headset and I felt like an absolute FOOL when my son called me in the store. I turned my back to everyone so they wouldn't think I was a lunatic! LOL Then when I got home, I left it on for a bit just because I was busy and I got another call and my husband look at me like I WAS A LUNATIC! LOL Also, the one time a friend called, I couldn't figure out how to turn the stupid thing off w/o cutting her off. I did manage to turn it off after DH thought I was luny since I walked too far away from the phone and needed to get my phone and get rid of the stupid thing! I've also been startled when I see people and think they're talking to themselves and have laughed at them. Now I'm one of them, but I agree, they should not be allowed at work. I do find it better in the car since if I'm running in somewhere fast, I don't have to unhook everything. The first time I had my wired headset plugged in, I was in the store and DD was trying to call me and I didn't know I wouldn't hear the phone ring if I left the headphone plugged in. DUH. I've also had the phone say the bluetooth was connected and then I'm driving and the stupid phone starts ringing and it's NOT connected. PITA All of it. I just hate taking the chance to grab a phone quick and get off quick when driving. Plus, it's illegal here. Technology!!!!!!! It doesn't help I'm a slow learner. LOL

One of the Blue Collar Tour guys has a great skit he does about folks having loud cell phones conversations in public but dang if I can remember it accurately. Something about staring them down until they say "Can you excuse me, this is a private conversation?" to which he replies "Sorry but no I can't, because you aren't in private.. you are in public. In fact YOU are interfering with MY public."

RN the damn dog is being stubborn. His belly is so tight and I've taken him out 3 times. He wants to go on a walk not just out in the yard. Mama's feet are so sore from mowing this morning so SHE is not going on a walk! ^L^

RN hoping Serate's dog isn't bloated.A full bladder usually doesn't cause tightness.

RN his belly always looks like he swallowed a melon when he has to go potty. He eats way to fast. We've done everything we can think of to get him to slow down. Bought him a new bowl that has barricades in it. He's slowed down some but still eats too fast.

RN, I have a suggestion for Serate that I found totally useless but perhaps will work for someone else (fills ya with confidence, doesn't it?). I have a two year old maltese who is a gulp-eater. My vet suggested I take 4-5 small bowls and put them around my house and at dinner time take the regular amount of her food and distribute it among the scattered bowls. That way she is forced to slow down as she hunts down her food (change bowl placement every few days). Not practical for me as I have other animals.

RN I'll try that! He only gets 1/4 cup of food twice a day - and green beans at lunch - but it might work! RN2 hubby reminded me that it's not just after he eats. It's anytime he has to go potty he has a fat belly. Guess maybe I should check it out. He's always done that tho.

RN Something doesn't sound quite right about the fat belly. He may have digestive problems.
