Wet cell phones don't work well and to quote an old phrase "Where's the beef?"

*
Well, it finally happened.
I’ve had a cell phone for around 10 years and always took care of it and they lasted forever it seemed.
Everyone else replaced their phones on whim with fancy phones & I stuck to cheap basic phones without anything I didn’t need.

So after only 3 phones in all that time (and one had to be replaced because some functions wouldn’t even work with upgraded service package… does that count?) it seems that I finally trashed one. I think I've only dropped a phone twice in the past no less into water...

I dropped my phone in a half filled cup of water. So needless to say it isn’t doing that well at the moment.
My son took it apart and dried it but the battery won’t work at all. He put a new “old” battery in it and now it’s charging.
Will see if it works tomorrow. If I’m lucky I won’t need a new phone.

Got my ticket to see Bill Maher and Ann Coulter part of the 2009 Speaker Series at Radio City Music Hall next week.
Should be a lively debate/discussion. Will be good to be in the city again, been a while as money’s short right now.

And get this: I purchased a $10 bus ticket to DC from NYC to visit son Collin. Bolt Bus. Amazing price. Visiting for a few days. Also going to visit a dear friend I grew up with in Virginia. Haven’t seen her in person in over 10 years.

So Rush Limbaugh is still talking as if he is in charge of the republican party. Seriously?
The party can’t decide whether they love him or want to distance themselves from him because of what he keeps saying.
Creating a bit of a problem for those that disagree with Rush and state it because then Rush goes after them too (like Michael Steele).
Golly Gee with a friend like that who needs enemies?

What’s with the Back in Black outfit Rush was wearing and the open collar? Sunglasses and he’d be Roy Orbison, or was he going for Johnny Cash? Maybe if he added gold chains. I just don’t know. You a bad boy Rush, you be bad. (Meant only in a good way of course…)

If people put as much effort into doing constructive things and finding common ground instead of calling each other names, pointing fingers and wishing each other ill, we would have a far better climate to debate in.
(Just look at the comment sections of any article on politics and you’ll see the vehemence on both sides)

Also we could use a president that called everyone to action. Unified us against the economic mess.
Said something other than “buy stuff” a la Bush.
We need to help each other because by the time the government sorts anything out so many will be out of work, home and health insurance. An economic readjustment indeed.
We should be helping each other and being more proactive about what America needs to not only get through this “recession” but to improve our standing here and throughout the world.

If we don’t have money to help and a large portion of us are simply trying to live within our means and take care of our family-what can we do, what would help and where do we start?

Now there’s a million dollar, er trillion dollar, question.
G'night for now.
