    Good idea Rotti. I've thought for a while now, why inexpensive devices like it can't be put in all cars, by parents, so the kids don't have any choice but to shut their phones off when they drive... as soon as the ignition is turned on... no phones... :yes:

    I don't think one of these would work on my wife. She reads a book while she eats dinner.

    Stealth...I like it. Of course its too bad more parents just don't take more control of their little shi....er angels and take the devices away if they don't obey them. :)

    Not a bother. If she's got something to say, she'll say it after dinner when we're drinking a beer. Though I do hope she's saving all her spent candles for me to make firestarters.
