In my experience they are usually stronger than the material they are attached to. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-20959416087256862022014-08-20T17:31:07.286-07:002014-08-20T17:31:07.286-07:001) There is something to be said for the cheap pho...1) There is something to be said for the cheap phones that just let you do phone calls and send/receive texts. The ones that let you add minutes as needed instead of a fixed monthly charge. They seem to last a lot long on a charge, for one thing.<br />They also allow some secrecy and you can throw them away and get another if you get harassing calls.<br />2) In either case, an excellent feature of cell phones in the USA --and I assume in some other countries as well --is that you can register with local emergency authorities to receive automatic text alerts of emergencies. In the USA, those are often winter blizzards, violent storms, kidnapped children etc but they are also set up to transmit any national security EAS msgs.<br /><br />Plus if you also sign up for alerts in the nonlocal "canary in the coal mine" locations -- New York City, Washington DC, etc<br /> -- you will get an early notice of terrorist strikes like 911 as fast as the news agencies. Maybe enough time to sell those stocks or Get Out of Dodge ahead of the Horde.Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.com
