          We were at a restaurant with exactly that scenario. There was a table of eight people next to us and all were on their phones :rolleyespink:

          Mobile phones are banned during meal times in our home. :blue thumb:

            I watch the TV during my meal times.;)
            Touch screens get really greasy, I find, when used while eating.:biggrin:

              Try using these sort of things. They're a new sort of thing that we didn't have when I was a lad. :old:

                There was a picture of three pennies on the soil of a flower part (I lost it) and this description ...

                "When people come into our shop and the tell us how they cure certain problems they are having with their plants, such as pest and diease we listen to what they say, a women came into our shop and told us how she gets rid of ants, and at that time i was having a bad issue with them, i had trails of ants coming out of my pots, she said on her fathers farm in Iowa they use to throw pennies all over the place and it got rid of them, so i took some of the pennies from our cash register and threw them in the pots well my wife did, we didnt check the dates we just threw them in, i know the older pennies have more copper but i used any ones i can find, to this day we do not have an ant problem, a few pennies in the pots will keep the ants away, it worked for me an i hope it works for you."

                  @Victoria I always insist our grandchildren not use their phones at the table! We don't use ours either, generally! We may check an incoming message but we don't write on them or read anything else till we have finished eating!

                              Took about one or two seconds to read the first line then after that didn't even notice the replacement of letters by numbers.
