Soooo.... - Page 1077

I was starting to think this was "GD loses the consumer gamble" week. First, without road hazard protection, I get a nail in my tire. Now my phone's busted. It can make and receive calls, but the display is nothing but back-lit blue. I've rebooted it, pulled the battery out, smacked it around. Nada.

So I was kicking myself for choosing not to get the phone protection plan as part of my wireless package. But I just took a look, and I think I'm going to come out "ahead" in this. I went into a Sprint store. They couldn't do anything because they don't have a service guy on site, and the closest one that does is closed on the weekends. But they guy figured it'd be ~$50-$60 to repair the phone. The protection plan costs $7/month. I've owned this phone for 20 months. So, $50-$60 vs. $140. I win.

Always good to feel like a winner.

It appears I have lost all ability to focus.

Yikes!

ETA: And I think I want a mojito. I doubt I will get one.

Everyone's camping. Jerks.

I think Sequoia National Forest needs to be a WiFi hotspot.

What LashBear said.

I have a splitting headache. Didn't drink nearly enough water yesterday. Or get enough sleep.

I'm not camping... but I've been able to relax this weekend just fine.

I'm auditioning a pair of these - Dark Side of the Moon never sounded so good. I don't think I'll be able to keep 'em, but I'm sure gonna enjoy 'em for a week or so.

Just say "Oops, the dog ate them, I can't return them now"....

**hugs** to everybody having stress.

I hear you on the sushi cravings.

I wish I were camping, too.

But I got 12 miles on my bike this weekend and an hour of yoga this morning so I feel a bit better.

TV sucks though.
