Men like things that last

                                          Real Men like things that LAST...
                                Durable. Unchanging. Endlessly Familiar.
Remember that old cardigan sweater your father wore that used to drive your mother crazy?  Threadbare at the elbows, missing a button (or two)...but irreplaceable. It lasted for YEARS.
It's the same reason Geezers resist 'updating' to the latest electronic 'must have' thing.
My 2011 cell phone was still operating perfectly. My Sprint service provider was like an old friend by this time. My desk top P.C. fulfills all my modest needs. Do I REALLY NEED a new electronic device because it will forewarn me of an upcoming Bowel Movement? NAH !
I think NOT.
I know I cannot stop these ever-new devices and 'services' from being marketed...but it ain't natural. I understand commerce and the need to 'sell to the consumer'...but even the latest model Fords and Chevvies still start when the key is inserted into the ignition, when the clutch is depressed, when the gas pedal is stepped on. Nothing new there, eh?
Other devices today require a whole new educational regimen to activate them. NOTHING is the same as the last one. New icons to press. New procedures to follow. New everything.
And that's just to get to 'the site you want'. It's mind-blowing!
Surely, SOME of you can already reach SOME of your favorite locations...not all, mind you.
Just be aware that when you change a phone/a service/an anything...you'll be in trouble.
Lookit me...THEY even stripped me of my old phone number! Somehow the last cell service guy OWNS it. Ayyy, waddayagonnado?
Stop the world I wanna get off...and there ain't even pay phone on corners where I can make a call. I'm mute...how emasculating is THAT?
