As you may (or may not) know, my cell phone, Lucky, once tried to end her life. It was after she was completely revived that we named her Lucky because, after her near drowning in the toilet, she was lucky to still be alive. Well, my friends, Lucky is suffering from side effects from her earlier suicide attempt. The specialists said that she might never be the same after what she had been through, but I didn’t believe them. And she was okay for a long time. It was over a year ago that the unfortunate event happened. However, some of her organs have suffered long term damage and are finally failing. It is hard to look at some of the rust on her and remember her once lustrous shine. When she cannot perform some of the simple tasks that I ask her to perform, it is heartbreaking. It may be time for her to go to the cell phone heaven in the sky. :((
Fear not, my friends! A replacement has been found. As much as I loved my Lucky, her replacement is going to be even better. It will be like holding a miniature computer in hand. Complete with QWERTY keyboard and all! It will be my first like it. I cannot wait. It comes on Friday. Jason searched long and hard (by that I mean that he researched and contemplated and bid and was out bid and bid some more and so on and so forth for days, even weeks on end) for a suitable replacement for Lucky. I think he did an awesome job, too. It will need a name when it comes. I don’t yet know if it is a boy or a girl. I will have to see when it comes. There is a way to tell these things, I am sure.
Wanna sneak peek?
Ain’t it beautiful? Or handsome? :-\
Hopefully this one doesn’t try to commit suicide.
Lynda, don’t buy what she’s selling. Lucky was PUSHED.
I like it when you put “Jason” “long” and “hard” in the same sentence.
Oooh, awww… purty!
Do we get to have a phone shower? We can all come over with presents, you can clean the house…..
oh never mind I forgot…
Very cool phone. I have a BlackBerry for work and just love it!
oooooooooo!!!!! I want one too!!!!!!!
My phone’s name should be lucky too. It has been dropped too many times, one time in a glass of iced tea. Alex has slobbered all over it many times, I have had to take it apart to be dried out many times. It doesn’t charge very well, sometimes I only get minutes on it. It will turn off in the middle of a phone call too. But, I can’t seem to part with it (or don’t want to spend the money on a new on)
It’s that hard Florida water what did her in. I always found it strange that she did the deed in the toilet instead of the ocean. It was a cry for help I tell you. She was just worn out from all the talking and texting, day in and day out, hour after hour… :d
Oh!! She’s nice! What’s THIS button do?? *
Mr. Fab – Do you realize the implications you are making? I mean, Finn was there too. You could be saying Finn pushed lucky! I think that would be an attempted murder. :-ss
Better to just go with Shelli’s delusion. :-\”
What are you going to name this one, Shelli? :d
Lynda–I know. That would suck.
I plan to keep this one on a short leash.
hmmmm so if I push a little harder perhaps my phone will have a “breakdown” and then I can get something cool… oh wait – I’d need to have a better carrier in my part of the world.
Fab–You have it for my husband, now? And don’t be sullying my name with insinuations that I pushed Lucky in the toilet.
Trish K–We might have phone naming party. I’m not cleaning the house though.
Shannin–I thought about a Blackberry, but I have really small hands and it was hard to hold.
Sarah–Ah, yes, the money. That’s a big one. We searched for a long time for one on eBay.
Finn–She was just a baby then! I don’t understand how her life could have been so hard already at such a young age.
MM–Don’t touch that one! :)) That’s the self-destruct button.
Lynda–I don’t think that Finn was in the stall with us, but I suppose anything is possible. I am not sure what I am going to call it. I have to see if it is a boy or girl first.
Fantastagirl–Accidentally drop it in the toilet. First move north so that you have better coverage.
It looks great!
Shelli hon, please tell me that after Lucky fell/was pushed into the toilet bowel you didn’t continue to use her next to your mouth, nose, and ears. No, tell me no!
Anyway, maybe you need to spice up your phone conversations. Sounds like Luck was bored. Not that I’m saying your conversations were boring, but you know how demanding cell phones are …
Hi, Your new replacement looks features packed…
It looks great to me…
