I said I wanted a phone that you can TALK on-- you know the kind you pick up and use for VOICE communications!?!<BR/><BR/>I got a funny look from the salesman who immediately went into explaining the virtues of browsing the internet, data plan, etc.<BR/><BR/>However, in reading the comments, if you ever have extra Best Buy cards you don't know what to do with. . . . :-) I could "take care" of those for you, being a computer "geek" and all.<BR/><BR/>My problem when I go shopping is that I research stuff WAY to much. Just ask Diana when we went to buy a car. I just HAD to know how much head space there was, what the inches of legroom was, and the cubic feet of the trunk before I'd even test drive it.<BR/><BR/>Here lately I've been obsessing (educating?) myself on the new Intel i7 quad core chips as well as the latest in solid state laptop drives and how to maintain a proper digital backup with Windows Home Server. Been loosing a lot of sleep staying up late researching all of this so I can make the electronics store person give me that "blank" look when I ask them the FSB of the RAM speed to the internal clock of the thingamajiggy deal.Blainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170990147075748201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-82668784453319986122009-02-19T20:58:00.000-07:002009-02-19T20:58:00.000-07:00Just when I think your posts can't get any funnier...Just when I think your posts can't get any funnier, they DO! Oh, Eli, you are so hilarious :) I can just picture you trying to adjust to your new "high-tech" phone. You, the guy who had over a hundred dollars in unused Best Buy gift cards because you were too freaked out to go into an electronics store... haha<BR/><BR/>Anyway, congrats on the Blackberry!

First of all I gave you a very thorough lesson on the cell phone...and second of all I only treated you like a 12 year old becuase you explained over and over again that you needed my undivided attention and help. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am glad you got the blackberry! You will learn to love it!

I especially love how you are still so hillarious at your very great age. ;) I hope that you and your phone start getting along soon.<BR/><BR/>By the way, your first line in this post was awesome; you should write a whole novel with that as the opening line.Cecily Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869802891335483229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-45807022449098878942009-02-19T14:00:00.000-07:002009-02-19T14:00:00.000-07:00I can absolutely relate to this.

Not because I'd have to shell out the money for it, but because I knew that my current phone was so out of date there'd be no chance of finding a phone as low-tech as mine.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the foot fungus.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485337471339335531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-274810547740189092009-02-19T13:34:00.000-07:002009-02-19T13:34:00.000-07:00I love your blog, Eli!

You always make me laugh! <BR/><BR/>While you might not know how to answer the phone or make it shut up (try pusing the volume - aka "shut up" buttons on the side while it's ringing, BTW), the 14+ years I have on your 60 are really showing. I don't know how to text and quite frankly, have no interest in learning until I absolutely have to - which will probably be about the time that one of my 20 chidren living in three bodies decides they're all grown up now and need a phone of their own.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444891084585965661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-68041624912518601662009-02-19T10:43:00.000-07:002009-02-19T10:43:00.000-07:00haha, great story Eli, you're a very entertaining ...haha, great story Eli, you're a very entertaining writer.
