……….Nope, I can’t.  Maybe if I had a mobile cell phone booster I could but until then, the title and “Are you there?” are going to keep coming out of my mouth.  You see, we live out in the middle of nowhere so the chances of the reception being clear are highly unlikely.  Back in the day, we had those bag phones but these days, you just can’t find them anymore.  They were awesome because they had the HUGE 3 watts of power and you could get service anywhere, even if you were between 2 mountains in the middle of a thunderstorm.  I know this because we’ve been there.  Awww, the good ol’ days. 

Today’s phones are designed for everything but providing signal, so hearing, “sssshhh, crackle, sssh, ccccc” (you get the drift) is a normal thing.  When you use your phone for other things besides visiting, then having good signal is essential.  Let me tell you why we need a mobile cell phone booster:

1. My kids are driving the down road to school and BAM, they have a flat with no spare and NO SIGNAL.  It happens more than you think and when you live down several miles of dirt road, the last thing you want to have to worry about, is being able to call for help.
2. My kids are sitting 50 yards from the interstate-1 hour from Mexico-by a train that often carries homeless folk, waiting on the bus when BAM, some crazy person is banging on the window.  They are trying to call 911 or us but guess what, NO SIGNAL.
3. My husband is out on the ranch calvin’ heifers, he needs some rope taken to him to help pull the calf because momma just can’t handle it–he calls home to tell me to hurry up and bring some rope, and then guess what?….NO SIGNAL.
4. The cowboy crew is gathering yearlings and moving the trucks to the pens when all of the sudden, a horse decides to turn into a wild bronc, bucks one of the cowboys off and then stomps on his chest leaving him there gasping for air.   The cowboy’s run to the pickup to call 911 only read, “NO SIGNAL” on their phones. 
5. I’m 9mths pregnant and my husband is out feeding cows in the his ranch truck.  My water breaks and I start to freak out because he’s not here.  I waddle to the phone to call him and let him know it’s time when, well, what do you think?…..HE HAS NO SIGNAL!  I have just delivered my own baby on my kitchen floor.
6. My husband ran into the mercantile to get some horse wormer and Dr. Pepper, leaving his lovely wife in the truck.  He runs into some fellas and starts visiting.  20 minutes later, the lovely wife has 2 options.  She can honk the horn, get out and tell him to hurry it up, basically knocking his manhood down a notch in front of the other guys.  OR, she can call him to discreetly let him know that she’s tired of sitting in the pickup waiting BUT since she has NO SIGNAL, she left with the first option.

And the list could go on and on…………………………….

If you haven’t caught on to why I’ve linked to that booster kit by now, then you must have a redneck education.  These booster kits give your phone the same power as those good ol’ bag phones but with even more to offer.  Not only do you get the whoppin’ 3 watts of power otherwise known as SIGNAL,  you save battery power, and get a money back guarantee.  It works with ALL North American carriers and guess what, that’s me!  If you have a laptop, it works with those too which is great because I start having withdrawals after about 1 hour and it takes twice that long for us just to get to town.  I would be able to check my emails without going into some kind of fit. 

I’d say that having one of these would/could save lives, save a marriage, prevent mopping, and would overall make us just plain happy!
