Did you ever have a beeper?

[jonstark 8]

I had a beeper like a chain around my neck for years. It allowed a certain amount of freedom in the 80s and early 90s but still they could jerk you up short with a page and you had to find a pay phone in a hurry. That beeper fell into the pool at Perris a few times.

I got a cell phone in 1991 which was the size of a large book which was my savior. I could now go wherever and whenever I felt and could be found without having to be on a landline anywhere. It cost around $1200/month.

I LOVED my beautiful translucent green beeper.

I had the same one!

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I carried a 2-way text pager for years because of work. I switched jobs at work and conveniently lost it.

I'm simply going to impose a 30-day suspension on your man card. Go drink some beer, watch a couple of football games, and squeeze some titties, and I'll reinstate it.

i think i can manage that. just to be safe, i'm going to do all three at the same time.

who else said "page me later"? i loved saying that!

i also have to admit that my boyfriend in 10th grade broke up with me by sending me a page that i had to de-code... LAME! it said "6659 3743637"

On any given day I still wear a cell phone and between 1 and 3 pagers, depending on the service.

I HATE the things.

For a short time, I had to wear a commercial text pager, an inhouse tone only pager, a cell phone and a 2 way radio. And this is before the things were small. Add to that a flashlight and small tool pouch and it looked like I was wearing a BatBelt.

I'm not a doctor but I work in a hospital. I have a beeper with me right now. I don't mind because I'd rather they page me than call my cell phone during off hours.

Yeah I just had one last night. When our table was ready at the outback I had to give it back though.

Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

I had one for work. After two of them bounced over Canadian Skydive on Friday's sunset loads, my boss let me expense my cell.

My friends and I all had different color beepers and we would trade the clips off the back of them to make them multi-colored. Thats a fun level of dork!
