Nanny Goats Soap Box
Wow, all that just to tell us "Happy 4th!" Thank you. And I don't know what I'll do if someone tries to make me go hands-free. Those bluetooth devices are SO DORKY.
Glad I sent some traffic your way. This convinces me to keep up with my Hump Day series!
well i WAS going to try to say something clever like "well pull up your big girl (nannygoat) panties and deal with it" but i was laughing too hard...
have a great fourth!
smiles, bee

You mean I'm not the only one who ends up hanging up on people trying to answer the damn hands-free thingie? And I bought myself a bluetooth and somehow left it in a suitcase that I then threw away 'cause "gosh, look how good I am at getting rid of extraneous stuff."
I feel so Old Economy with my wired earbud, but I'd rather put up with the tangles than look like a white, middle-aged, balding Uhura. Until they implant a chunk of plutonium in that Bluetooth, it's not worth the ridicule.
Good entry!
We just got new phones and mine has blue tooth. I really don't want to go around wearing the ear piece, so if the kids are in the car with me I'll still make them answer the phone for me. If I'm alone, I guess I'll wear the damn thing.
Hope you had a good 4th.
Peace out, I SAID PEACE OUT! LOL
I feel so deprived living here with not only no cell phone, but no desire to call or be called by anyone when in a car, restaurant, store, etc. Just a dinosaur.
I DO use the belts though. Survived too many broken race cars not to appreciate the benefits.
Well, guess I'll go out and listen to the owls & critters of the night since I can't think of anyone to bother at 0345
OMG. I am LOVING the plane decorations. ONLY Southwest Airlines would feel the need to "decorate".
I HATE the hands-free laws. They are so stupid because when someone calls you instead of just picking up the phone, you have to solve a rubik's cube to answer. Ya, that is WAY safer.
The speakerphone function is about all I'm willing to try at this point, even though, as you know NG, apparently there is a nasty delay and you and I keep talking over each other. I have to say, dialing through my phone book to find your number was far more dangerous than holding the phone up to my ear. And, when I use the speaker, where am I supposed to put the phone? It slides around on my lap and half the time I have to hold it up by my chest (NOT by my ear, God forbid!) in order to converse with any kind of comprehension. I'm with Mike S, though. I'd rather not talk on the phone most of the time anyway. We'll have to carve out a little time together on your birthday weekend so we can catch up properly!
decorations on an airplane? that has to be the funniest thing i have ever seen. they look like a kindergartner put them up...not centered or straight. unless they were going for the not centered/not straight look! yep...only on southwest airlines!
I like your new fonts, BTW. They are new...I have been paying attention, right? LOL
I was out in California last week--signs all over the place about the new law. At one point, there was a sign saying tune to 1610 AM for emergency traffic information and it was an infomerical for the new hands free law... Personally, I normally leave my cell phone on vibrate and in my brief case, except that on this trip I had to have it plugged in while driving as I'd forgotten the electrical recharger and only had a car one... Oh well, and there was a screaming child in the seat in front of me on my way back and an 80 year old in front of him who also had it out with the flight attendent and then the pilot on whether or not he could use his oxygen machine in the plane... did I make it home safely.
Enough ranting from me... I enjoyed your post.
So glad to see that there are others out there that don't go for that bluetooth fandangled thingie .... can't bear it and as you said ... always forgot to charge it. Talking into nothing doesn't appeal to me - I feel so much happier actually holding a phone! Yeah I know ... I am old and resist change ..
We also have the hands-free law in SA - but you wouldn't think so if you say how many people disobey it ...
i gave you an award on my site...you have made me laugh too many times!
My grandfather would not have sympathized with the lament that the ear piece becomes awkward after 5 minutes. That would have been long enough. To him the phone was only to get a specific piece of information, or confirm a plan to meet in person. Get on, get off. That's it.
Wow, you are hilarious! I am now a huge fan, it happened that quick. Thanks for the laughing and the peeing of the pants.
Peace out.
I said PEACE OUT!
I do the same thing when I see a cop.
I'd say I'm afraid of racial profiling since I'm a Messican-American but I look whiter than Nicole Kidman after being held in an unlit basement for 3 years!
Maybe it's all the pot I carry in my trunk?
Just kidding coppers!
P.S.
If you're ever in a strip club (MALE) give me a holla!
that's when u should be perfectly allowed to slap the back of the head anyone that is that annoying!
there is NOTHING i hate more than when the person driving in front of me is on a cell phone. HATE
well, maybe when the person driving in front of me is TEXTING on a blackberry with BOTH hands.
Hands-free is awesome. It leaves my hands free to hold a blizzard in one hand, and text message in the other. I steer better with my knee anyway.
