Many people now have given up landlines and rely on their cell phones even more than before, making cellphone separation anxiety more and more common. (Dreamstime/TNS)

Cellphone separation anxiety has become so common, and we don't talk about it much (probably so we can keep glancing at our phones). I was never attached to my phone until recently. 

As our remodeling project got going, I gave my phone number to all the workers and all the stores, and it has not stopped ringing since. So now my phone travels wherever I go.
