Thread: Restoring Order and Sanity to My Dinner Table!

Restoring Order and Sanity to My Dinner Table!

When this is released - I'm buying one, right now it's a rule, but soon it will be imposed!

Brilliant!

edit: Also, just noticed the sexism in the ad - "Gave these to frustrated Moms"...what, Dad's aren't fed up with this as well? I feel 'othered', time to file a complaint and let the public shaming begin, alight Twitter Universe to this InJustice!

That is a great idea. I wonder what the range is with one of those.

Makes me want to re marry, have a second family and play havoc on the house (my apologies to cry havoc and loose the dogs of war). But then again, solitary living (only the cat) has many more advantages to enjoy.

Sad comment on an ever more mindless society that this seems necessary.

The daughter throwing the cutlery down on the table and slouching back on the couch - priceless, could have been in my house - I put a dead stop to this last year, completely rude and unacceptable behaviour. Mind you, go to a restaurant these days and that's what you see. Couples supposedly out, and there they sit, staring into their phones.

If I was a single guy, don't think I'd fit in the dating scene, if a woman I was with did that, I'd get up and leave, pay my share of the bill, and explain to her later that I just don't do rude and people with zero manners.

As someone who works in technology, since the early 90's and had seen it's promise, it's unfortunate for me in many ways to see how today it has failed us, or we have failed to use it properly, in so many ways. It was supposed to free us, and as the video demonstrates, instead it has enslaved us.

Maybe because I only have a 5 year old it isn't as difficult, but we have a 'no devices at the dinner table' rule, and it is enforced (including us parents). This seems like a way to parent poorly, by not making and enforcing rules...letting the technology cause a "problem" so the parent avoids conflict.

No, there is nothing wrong with the technology just our misuse and abuse of it.

The last seven posts have been on a single topic which makes them off-topic for this thread but that is the point of the thread so.. wait, my head hurts.

A moose bit my sister once.

That looks very cool! If they market it, I will buy one in a nano second..
I have an old cell jammer that looks like a pack of marlboro I used to take out to restaurants and family dinners. Worked very well until cell phones went 4G and up. Was discreet and dropped all calls/text signal in a 50' radius. Peace and real conversations at meal time, short lived though it was..
Now that I vape, a pepper mill works better for me than a pack o smokes.. hehe.
