If it's not one thing......

Right now, I have been attempting to bring the WIXY/at&t-phonecam back to life. I think it contracted some moisture last night, and that's not good, especially seeing I've only had it a little more than a month.

I will get in touch with the good folks at at&t and see about getting a new phone. If it's going to be too much then I will go to the Evil Big Box Store(tm) and get a Go Phone for $15.00, put my sim card in it and see if that works.

But for now, I will try to dry the phone out and see if it will come back to life.

Now for me, a cell phone is more a necessity than luxury. I drive 46 miles to work, and I'm sure everybody knows about the WIXYmobile. I also have an artificial left knee, so a five mile walk in case of breakdown would be out of the question.

I don't need a phone that serves as a GPS, iPod, web browser, television, or brews my coffee. I just need one that I can make and receive calls on.

Dang! I wish I had an extra phone lying around so I could give it to ya!

My son did that G-Phone thing and it worked. He has T-Mobile. But could work with AT&T.

Worth a try.

I appreciate the thought Teri. I got the phone going now, but I think the battery is damaged.

I should have my situation taken care of in the next couple of days.

Funny how much we rely on those things nowadays.

Are you sure you don't want the kind that brews coffee? Might be nice to have a cup of coffee on those long drives to keep you awake. ;)

Just giving you a hard time. :)

Hope you get it fixed soon.

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...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
