A little something I've noticed...
...since my cell phone is now our main phone, and it's ringing so much more often nowadays, especially with calls from realtors, inspectors, family members, the school, friends, etc etc etc....
Every time my cellphone rings, I nearly jump out of my skin. :(
It scares the crap out of me. Doesn't matter what ringtone I use, either (f you're curious, it used to be peep frogs; now it's Morse code for "SOS"). If it's loud enough for me to hear, my heart tries to exit through my mouth.
I'm willing to consider that this may be due, at least in part, to certain "sensory issues" I have, mostly relating to sudden and/or loud noises, and (since my pregnancy) rapidly flashing lights.
Maybe over time, I'll eventually just get "desensitized" to it?
I guess I could just turn the ringer to silent mode, and learn to compulsively check it for messages every ten minutes or so... :(
I'm not sure that would be an improvement, overall. :(
Suggestions?
