News that will make some of you very happy
I just bought my first cellular telephone.
No, you can't have the number. It's for EMERGENCIES. Besides, I haven't activated it yet, and won't until I need to.
What was my final impetus? A combination of a 4 am freeway breakdown, and a ride into the deep desert that was hell on the suspension.
The dude at Best Buy was dumbstruck when I told him it was my first. And even though it cost $20, they tried to sell me an "insurance plan" for $5.99. No thanks.

When I first got my cell phone, my son was just turning one. On a whim I got the insurance. After replacing three phone after different mishaps I was able to replace a $200 phone for $30. Three times. Then they canceled my insurance.

I am pondering the meaning of a "DOHDOH head"...?
would that be someone whose posts are double-plus signed and take up far too many lines in blog comment spaces? ;)
