We got a wonderful storm last evening and everything looks so fresh this day. Went to the phone shop when if first opened this day because after that time there are folks at each counter (4) 3 or four deep. Anyway it takes about an hour per person to set up a new phone and that is what it took us in there. I got the brand new "just in" Blackberry 9550 and it is a whiz. It came with a computer learning program and lots of handy hints and all the black wire thingies anyone would ever want. A plug in for every electrical connection any country could dream up. Whole box full. This day will be spent learning to know my phone. Right now I have it on a charger as I type. Crazy but the one thing I want to do first is get my pick it up, pick it up, pick it up ring tone installed. And I don't even remember where I got it in the first place but I will find it.
They say that this phone holds it's charge better than any other phone currently on the market. Will has to plug in his Droid just about every night. My old phone held its charge for 4 days. I wanted a Blackberry when they first came out and now that they came down in price I got one. Can you tell I am a happy camper? Who would have thought, I didn't, that one day we could send and e-mail on our phone. Technology has taken a giant leep during my lifetime. Our first cell phone was as big as a mans lunch pail and all you could do was make calls and receive calls. Now look at them ~ little things ~ hand held computers.DONNA FAYE I think I might just dry the jalapenos. We don't charge anyting anymore. Got rid of all the credit cards years ago and use cash or the debit card system. If we want a big purchase we save for it. It is such a wonderful feeling being debt free. Now you know you were supposed to take it easy but you had to go and over do it didn't you. Now you must take it easy for a bit. Please don't hurt yourself.
GLORIA There you are! Good to see you and hear what has been up with you. AH
and enjoy. With the economy going south we will be so thankful we did plant a garden. I look forward to when we can pick berries off the bushes we planted. I love berries.JEAN What kind of phone do you have? There are so many good ones out there nowdays to choose from. Today I had a choice of many colors for my case and stuck with black because after all it is a Blackberry. I don't text so opted for the touch screen kind that doesn't have the push keys but a virtural key pad. I could still text with it but couldn't go as fast as with the other kind. I like the touch screen. I had that on my other phone and could use a stylist but didn't. This Blackberry is a touch but not just a light touch so you don't make so many errors. You have to really touch the keys not just a light tap. The other aps are taps though.
OH ~ Will just came in and he bought me a red fishing pole. He got himself a blue one. Bobbers and sinkers and hooks and swiveles and snaps. Looks like we may just be going fishing soon. What fun.
Going out to Professors for lunch now for a panini. Type at y'all later.
Have a great afternoon and weekend that is just around the corner ~ just another wake up.
I doubt that I would use the internet hookup so opted out of that. I do text quite a bit, back and forth with the kids. I have used the camera and video, but not some of the other options. Bob just got a new pickup and his cell phone is tuned into the blackberry/radio setup so when he talks the cell phone stays in it's assigned cubby hole and the sound is through the radio speaker. I'd say it looks like you may be going fishing all right! 
A new truck? Bob got a new truck? What kind did he get? No, I looked till my eyes got blurey and didn't find that ring tome for I have settled for the sound of a bull frog croaking. Ribbit, Ribbit in frog language. I like it fine.
I hope you are doing well this day and taking it easy.
so measured the windows for new curtains and called it good. We stopped at the WM store there which is so much nicer than ours! The customers are more courteous and the clerks are smiling! There were 11 checkouts -- all busy and no waiting in line.
