I've had a smarter than me phone for about six months...Yesterday I texted a pic of a truck brush guard.....sold it today....so.....yeah it comes in handy....I got it in an OtterBox so pocket carry does it no harm...

Back in my very wild younger days I lived in a single wide trailer down on my Grandpa's farm....The washing machine was in the bathroom...One night I was rolling change in the kitchen as I waited on my clothes to wash..What the proble was I never did figure out but the washer would stack the clothes all on one side as it washed...When the spin cycle started the washer would walk all over the place...This evening it walked on over too the toilet and shattered the tank....I drug the washer to the door and pushed it outside...Making dang double sure it couldn't ever be fixed I emptied a 12 guage into it...I shoulda removed my clothes before I shot it up...Broke to start with and needing a new washer and toilet.....Well....I had to wear those shot up clothes for a while there...

My current washer has a glitch in the lid up or down switch...Adjust all you want it matters NOT!!! Let it fill with the lid shut and it just sits there...One rap on the lid near the switch and it runs through a complete cycle...

Spent the day in the junkyard...I picked some newer power mirrors for the new truck along with a couple of mirror control switches...also grabbed a good selection of headlight and other bulbs...Also scored the upholsetry for the bottom of the driver's seat...Dolling up the old truck for the Craigslist will continue tomorrow...It's gonna rain supposedly...

Hey LD, the rain is getting old but I will take 65 degrees in mid August anyday! :D

On this day 28 years ago, Miss Not-Wharf agreed to become MRS Wharf and I am truly blessed because of her (brilliant) decision :)

Wharf Congrats to you and the Mrs. I'm so glad for both of you.

LD I don't mind rain. If I did I'm in the wrong state. It's rain when it's 75 or 80 degrees outside that I hate. It's like being in a steam bath.

I never had a cell until less than a year ago. I have to say as a woman flying solo, it's comforting to know it's in my purse when I'm out and about. Darn handy when I'm in the grocery store and forget what Katie asked me to grab for her.

That only works if you remember to take the cell. Me - I normally forget to grab it when I'm heading out the door to do errands or walk Ben the Dog. :facepalm: What's even worse is that I sometimes don't even notice it's ringing even if I have it with me.

Edit: Good morning/afternoon everyone.

I hardly ever take mine with me either. It sits on the headboard but I should start carrying it with me for emergencies. That's how my last one broke. It was in my pocket and I guess the keys went through the screen so I had to buy this one I got. Still don't know how to operate all the functions.:facepalm:

Dee, LMAO @ you taking a 12ga to your washing machine!! I have no problem at all picturing that scene in my mind ;)

Sash, I don't have a problem remembering to take my phone with me, I have a problem remembering to check my voice mail.

Congratz to Mr & Mrs Wharf!! I raise a flute of sparkling water to you and wish you many more :wub:

Afternoon all!! I've run myself in circles to every hardware store in town looking for the shed door roller that I broke...nada. I'll search online to see what I can find.

Dr. switched me to a different PPI for my acid reflux. I was reading about it (pantoprazole) and got a chuckle out of the warning that it can cause false positives for tee h cee tests :laugh:

I hate phones. I think it's because of all the phone complaints I had to handle about my staff and regulations during the years I worked for the County - Social Services and Welfare Fraud.

Although I have internet on my phone it's not a smart phone and is a pain to see because the screen is so small.

And I don't text because it's 20 cents per text including receiving text.

Well I got my new ARO Bottom Coil Pyrex tank this morning. This one arrived in one piece. :) I'm using the bottom part and coil from the first one I received and put the new bottom and coil away. I love this thing it is so much better than a CE4+ the difference is like night and day. :2cool: :vapor:

PS- Even though it's red it still looks good on my black eGo battery too. It's a darker shiny metallic red. :)

Good Afternoon All! I just finished up a 4 day IV steroid treatment and now I taper down with oral treatment for a week. I feel like a steroid junkie. As bad as steroids can be in the long run, I am so thankful to be feeling better and functioning. :)

It did take me a while to catch up on the last few days; washing machines, laundry detergent, fans, malfunctioning hardware, cheap e-liq., and property maintenance. Oh, and happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Wharf! :thumbs:

I do have some bad news, my computer crashed. After paying Microsoft Tech Support $99 and spending, what seemed like forever, hours on the phone with a tech from India, I had to re-install my OS. Now, the tech did tell me that I would loose my document, files, etc, but he neglected to tell me that I would loose all my programs and drivers. And, he also left out, the $99 does not cover help to recover all those lost programs and drivers. I 'freaking' can't even get online because I don't have the driver for my networking!!!!! My daughter so graciously let me use her tiny tinny notebook to check my emails and reply. She's worried that I'm going to break her baby computer. I bought my laptop four years ago. Its a Fujitsu that cost me, on sale, $1200. I am totally at a lost as to what to do. Do I drive 45 minutes , one way, to Best Buy and let the Geek Squid fix my laptop or do I drive 5 minutes to the local Walmart to buy another laptop? I have about $350 total to spend. I would appreciate input! :cry:

Hey sluers, check out Tigerdirect or New Egg for a laptop :)

I have been on rounds of steroids before. By mouth and not IV though. I could just imagine how HUNGRY and AWAKE you were lol J/K but, they really do that to me. Sorry that you have to go through all of this but so glad that at least there is something that will help :)

Thanks Salem, I'll take a look at Tigerdirect and NewEgg. :)

I wished the steroids did that for me, LOL! When I get a flare-up the fatigue is so bad that I have to take medicine that will help me stay awake. It does increase me appetite though :(
