Where (and when) is it absolutely NOT appropriate to use your cell phone?

This is a question that arose from Joanne Kahan’s pitch about the noise that comes from people wearing headphones in public places. This, in turn,  let to a conversation about what seems to be a need, on the part of many, to control the “noise” of everyday living – by creating their own!

 

Cellphone use in general seemed to be the thing that stirred the conversation the most, so we pose this question for your consideration: ‘Where (and when) is it absolutely NOT appropriate to use your cell phone?’.

 

One of my favorite comments: “A public rest room stall! One of these days I’m going to let out a massive groan, then flush!” (Thanks, Claudia!)

 

Episode 8: Orange Hills Country Club

Play

 

Nothing says “summer in the suburbs” like a golf course, and that’s where we headed to record episode 8!

 

Orange Hills Country Club is a public 18 hole course in, not a surprise, Orange Connecticut. Our gracious hosts for the afternoon were Judy and Jud Smith; their father, Connecticut Golf Hall of Fame Inductee Walter “Bud” Smith, cleared much of the land for the course himself.

 

Harlan, Duo, Bruce, Joanne, Jud and Gary

 

Our guest editors were Harlan Brothers - an inventor, composer, mathematician, educator, and co-creator of the iKandl Birthday App; Joanne Kahan, who describes herself as a “sometimes bored suburban housewife, volunteer, and soon-to-be-retired mother”; and Gary Choronzy, who owns Connecticut Websites. (Gary built this site, as well as sites for Ann Nyberg, Pam Landry, and Karen Bussen.)

 

How do you make mutually satisfactory compromises?

This question arose from Sarah Kyrcz’ story about going to a NASCAR race her husband wanted to attend… and how she ended up actually enjoying herself! (One of her secrets – just go with it.)

 

Compromise is an issue we all have to deal with, and the ability to “give a little to get a little” doesn’t always come naturally.
