Cell Phone Dangers

It seems like everyone today has a cell phone. And everywhere I look, people are talking on their cell. They're ahead of me in the checkout line and sitting behind me at the restaurant. I remember years ago, when you passed someone who was talking, you assumed they were talking to themselves. Today, you just assume they're on a cell phone. Some people keep their cell phone attached to their ear with a Bluetooth or ear bud. And some people are downright rude, talking on their cell when they should be talking to the people they're with.

I finally got a cell phone a few years ago. Since I drive from Ohio to Florida and back to Ohio twice a year, I decided I needed one for an emergency. I worried that eventually an emergency would be calling Pizza Hut on the way home, so the pizza would be hot when I arrived. But, that hasn't been the case. I really only use my cell for short calls - one or two minutes - And probably no more than a couple times a month. And it's come in handy a few times when I was running late.

I don't want to use my cell phone any more than that because I'm not convinced that they're safe. There are arguments both ways, but until I'm convinced, I'll just keep mine for an emergency.

And now, I'm learning that it's not JUST cell phones. It's the cell phone towers, along with all the other electronics that are a part of our everyday lives.

I ran across these videos on Google that were very enlightening - And scary . . .

About Me

Marilyn KvasnokI’ve gone from green thumb to living green. After spending 20 years of summers out in the yard – planting flowers and vegetables, watering, weeding and reaping the harvest – I’m now going green with the realization that we need to take care of ourselves, our families and the earth. And I found a company to help me do it. I’m a Shaklee distributor.

So, now I’m into a more natural lifestyle. I’m still eating lots of fruits and vegetables, even though they’re not coming from my garden. The big change is eating less processed foods and faithfully taking my vitamins.

It didn’t happen overnight. It was a series of little changes that added up to a healthy lifestyle. And it doesn’t stop here. I continue to reevaluate and make little changes. So, it’s true, the only constant is change.

I'm a full time caregiver for my mom, who's no longer independent. And I support myself with a home business.

I believe we all need to continue to learn and grow. So, I got a computer when they started to be sold to regular folk. And I embraced the Internet when the best I could do was email. It's been a great ride and now here I am - Blogging!
