thanks LLM
I knew you would understand my Pooh-less plight! It left me all befuddled in the head and all I wanted to do was stick my head through a hole, eat all the honey I could and then find that I'm stuck... which actually is a metaphor for my life if I think about it so I won't.

..they can be a pain... and a life saver... if the call doesn't drop...
I think we're all hard on them... or maybe it's just daily life combat... mine has a broken window... but so far no sticky tape...

You are hilarious!
I love your take on the youth of the moment. The butt covering thing I often wonder about too. Who can tell if anyone has an attractive a** anymore? Also my sister has a flip cell that is broken that your entry reminded me of and she is a student so can't afford a new one either. Oh well eh....if it still works,use it.ciao

I always get the phone

after going through a whole head dialogue like that.  

My last one got dropped in the toilet,

Can you hear me, Rob?
I swear, you remind me of Alec...  Alec has a clunker cell too... It's the size of Get Smart's shoe.   The bright side, it doesn't fit in his purse and he can always use it as a weapon.  Sometimes you hear him; most of the times you don't.  I sound pitiful as in the commercial..."Can you me hear me now?"  OOps, I mean Alec sounds dorky...       Melody

Actually, there's a benefit to NOT having a cell phone.
It's called an uninterrupted minute of peace and quiet. Like taking a walk and being able to focus on what's around you without someone chirping in your ear. Or shopping for groceries and thinking about what meals you will prepare, instead of having someone jabbering away in your ear. Or driving and paying attention to the traffic, especially all those distracted drivers talking on cell phones.  Remember sitting down to a nice meal in a restaurant with table cloths, without an inconsiderate jerk at a nearby table shouting out his personal issues to someone over a cell phone?  It's a good thing for the crazies, though -- now they can go down the street yelling an their invisible friend, and since they're holding a cell phone, nobody thinks they're dangerous.  :)pat

Are we in a bit of a mood today, Rob?  Is it because you've given away your Pooh bear????  (Sniff, sniff)....Cheer up, mate...You'll soon be in America.

As for this cell phone biz, I know exactly how you feel.  Somehow after Christmas, I have to seriously consider buying a pair of them.  One for myself and the other for my roommate.  We don't want to do it, but we both have family and friends who live long distances away, so it's kind of a necessity.  Still, I hate the damned things!!!!  Good luck with getting a new one for yourself!!

Now, as to the matter of the trousers down round the arse...I hate that, too.  I don't enjoy having people see my back end, and I most definitely don't enjoy seeing theirs!!!

Don't fret about that Pooh bear, love...It was really sweet of you to give it to your friend...I'll make you a deal...I'll send you another Pooh bear if you bring me a Tasmanian koala stuffy when you come here in November...What do ya say????

Take care, peachy...Hope you get feeling better soon.  If you need to talk, I'm willing to listen...
