Upside: my wife could get in touch with me at all times.

Downside: my wife could get in touch with me at all times.
Most cell phones include caller ID. Just don't answer. Let her call go to voice mail and just delete it.

What would you do without a facebook or PF?
The same I did one year ago, just without posts here.

Without forums, chats or any other communication tools, the internet would be (or look like) a lonely place, that is true. But that should not be surprising.
