Hello
I know the pain of having to say goodbye to your PC. I had mine in the shop for about a week and I didn't know what to do with myself. All my work, papers and er'thang was in the PC. I never even thought about saving stuff on a different drive or any other way.
But check this out, I lost my phone. well, I didn't lose it I left it behind on my last trip. Anyway, that's also some serious mess. I don't remember phone numbers and I am not prone to answer calls that I don't know. Just today my brother called (i got a replacement phone) and I didn't even recognize his voice. I asked who it was and he asked if I was playin'. Then I got a Private call today. Now, I don't even answer them. Why do people call "private" and want you to answer them. It's usually some past lover or someone that you didn't answer on a previous call. In this case, even if I thought I knew who it was, I couldn't call them back ( I missed the call) because I lost my dang phone with all my numbers in it. I couldn't even call my momma until after I called my sister, after I got her number by calling my brother-in-law who's number I knew because he lives in the house in which my wife lived in years ago. Wow, what a mess. In fact, I was stuck at the airport because I missed my first flight and no one knew when I was coming in. I sat there about an hour trying to figure out how I was going to get home.
Anyway, I had to get that out of me. Good Grief - part 2. |

I share your pain, Carey. I'm a phone loser myself. I once went through 4 phones in a 7-year time span. I guess I haven't fully adjusted to the idea of having to carry around a phone as part of my daily essentials. I've never been one to yap on the phone as most women tend to do. I have a 1000 minute monthly plan, and every month I have 200-300 minutes left over. I'm throwing money away, I know, but I don't want to reduce my monthly minutes - never know when I might need to use them. But it's nothing for me to lay my phone down then realize hours later that I don't have it on me.
The salesman I bought my last phone from told me he also had a bad habit of losing his phone. He gave me a tip to check and make sure I have my phone on me before leaving whenever I am at the moment. He said to think of my phone as my wallet/purse/keys. (I've never lost a set of keys in my life, btw). And he told me each night when I return home to download the info on my phone to my home PC as backup because I have lots of documents, notes, and appts on my phone. It took me awhile to get in the habit of doing that, but now it's part of my nightly ritual.
With all this technology popping up everyday, sometimes I think this world isn't built for those of us over 35. The younger generations seem to adapt to new technology instantly, but those of us with a little (or a lot of) snow on the roof seem to need more time adapting. I bought my mom, she's in her 60s, her very first microwave about 9 years ago. Would you believe it's still brand new in its original box! She says she doesn't trust that "gadget" cuz food ain't sposeta cook that fast. And her cell phone - forget about it. Every time it rings, it scares the hell out of her. She actually jumps. I laugh my head off each time, and she tells me that ain't funny cuz people aren't sposeta walk down the street and start ringing. |

LOL, Urban_scribe. Your mom reminds me of my friend's mom. She thought the new TV that her kids bought her had to warm up before it would work (like in the olden days, apparently...).
And no matter how much her kids try to convince her otherwise, she persists in thinking that prostate exams "turn" men gay and feels that no man should get them. :-(
When I want to be entertained (or disturbed), I just call my friend and ask her what's the latest with her mom. |

Hello All,
I have confession, I lose my keys and wallet all the time. I don't know why, but ever since I was given keys and wallets as a kid to know, for some reason I can't keep track of them. A few decades ago, after losing my keys/wallet for the upteenth time I decided that I will have back ups. I have two sets of IDs, one in my wallet, one in my house. My mother, brother and cousin have spare keys to my house. My brother had a spare key to my truck. Ironically, I just lost my keys a few weeks ago, including my work keys, which hurts because I have to pay to replace them.
Interestingly enough, I don't lose my cell phone. Every so often I have to replace them and then I lose my numbers. One day I got smart and noticed that my iPod is synced with my Outlook. I have almost all of my contact information in my Outlook. If I dont have the phone number in my cell phone, I go to my iPod and there it is. |

