Here we go again.Cell phones can cause cancer.I was looking on my Yahoo home page.It was the headlines.They are doing more research.The info was alot and can't remember it all but now I am back to not wanting to use my cell as often.I do once in awhile to my sister and then I do it when I call out of state people. I have some I want to talk to but when we talk we do quite a while.We don't see each other often but talk to each other alot when we get on the phone(cell)

    I've been suspect
    I've been suspect of this for a long time. Luckily for me I am not much of a talker and we have a land line still. I also have a Tracphone which is a type of pay as you go. You add months of service and minutes of service. It is more expensive in the sense of minutes per dollar but if you don't talk much you can spend $60 to $120 per year just for the security of having a phone on the road. No I am not making a comercial for them. I am just pointing out that if one can change thier habits of usage now that the news is out on cell phone useage perhaps we can have some level of safety for car breakdowns without posing too great a risk to our health.

    Another source of Cancer... What's next??? 90-95% of my cell phone use is on the speaker phone. People always ask me to take them off the speaker... my reply I'm a multi tasker. lol

    now we have another excuse
    Just state the new concern and state it is my choice to not over expose myself to a possible risk. Anyone who cannot understand this is inconsiderate.

    SUCKS!
    I don't like cell phones anyway. But I have used them the last 7 years. And to think there are so many other things out there that can cause this decease and companies don't tell (and govt. makes $). Ugh!
