Your World Delivered, but defective

I was having some problems with the WIXY/at&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam. You see, some of my keypad numbers didn't press too easily. My biggest problem was one of the numbers was "1" and I don't know any language but English.

So I call the at&t(formerly Cingular) 800 number for warranty service and was put through all the trouble shooting routines. I was informed that I would be getting a replacement phone within five business days. It come in three-so far so, good.

This re manufactured at&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam didn't come with a battery or battery cover, so I took the battery out of my old WIXY/at&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam and put it in the new one along with my Sim card.

Things were going well with my re manufactured WI-you know, when the display shown when the phone is closed started going berserk. I stopped that and went to bed. This morning I went to use the phone and the keys were locked. I can receive calls but I can't send them.

The good folks at the new at&t(formerly Cingular) were nice to me and are sending me another phone. when I get home after work, I will get the old WIXYat&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam out of the box I was supposed to mail it back in and use that until I get my next one. Lets hope I have better luck.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
