Texting

They don't make my phone anymore.  It has a built in handle that you can attach a carabiner to, so you could clip it in to any piece of equipment.  It is waterproof and floats - I accidentally tested this out twice.  I have dropped it out of the Jeep, down concrete steps, and on about every hard service there it and it still works.  Except for the big drops of super glue on the body and clock part (from when I was fixing the leather couch) it is in PERFECT working condition.  It is an old school cell phone. 

It is not made to send text messages.  When you get a response from me that looks like I am having a stroke (I w hil call ynd soom), it is the limitations of the phone.   When I try to send a text that is over 4 words long, I end up swearing at my phone in public.  Actually holding it out in front of my face - in the palm of my hand (because I think there it can hear me) and calling it a f**ker.   It is always hard to regain your composure after someone see's you doing that.

In the interest of staying in touch with you both on a more regular basis (regular basis is more than weekly) I went to the phone store.  I found a phone that has a big assed slide out keyboard that I can find they keys without my reading glasses.  It is the kind of phone that I have always made fun of my friends for having.  I am trading in my man phone for a fully functional phone.  I will go get my phone when I get back from GW and feel that pang of having you both gone.
