Phonebook? What’s that?

I know my son, Jax, is going to ask me this question someday.

How do I know? Because I just dug those suckers out from the cupboard above the fridge last night!

What’s even crazier is that only one of those are NEW. That’s right- I recycled all of the other new ones the moment they showed up on my doorstep. And the ONLY reason I kept that one new book was because of the pretty sweet coupons in it- but that one is gone now too because I realized I could just take the coupons out and save my cupboards the space. (I actually tweeted about how I’m going to use these this year here.)

That’s right- I don’t use phonebooks for anything other than fire starter fuel and coupons. I can get the info on my desktop or on my phone. Easy.

Some may argue that I’ll be up the creek without a paddle if the interenet is down, and won’t be able to get a number then. Ok- I’ll just look it up on my phone. And if my phone is down and the internet is down I guess I’ll just have to wait til it’s fixed. And if it’s down forever- I’ve got bigger things to worry about than finding a phone number or address.

The glaring issue for me is the ginormous waste of resources these booster seats create. I’d be interested to know the actual numbers of their decline and to see if anyone is pulling out all-together.

So yeah.

Do you still use phonebooks?
