You can't have your cake and eat it too
Hi there,
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive/ stayin' alive.
Five things to share:
Kill your phone. Thank me later.

omg thanks! Honored to have my article referenced in your newsletter! Dumbphones (and 1's after exclamation points) 4 life !!!!1
Love today's quote, btw. Your newsletter never fails to give me a good dose of things I need to hear :)
I'm with you on the appreciation for phones helping us directionally-challenged folks. I can't imagine how many wandering hours my GPS and maps app have saved me over the years. Of course, I don't have as many funny getting lost stories to share either. So it evens out I suppose.
