I think that when girls become moms they turn into worry-warts. Moms are pretty nice, but they like to tell you what to do. And they want you to stand still so that they can hug you all the time and say things like, "You can't get any older or taller, and that's final!" Then they get mad when you roll your eyes, and tell you in that voice they have, "Just wait till you have children!" And then they go look at your baby pictures and cry.
I wonder . . . am I gonna' be like that? *shudder*

I think you just described me and my kids. LOL! YES - I guess it's a MOM thing!

Hi DE,

I think that when girls become moms they turn into worry-warts. Moms are pretty nice, but they like to tell you what to do. And they want you to stand still so that they can hug you all the time and say things like, "You can't get any older or taller, and that's final!" Then they get mad when you roll your eyes, and tell you in that voice they have, "Just wait till you have children!" And then they go look at your baby pictures and cry.

Yes, technology can be a pain in the a**e (to use the British spelling)! Sabbath Mode!! Oi Vey, whatever next?
My Nokia phone is 10yrs old, and I see no reason to change it, unless it dies or gets lost...

So you come from a farm family? It's easy for us to forget with all the technology we have that we're all on this earth because of the top couple feet of soil and the right amount of rainfall. God bless the farmer.

A friend of mine recently lent me a effects pedal he wanted to sell. I thought I'd give it a try and maybe buy it from him. It was a Digitech with all the bells and whistles. I read thru the owners manual before I ever plugged it in. I thought reading the manual would give me a heads up on how it works. I got the tuner and the effects that he last used and could not change to any other effect. I reread the manual. Still I couldn't figure out how to operate the pedal. I called him and told him after a couple of hours this wasn't for me. He told me he had problems trying to remember how to get it all working and had bought a different one that was easier to operate.
I think it's great that those that are savvy can operate this stuff and enjoy it. But I'm like Ed and am starting to feel I belong in the Stone Age. Joe

just for your info,,, the higher end digitechs, (well even my rp250) pulg into a computer and you can reach all the effects that way. I have a very old lap top deadicated as a guitar effect so I can easily change the stuff and store/save /. program the effects. doing it manually with the nobs is teidious. My kids have rp 70 and bp80,,, still have not had to get the book out as they like what is storred in them.

Hey Beamer, whats a sim card and can it be installed with a cresent wrench and a hammer?

LOLOLOL sometimes you might think so,,

ATT phones still have a little microchip card called a sim card. its simple to get to, take off the back of phone and either slide it out of its place or open the little catch and BAM its out and ready to go to the new GO phone or gee whiz phone that ATT makes. (You can use a hammer or screw driver to destroy the back cover whilest removing the back cover if it makes you feel better ) :-)

Glad I'm not the only who needs just a phone. I'm in construction and I need a small phone that will fit in my leg pocket. It need to be flip phone cuz I would smash a smart phone screen the first time I lean on something. I was looking to upgrade recently and there were only 3 flips available. I might be out of luck soon.

They're already selling the Borg implants. Except I think they're called "bluetooth", which is weird because they are neither teeth nor blue.

I am buried in cell phones all day long. It's the business I'm in. The cell phone is ceasing to exist, instead becoming a mobile personal computer. It is going to end up like in the old Star Trek TV shows where you just say "Computer!" and get an answer.

If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd never look at one again.
