I.C.E.

No, not the frozen kind -- I.C.E. actually stands for "In Case of Emergency". If something happened to you and you were unable to communicate, who would be called? Chances are the emergency personnel would pick up your cell phone. In my experience, they call whoever is listed as "Mom". But the best thing is to have a contact on your phone entitled ICE (you could also add a name after that). These days, emergency personnel and others know to look for the ICE designation and will make that call. If you haven't set this up already, why not do it today?

It's also good for non-emergencies, like losing your phone. I was a little worried when I got a phone call one day from a bus driver in New York using my son Austin's cell phone. But, thankfully, he was only calling to say that he found the cell phone on his bus. If that driver hadn't called "Mom", my son might have never even realized where he lost the phone. He didn't have a home phone, but I was able to send him an e-mail and he retrieved the phone the next day.

Enough said. May you travel safely throughout this life!
