Plymouthy Adams Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 wife says only me..but after reading headlines and hearing some advertisements I just gotta ask ..who are these people..headline today...Cell Phone saves Woman from Sinkhole...ok..now the image in my mind is this little cellphone running to tie off a rope to a tree and taking the other end to this woman...NOT the fact that she was able to call for help with the use of her cell phone..no big deal here...just hit 911 pharmacy/drug ads...is believed to, is thought to...make up your mind..and then we have this one, stop taking this drug if you condition does not improve or gets worse...which one do they want it to do... I hate days when I got nothing to do..lightening within the 10 mile area..powered down... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Cell phones are getting new apps all the time. Maybe that one had the "rescue" feature. Quote
1940plymouth Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Tim, My wife and I don't even have a cell phone, so I guess it won't help her do her housework or any new apps, but I can tell you that your storm is headed our way, we are under a winter storm advisory starting tomorrow thur Friday. Enough snow already, winter just hates to give up this year Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Posted March 30, 2011 I guess it goes back to my youth, born out in the country in the house I lived in the next 14 years, delivered by my paternal grandmother..our house sat along side a dirt road..no when as a kid I would overhear the elders speaking of asphalt I always thought they were discusssing one of my unfortunate neighbors that had rectum trouble..

Don Coatney Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 when as a kid I would overhear the elders speaking of asphalt I always thought they were discusssing one of my unfortunate neighbors that had rectum trouble.. Somehow that goes back to cell phones. My wife called me the other day from her cell phone by mistake. When I answered she said sorry but she butt dialed. Now imagine the image I conjered up in my mind from that statment. I had no idea what she was saying as I was not cell savvy. Once my wife explained it to me I caught on quickly. Now when a tellemarketer calls me I tell her to dig the phone out of her butt as she must have miss dialed.. Quote
greg g Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I got a new app, its a jumper cable deal, where if your car is dead, you plug your cell into the power port and it starts the car, but only once............... Quote
Mustang6147 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I have a Chromatic Tuner on my Cell phone. Plus the usual weather, Stocks, and News apps. I also have a number of different calculators used ofr conversion SAE to Metric. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I don't carry a cell phone. People think I'm crazy. I tell them I'm holding out. "For what?" they ask. "For the revolution," I say. It confuses the heck out of them. Quote
greg g Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Hey Joe I was just kidding about the app. I am also and anti cell phone person. Can't understand more than two words out of ten, that the person is saying, Don't get more than a couple calls a month on the lad line, and they are usually pretty worthless. My wife has one and I will put it in the plymouth if I'm travelling. she carries it when we travel together. Just don't see the need. So we are probably the only two people over the age of seven on the eastern seaboard that don't have cell phone. Pretty exclusive club ain't we?????? Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I think they call us Troglodytes. I will carry a cell phone if I'm traveling. They're great for that. But I saw a guy one time at a buffet filling his plate up with food and talking on his cell at the same time. And it didn't sound like he was having a really important conversation, either. I thought that was outrageous until I was standing at the urinal one day, and in comes a guy talking on his cell phone who takes the urinal next to me. I wondered who he was talking to while he was doing his business. Then I heard him say, "What? Nothing." I imagined the wife on the other end, hearing the telltale sound and asking, "What are you doing?" First time I saw a cell phone I said to myself, No way. I'll break that within ten minutes. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I'm at work. I can't see it! Got to wait till I get home. Quote
T120 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 You asked for IT... Now that's real camaraderie. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Friends like that I don't need or want. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 From now on, I'm using the stall. Quote
randroid Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Gents, While in the Navy I attended a school located on a submarine base, and one night in the base club I headed into the can as two submariners left the urinals and made ready to leave. One went to a sink and the other went for the door. The one at the sink said to the other, "Where I come from we wash our hands after we pee", to which the other replied, "Where I come from we don't pee on our hands". I think that was the funniest retort I have ever heard and felt the need to share it. -Randy Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 I have one too. In the living room. It's an old black one from the 1930s and it actually works. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Well, if it was a whirlwind tour, it's understandable that you didn't get to Alexandria. What did you see? Quote
Oldguy48 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 You asked for IT... I'm usually more than willing to lend a helping hand....but I'd have to draw the line there. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Well, I'm glad to hear that, Don. Quote
