Right. So a spirited and almost divisive discussion came up and I need to poll the TB masses for an incomplete and unreliable public sampling.
Do you use your phone when using the toilet?
To clarify the poll options, by video I don't mean just watching a video, I mean video chat....like Facetime, or Google video chat, or Tango, etc.

I dont use my phone for phone purposes when using the toilet, but Im not above knocking out some pigs while I drop the kids off at the pool.

Like hover though, the khazee is one of the last places known to man where I can thumb through a good bit of old-fashioned proper magazines. It's also where I can do crosswords in peace. |
