TGIFF!!!


What a crazy week!! Blew the tire on Monday going to work, cost $160 to get it fixed. Talked to my on Monday night and told him about the tire, to which he laughed and teased me about driving like a crazy woman. Got a text from him Tuesday morning, guess what??? He blew a tire on his way to work…. Moral of that story…. Don’t tease your Mother… karma is a BITCH Bud!! So of course I had to raze him about driving like a mad man and laugh at him.

Thursday was a stormy evening, so stormy that I left my car at work and work sent me home in a cab and gave me a voucher to get back to work this morning by cab…. Now I know the cabs will be busy this morning so I call 45 minutes before I want to leave and end up waiting for an hour. Not too bad considering. I get to work and get to my desk… can’t find my phone. “Oh crap, did I leave it in the cab??” I call the cab company and tell the dispatch I may have left my phone in the cab that picked me up at X and dropped me at Y. I let dispatch know I had been in a van (which narrowed the list down) I remembered what the cab driver was listening to on the radio and told dispatch. She knew exactly who the driver was. I gave her the phone number at reception to call and let me know if they find it. Then went to reception to explain what was going on. I went back to my desk where one of my coworkers asks if I had tried to call my phone, “No, I have no phone to call it and it is long distance so can’t call from the office phone” She hands me her phone and says I have unlimited long distance so try it. I called and no answer. I sat down to start work and five minutes later get an email from reception letting me know that my phone was there. The cab driver had dropped it off. He explained to reception that his passenger heard the phone ring (it had fallen under the seat) and that is when they found it, and because I had called dispatch he knew where to return it.

I was so very thankful. For most of us, our entire lives are in it. At least for me, my work schedule, all my , addresses. As well as my shopping lists, some of my writing, all the things I use every day. I started thinking, how have we become so dependent on our cell phones? What would you do if you lost your phone? Do you keep everything in it??

If I lost my phone I would lament some lost pics but otherwise would just go get another one ...... and ask friends to resend some pics lol

Drop in and visit my blog sometime, but you'll probably regret it

lol... true... I think I need to back up my contact list though... that was the scariest part. I hardly know my own phone number and I really don't know anyone elses, except my mother's home phone because it has been the same since I was 10...lol

What would you do if you lost your phone? Reconsider having a cell phone.

Do you keep everything in it? I have as little as necessary in mine.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I know you don't have a cell phone red... and was thinking you would say something like that... I on the other hand don't have a house phone, yet. Will probably get one when I get moved. Cheaper internet and television package with a house phone added Either of the companies I would go with for the service in this area both come with unlimited North America long distance too.... I would even be able to call the US free of charge... WOW, I can't do that on my cell.

Actually, I've had a cell since around August - and don't really like it. It is handy sometimes but that's about it. I don't do bundling because if i lose one of the services it is likely all 3 would not work. I had that happen with my landline and internet a couple times.

I am shocked I remember reading you didn't want one, but that was a while ago too. lol, teasing

I hear what you are saying about the bundles. However, in order to get what I want (have to have my racing channels) I have to do it in a bundle. I have been here for over 2 years and have only had the issue once, and all I had to do was reset the router coming in to the house. So it was not a big deal for me.

Two words: Back up! Data in one place is data you should consider not to exist. Not trying to be harsh, but backing up is insurance for your data. At a minimum store it in the cloud. Then if you lose the phone, go get a new one, sign into your accounts and all your stuff drops down to the new phone.

I know and I kept saying I should do it, just never got around to it. I can save it to my old phone, which I still use just for music and for my radio at work. I can transfer the data through my bluetooth. That is how we moved everything to my new phone when I upgraded. I just have to remember how to do it... lol

Everything on my phone is also on the cloud, which is shared with hubby. It would be inconvenient and expensive to replace it though My phone is also my computer and camera. I would be a little worried about the pics on my phone, but they need my thumbprint or 6 character password to get in, and I also have a remote "kill switch" that I can use.


redhotfun4you2 replies on 2/11/2017 8:11 am:
I didn't have mine locked so anyone can get in to everything on my phone. I don't do anything regarding money on my phone, that is all done on my home computer. I might look in to that thumb print thing, that wouldn't be hard for me to use... I would forget the password. I have way to many to remember I have to write them down as it is. And those are all saved in my work email which is also password protected, although I can have that unlocked through tech support.