Hello
Man, these posts are crackin me up! I'd bet my last dollar that most can relate to every story thats been told.
I am not one to carry my phone on me at all times. Men generally say what they have to say and move on but there are some that just want to talk. You know the type. They might call and ask you what you are doing and when you say nothing they sit there and expect you to entertain them. That used to bug me and I'd feel compelled to open a conversation. I don't do that anymore. I'll sit there and breev right back on'em. Sure will, I'll even put the phone down cause I know they ain't talkin' about nothin'. Every once in a while I'll hear them ask if I am listening and I'll say, sure am. Maybe that's why I lost my phone, I ain't in love with it.
When Ms. Scribe hit us with, "She says she doesn't trust that "gadget" cuz food ain't sposeta cook that fast", I fell out.
I tried to get my mother to carry a cell phone with her. Well, not outside, that suggestion would have been like asking her to drive a Cadilac, she's never driven a car. I just wanted her to be close to a cell phone in case she couldn't get to the house phone. One day she said she had a little trouble getting out of the bathtub. She said the only thang she worried about was a bunch of white men coming in her house and taking pictures of her while she laid there all wet and dyin'. She wasn't worrying about dying because she believes she knows where she's going when she leave here. I told her that she could hurt herself and before God takes her home it's her responsibilty to do everythang she can to stay her. She said, "Besides, I ain't takin' no telephone nowhere near my bath water because it could fall in the water and lec-ta-cute me". She said if she died in the tub that would be a good way to go home, she'd be all cleaned up.
I was like Thump, I gave my brother a key to my house but I won't do that again. I came home one day and he was frying chicken in my kitchen. Hold up ......AND he had friends with him. He said that since he had a key that meant I trusted him. So, I guess that meant to him that I trusted he wouldn't eat up all my food and that I would clean up after HIS party. OH NO, I got my key back!
I am feeling Kitty's friend on that prostate exam thang. Well, you know, I've had to get a couple and I swear ol'doc was playin' around a little to long back there. I asked him what he was looking for and he said all kinds of stuff. I don't know if he found what he was looking for but I had to shut down that gold mine. I mean, the man had a look on his face like it was more than a job. You ain't saposta *lol* have a smile on your face when you have your fist up another mans behind. I don't know, I think I am going to take somebody in with me the next time I have one of those exam. I am not going to take my lady because that just ain't right *LOL*. I think I'll take my momma because she done seen my naked ass and she never trusted dem doctors in the first place. Huuumph, my sister was about 30 years old before my mother would let her go in a backroom alone with a doctor. Are you kidding me, momma said all dem white men love black women, and doctor or not, she ain't havin' it.

For me, a cell phone is strictly for emergenies. I carry mine with me when I go some place alone so that if I have car trouble or any other problems I can call for help. On my answering machine message I sound like stammering retard. It took me the longest time to remember what my number was, a number which, incidentally, is one digit away from that of a hospital. Which is why most of the cell phone calls I get are people asking to be connected to patients. I have my little routine down pat. I politely tell then they have dialed the wrong number and supply the correct one, and send them on their way with a "have a good day". I feel like I should be on th hospital's pay roll.
My purse is a treasure trove. It contains everything I need to function in life, including a collection of credit cards. I am obsessed with the idea that I'm going to lose it or have it stolen. When I go shopping, I strap it across my body and keep it clutched under my arm, constantly patting it to reassure myself. A purse snatcher would have to pull me along with him if he tried to grab it. At least once a month I dream that I've lost my purse and I wake up in a cold sweat, after which I settle down and exhale in relief. Pitiful. |

I keep my cell phone in my pocket. Once, back when my youngest child was just toddling around, she followed me into the bathroom. While I was "going", the phone fell out of my pocket and onto the floor, unbeknownst to me. When I turned to flush, BabyGirl snatched up the phone and tossed it in the toilet.
The plumber had to take the toilet up off the floor to get the phone out. Then his dumb ass had the nerve to ask me if I wanted it. |

prostate exams "turn" men gay I'ma have to borrow that one!
Men always complain about getting the exam, but it is better than dying, unnecessarily, of prostate cancer.
Besides, I have more sympathy for the poor doctors that have to shove their finger up all those rectums -- yikes!
I lost my iPhone a few weeks back. I logged onto the the web site and found a few short calls made from my phone after I lost track of it. I had the phone disabled.
I brought a new one, plugged into my PC and everything was restored as if it was my original phone; contacts, 3,000+ songs, applications, emails, even text messages. Pretty neat -- defintely better than pencil and paper.
The only problme was the cost. I'll probably have to make a homeowners insurance claim. |

Right up there with black men who don't take their high blood pressure meds because of the impotency side effect...and end up dying of strokes. |

Lets talk about vaginal itch.
Not too much to say about that besides: soap, water, Monistat, no bubble baths, no douching, no overly tight pants, wear cotton draws, take acidophilus (or eat yogurt) if you have to take antibiotics, and don't let your va-jay-jay have a revolving door on it. ;-) |

ooookaaaay, when I find "my" va-jay-jay I'll keep your advise in mind *lol*. Tell me, is that what some might call poomtang?
Lets see, we started with broke down PC's and we find ourselves at O.P.P. ...wow. |

 Ladies, ladies! And here all of this time I thought the cure for vaginal itch was a stroking penis.  |
