But the phone is an essential tool when it comes to nurturing long-distance friendships; the problem is finding time to talk. If you've got friends spread out over the country or the globe, there are a few simple things you can do to make Read more
In this day and age, where most of us carry a BlackBerry, a cell phone, an iPhone, or maybe even all three, it's easier than ever to get ahold of people. My mom, for instance, always has her phone with her, no matter the day or the time. Then there's my BFF, who is notorious for never answering her phone and lagging on her email responses.

It's nice to have a back-up, service is pretty cheap, and it just feels normal to me. Of course, I'm still pretty picky about the design of a house phone I'll buy — in that it needs to be a cute part of my decor. I think this retro Pink Metro Phone from Pottery Barn Kids is totally Read more
