Cell phone ring tones too high-pitched for old ears? What's next?

Thanks for writing your informative post this morning. Have an awesome weekend

What did you say?:)

Charles, I would answer you but I couldn't hear what you said!

Eric, thanks.

Barbara - My iPhone has an application called "Annoy a Teen", which enables me to emit super-high pitched (and apparently very irritating) sounds that I can't even hear.  My kids can hear them, and they beg me to turn it off! 

Jason, you can't hear it and you're still young!  Imagine teachers having this happen and they're also pretty darned young!!!

Mrs Barbara,

If I had a cell phone, and it rang, I could hear it -- being a squirrel -- but I would not answer it. I suspect it would be that mean old spinster who shall not be named here.

Nutsy

Barbara I heard then talking about it a few months back on the Today show. They had a reporter using a phone that had the ring tone. She couldn't hear it, the teacher couldn't hear it, but the teenagers did. I think it's just a little bit creepy.

I have set my phone up with different ring tones for certain folks, that way I don't have to even look at the phone to know if I should or should not answer it. I have to admit I really dislike when the phone rings on Loud, when in public it is nicer to use soft... just my 2¢.

Suesan, it makes me wonder at what age the hearing deteriorates to the point of not hearing the high pitched sounds.  Sounds like young adults couldn't hear it!

Mary, I also have a different ring tone for my husband but in this case, it sounds as if they were out to eliminate all adult ears!!  That's amazing.

Nutsy, quit fighting with that lady.  She's going to wipe the floor with you! 

Ms Barbara, How did you know squirrel chamois is used in Nevavda for wiping floors. Oh Nutsy... won't you come visit please?

OMG all over again.  Ms Kate does not eat squirrel but uses the skin for a rag...Run!  Nutsy, run!!

Mrs Barbara,

Someone sent me this photo and indicated we would understand the connection. I think we are supposed to substitute squirrels for Dalmatians.

Nutsy, your loyal Godson, feeling like General Custer

Kate Ford - Now THIS is a face to trust.

Nutsy's Alter Ego

Kate and Nutsy, I'm all confused.  Which one of you is Cruella? 

He's a strange little fellow parading around dressed up as Cruella, wouldn't you agree? CG Kate

Mrs Barbara,

Who is Cruella? Please. This woman uses smoke and mirrors. Who is the one talking about me as a pelt for wiping her floors. It is certainly not your fine, upstanding Godson. Let me see if I can be a little more clear about this since she is trying to create an illusion.

Godson Nutsy

Godson Nutsy, you may have created something here with that half and half picture.  Ms Kate looks good in half gray and half black hair.  Reminds me of that old The Munsters show on TV.  I'll bet she'll thank you for the new-found style.  She's really a nice lady and you're sure a sweet squirlt.

Godmoma Ms Barbara

Wow, my kitchen floor is squeaky clean this morning after wiping it down with a fresh squirlt chamois.

Oh wait! That wasn't the floor that was squeaking... heheh

Kate, he gave you a new hairdo and this is the way you treat him????  Shameless chamois!!!!

Question for Ask Kate: What would Davy Crockett substitute in the absence of a raccoon tail?

Answer: Heheh

Mrs Barbara,

Can you hush up this Mrs Kate. She has my cousin Nutsy so upset that he is not doing the job he needs to be doing to promote my singing career. My Lord, why does she refer to him as a rodent. that totally bums him, and me, out.

Wheatloaf, future million selling hit-maker

Wheatloaf, while I appreciate your contacting me, I don't know if I can do anything with this person.  She's as energetic and quick as a squirrel and she can't be trapped.  She always comes back with something.  She's wearing me and Nutsy out.  You may have to do something yourself.  Maybe you could sign her up to sing with your band and she'd forget about Nutsy???

Ms Barbara, Nutsy's godmoma

I am recovering. I may be a squirrel, but that woman is pure squirrely. I think we are seeing jealousy on the part of someone.

Nutsy

Nutsy, since she is so vocal, the band HAS to be a good diversion idea.

Today I washed windows with my specialty chamois. I think I am going to start an infomercial. Hey Nutsy, wanna be my spokesperson? heheh

Mrs Barbara,

I think she is getting sweet on me. She has been so much nicer lately.

Nutsy

Nutsy, absolutely!!  She's swooning right now with you in that chrisp white shirt and hat with little ears poking through one side of the hat!  WOW!!!

Nutsy, NOT swooning. NOT even close. Even so, you will have to follow over to Ms Barbara's blog at Our little RE/MAX Advantage entrepreneur is back this summer to see how nice I have become to you. Ms. Kate The Great Ford

Barbara - I'm starting to become irritated with those who text while others are talking, teaching (seminars), and conducting meetings. It's just as rude as talking on the phone.

Carol, the only thing we can say is that texting is quieter than yakking on the phone like they used to do.  I agree that it is rude.
