They are, but let's be honest... they're basically hand-held computers now.

Talk, text, internet, navigation, music, camera... etc.

Yup.

I use it a lot more than my desktop computer. And I rarely if ever use my laptop anymore. Used to upgrade my laptops every 2 years or so, and tether the internet through my cellphone so I had a full featured PC available on the go. But that's no longer necessary in the last 5 years.

I wish Samsung still made the Active line. The S6 Active that I've had for the last 5 years or so has been the best of the smartphones I've had. It's been in my pocket when I fell off a boat. It's been in my shirt pocket while running a grinding wheel and the speakers still didn't fill with filings. I've dropped it a thousand times from my shirt pocket or my lap getting out of the truck, a good 4ft drop every time. It's the first phone I've had that I didnt' break the screen on. Its the first phone I've not brought in for an insurance replacement. Phone was so good it cost me more money cause I gotta buy a new one outright...

$580 for a new phone isn't terrible I spose, given I've not bought one in over 10 years. Had to reel myself in, was gonna go all out for a Galaxy S10+ but I need to put a bulky rugged case on any phones I have and the larger size and infinity screen with a big case would be too much.

They are, but really hate how dependent I've become on them. Used to be perfectly fine not being connected for hours or days at a time

Lots of it, I like the leftovers. Straight turkey I prefer fresh out of the oven. However, many of the turkey variations are quite tasty

I still have the habit of grabbing state maps at truck stops when I'm on the road...

Still have a thick atlas in the truck with state and local maps.

I think I have my super local chicagoland map set in the garage somewhere.

My favorite part of the turkey is my Turkey Leftovers Sammich....oat nut bread, mayo(Hellmans), sliced turkey breast, stuffing, green olives, slice of cranberry sauce, salt and pepper=p~ yummy....you gotta put it together in that order, so the olives are between the stuffing and cranberry sauce, otherwise the olives slide around and pop outta there when you try to bite into it, and you wind up chasing olives all over the place....

I had Thanksgiving at work yesterday, so no leftovers.

Don't feel bad for me, though... wife and I got some ribeyes and crab legs for dinner. =p~

I do that, but mostly because on several occasions GPS has sent me down tight small town downtown square roads with my 22ft truck and 36ft trailer.
