There are days when I\u2019m out of town that I am in a library all day, largely because I don\u2019t live near a large genealogical library and I have to make the best possible use of my time. Consequently I do not want to be running to another area to have phone conversations when not necessary. Instead of using the cellphone for the occasional \u201cemergency\u201d back home, we text instead. Texting allows us to communicate with each other as necessary without me disturbing others in the library. And if a phone call is needed while I\u2019m in the library, I get a text indicating that. This allows me to communicate with home with as few phone disturbances as possible.<\/p>\n
