You have the cell phone there. Give ol' Beth a ring. I'm sure she has a cell phone. I know cell phones are very valuable tools in emergencies and I understand that. But their use has gone too far.
All discussions are out in the open now.
Even intense arguments are part of the public wireless world. The cell phone is the vehicle to deal with the anger. I liken it to Dirty Harry pulling out his Magnum every five minutes and Luke Skywalker firing up his green lightsaber when he got ticked off. Now 99.999 percent of the population whips out the weapon of wireless communication as the way to vent frustration. My favorite are those lovers' quarrels that happen right there over the phone on Sanford Drive in the middle of UGA campus.
