For the thin blue line

If you have already done this, then good for you. Pat yourself on the back and go get a candy bar as a reward.

When I walk my dogs, I take along my cell phone. I don't take it so I can chat with my friends. In fact, my last phone bill showed 26 minutes of use in a month. No, I carry the phone for identification purposes, mostly. If I happen to fall and knock myself out, police or someone else can use my phone to call my daughter. They can trace who I am with the phone, also.

So if you haven't done this, go get your little cell phone. Program in one number (or more) to your phone list that is an emergency number. You might want to list your home phone number and label it as such.

It only takes a minute, but it could save your life or get needed help that much faster.

Besides, when the police call you a dumb butt for falling on the curb and cracking your head open, they can call you by name.

         Good Idea ... defiantly better to be called by name when someone's calling you a dumb butt. Ummm, Suz ... are you sure you want them to call the girl child in case of emergency?

I fill mine with phone numbers for hookers and label them "Mom" "Aunt Gina" and "The Mayor's Office."
