Can you amaze two very young twenty-something boys? I can. I went to the cell phone kiosk at Costco to talk to them about my phone. I told them what happened and they couldn't believe it. I wonder what kind of stories that kill cell phones they can believe. They looked at me astounded. Maybe because they figured someone like me (old) would never do something so stupid (I do stupid stuff all the time, I guess the jokes on them). Anyway, they said I had to go to a T-Mobile store. Ok, I said. But they were too busy taking my phone apart to hear me. Once they got the phone back together they, again, told me to take the phone to a T-Mobile store. I looked at them and said, again, Ok!
I went to the nearest T-Mobile store and got a phone for 10 bucks. Sound too good to be true? Well it is. I had to extend my contract for 2 years which they charged me $18 bucks to do. Can you believe it? They will bleed me dry for an additional 2 years but I have to pay them to do it. In my next life I'm going to own a cell phone company ... and write text books! When I asked the girl if the card could withstand a bubble bath she said it should be fine. I was very relieved until she asked if I saved my phone numbers to the card. WHAT!!???? Good god, you mean you can save them not to the card? Who knew (everyone except me apparently).
As luck would have it, all my numbers were saved to the card except Petty Teacher's. How weird is that? Luckily, after about five minutes I remembered what her number was and programmed it in.
So, to make a long story short, I have a phone again and I don't have to email everyone I know to ask for their phone numbers. I don't have my cool ring tone but I bet my friend Robert will download it to my phone the next time I see him.

I must be getting 'old' too, because I don't know what 'wicked cool' means and where is lands in the Cool Meter: Is is better than Fricken Cool or maybe just as good as Way cool.
I just don't know?
Good job remembering my number. And I wasn't saved to the card because you have to save to the phone in order for a picture to show up when that person calls - did I have a picture or something that came up? Oh well - if Whit says your phone is wicked cool it must be awesome - therefore I am jelly that I am stuck with a boring pink razr :) Love you!
