We Want to Know Wednesday Q&A wk20

Welcome to We Want to Know Q&A Wednesday

I loved Queso's questions last week soooo much, a thought provoking question really rocks. This week I feel the need to talk about cellphones. I miiiiight have a light addiction to mine and I want to know if I am totally alone on this. Sooo, let's talk about cell phones...

{1}Do you prefer to text or call?
{2}What is the last text message in your phone and who is it from?
{3}What are your favorite phone apps?
{4}At what age do you think kids are ready for a cell phone?
{5}Share a current pic or video taken with your phone.


Here are MY answers...I'll be by this evening to see what y'all said.


{1}Do you prefer to text or call?
I tend to lean a little more toward texting these days. I always wonder if my call is interrupting something, or if it is a bad time to call, so I will typically send a text and if the conversation moves to a phone call it does. A text feels lore like one of those "no biggie, get back to me when you can" things, I like texting for those moments.

{2}What is the last text message in your phone and who is it from?
"On my way home Beautiful" from Big Daddy...he always lets me know when he gets to work and when he is on his way home. It gives me time to get my boyfriend out of the house before he arrives.

{3}What are your favorite phone apps?
I LOVE (and am slightly addicted to) Words with Friends. Wanna play? HolleeAnnCFG is my user name. Warning, I am REALLY good and I despise cheaters. (:

{4}At what age do you think kids are ready for a cell phone?
We got one for J when she was 12. She had to turn it in at 9pm where it was plugged in to charge in our bedroom. And yes, we read her text messages and monitor who she is calling. She is 16 now and is pretty responsible when it comes to her phone.

{5}Share a current pic or video taken with your phone.
Here is one of Big Daddy and me at the Modesto Nuts Game. We took the boys one night for Camp Vasquez...good times.

I'm glad you monitor your daughters cell usage and such. I know some parents out there that don't and that is a big deal! Anyways, thanks for hosting. I did this as well!

Happy Birthday to Big Daddy!
I prefer texting too.
Your Words with Friends warning cracked me up!
After my 10 year old daughter got on the wrong school bus last week, I ordered her a cell phone. If she'd had one then, I wouldn't have experienced 30 minutes of not knowing where my child was!

Happy Birthday Big Daddy!!

So sweet that he lets you know when he's leaving. My hubby is kinda text challenged and only does it when absolutely necessary!

I can't wait to get a new phone to play games. I'll let you know when I get one.....we can play words!

Great IDEA for questions. A persons cell phone is like an extension of themselves. I think if I could rummage through anyones cell phone you would see through to their soul! So cute how big daddy texts you when he's on his way home.
I'm a text girl all the way!
Oh lovin the pic! Cute.

Megan Harmeyer said...

I'm more of a texter, too. Your husband is so sweet - you are one lucky woman! I love WwF, but I don't have a super smanshy phone, so I only play on FB. And you're right...you are good! You totally wipe the floor with me. I think kid, more than the age, will be the determining factor for when they get a cell phone. And lady, you do not take bad pictures. Ever.

Pam said...

And I thought I was the only one who jokes about sending the boyfriend home before my husband gets there. Its a long standing joke for both my husband and I.

K Lind said...

Happy Birthday, Big Daddy!
I love the questions today! I never go anywhere without my phone. :-)
I've considered trying Words With Friends but I'd probably suck. Besides, I don't need another addiction. ;-)

Lourie said...

My daughter hands over her phone, I have the passcode. This is an enormous amount of trust. I randomly go through pictures ask what things are. What is she doing in this video. etc. Now little middle is phone age...we shall see how it goes with her.

KarmaKristin said...

A very Happy Birthday to your husband!!! Arent the hubby love texts just the best too!!!! they make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside!!!

Stacie said...

#4, awesome idea! Parents need to be more involved like you and BD!

Camie Rae said...

That's awesome! I think that's an amazing idea to handle and monitor kids' cell phone use. So smart you are!!

missy. said...

happy birthday hubs! good answers lady. i'm linked up :) xoxox

super cute picture by the way. you two are hotties!

Meg said...

I prefer the phone call. I have too many words for texting...and apparently, fat lil' fingers because a simple text usually looks like MFRh ad dfasjgfs this.

Ashley Rose said...

Ha! My husband always texts me too, and we have the same "boyfriend" joke...lol

OMG--I love Words too! I'm Milkshak3, so you might get a request from me!

I think monitoring your kids' phone usage is smart! Especially if you're the one paying for it! Privacy is a privilege, not a right!

Gingerrose said...

These questions made me miss my old phone that did so many cool things! Love the pic!

Kimi said...

LOVE that BD calls you when he gets to work and leaves. I'm such a mother hen like that. When Boyfriend leaves the my house I make him call when he gets home to his lol :)

I totally reserve the right to read all text messages and I keep track of who my son is calling online lol

Miss Angie said...

I think that's a great idea for the phone when they're that idea, I'll have to log that in my memory bank for when I have kids.

That's a cute picture. You guys are great. :)

MiMi said...

What a cute picture!! I hope BD has a wonderful birthday!

Mrs. S said...

Steph said...

I linked up for the first time this week.

Dani said...

OMG I HATE cheaters on WWF! I am terrible at the game but I have fun and I never cheat. I mean it is supposed to be fun...not just about winning.

The Hammonds said...

Oh I want to try WWF!! ANNNDDD good call on the monitoring of the cell phone, I am so paranoid for my future children about those thigns!

Angel said...

I am glad you monitored the phone, my parents didn't monitor mine and I KNOW I was doing things I shouldn't have plus I didn't really understand the whole min thing lol

Lilith MacRoberts said...

Happy Birthday to Big Daddy! Hope both of you enjoy many libations in celebration. :D

Colleen said...

Emmy said...

I like Big Daddy's hat! :). And totally agree about texting. I loved the questions this week and was disappointed I had already committed to go unplugged today after I saw them.

sarajo said...

Texting, yes!

So many apps! And after I posted mine, and was on my "fast" I thought a two more apps I use the most! UGH. IMDB and Wikipedia. Oh and the weather channel. :D
