God I hope not, I will drop texting off of my phone! I have had it done as well & tell them THAT ARE SITTING 2 TABLES AWAY to get up & walk up here!

I don't own an "electronic leash" oops I mean cell phone, cause I really don't want to talk to people that bad.

My wife bothers me enough with text messages while I'm working. If I started taking them from all my customers I would never get anything done. Plus, it would be hard to maintain my rotation rules if I started taking text requests.

I refuse to do it until I can find a way to integrate it fairly into a rotation and prevent errors as well as appease all those who do not even know how to send a text message (we all know they exist and some might even sing karaoke).

First rule would have to be that the person must be inside the building or on the grounds while sending the message.

Just my opinion.

If you had your cell off or didn't bring it, would you had ever known?

There's your answer!

I choose to run a karaoke show and NOT talk as if i am in a phone booth, leave the booth, attend the show, no one knows the difference.

Another reason, unless you have unlimited free texting, it costs like $.15 cents per text - i'm sure there are plans that are cheaper & more.

Don't worry, cell phone addicts will pay an expensive price in the long run...sad too.

Cell phones are used in our house for emergencies only, and we rarely have an emergency.

Read and heed.

If I have to worry about cell phones & microwaves (what about your microwave ovens), then there is no point in going outside. Most places I go to now days have wifi, 90+% of everyone I know has a cell phone, for this study to say stay away from people who have one is ridiculous - it's not going to happen.
If I am going to die - which can happen anytime in your life be it accident, purposely or naturally, it's going to happen, I am not going to stop living life just to try to live longer. When my time comes it comes.
It's like that little joke, aren't all of these health nuts lying in their hospital death bed dying of nothing going to feel foolish!
