It's time to make communication great again!

My daughter, bless her heart, never answers her phone. She gives excuse after excuse about it too.  She's too busy or it didn't ring or she's playing hide and seek with it and can't locate it.  But here's the thing.... What if I was dying!?   I mean... I'm not a spring chicken anymore... what if my life depends on her answering the phone or I'm literally bleeding out?  I could be having an allergic reaction to something or a brain freeze while eating ice-cream.. I don't know... but damn... if the phones making that noise... how can you just ignore it?  Regardless, what's the point of having a cell phone if you don't at least KNOW where your phone is when it's ringing?? 

Remembering the good ol' days when having a house phone meant you could get an answer.  Even if it was a kid or someone out of breath.  Hell, we use to fight to the death to be the one that answered the phone... and THEN were disappointed if it wasn't for us!  Now people hit ignore!  And back in the day... if you called and it rang with no answer, that meant noone was home to answer it. AND because we didn't want to miss a call we got a cell phone, but NOW people aren't answering anywhere!  It's a vicious cycle and downright maddening!! I say we bring back the good ol' reliable house phone!
