    Has anyone seen my cell phone?

    I have 2 cell phones. One is a Droid X, the other is an LG. I use one to talk (LG) and the other to text and check my e-mails with. I don't like the Droid for talking on because it so big the it feels like I'm holding a toaster up to my ear. Also, it gets so hot, it feels like I'm holding a toaster up to my ear. Also, the battery wears out so often, it feels like I'm holding a toaster up to my ear. I love the LG (oh yeah...it's a FLIP!) because I can dial it with one hand, and it's compact. Plus, if I use it to check on backorders, it doesn't break when I throw it against the wall.

    Anyway, I got home from work on Saturday, and only had the Droid w/me. I looked under the seat of my van, in the barn, on the kitchen table wear I throw my keys, under the cushions of my chair, on the bathroom sink, and everywhere else I could think of. I don't know where else to look.

    Any ideas?

    Use the Droid to call yourself on the LG. When you answer, ask yourself to look around and see where you are.

    I tired that, but it's on vibrate, and although I thought I heard it vibrating somewhere, I couldn't tell where. I think it might be in the kitchen, but I can't tell. You don't have it do you?

    No. There is far too much potential for excitement in having a vibrating phone. If it's an LG, you will find it when the battery runs low. It will emit a warning ring.

    Usually at 2am

    No, mine doesn't have the warning ring. Actually, I bought 11 of these phones on e-bay, for a total of $49 (free shipping). The reason is that I couldn't charge mine anymore, because the port was screwed up on it. For the same reason, I can't transfer any info into another phone neither. So, I use the ebay phones for charging purposes, and switch the batteries out. It works for me...except when I lose the good one.

    Did you check the bathroom floor of Pedro's Taco & Fried Bean Fajita Joint?

    In your haste to "make a deposit", it may have flipped out and killed a few of the cockroaches that hide behind the bidet!

    It's probably right where you left it, unless someone moved it and then you're screwed.

    You should really keep it plugged into an extension cord while you carry it around.

    I checked. I even crawled under the stalls to check behind each toilet. (Some of the guys gave me strange looks)

    My guess would be that your cell service provider stole it from you because they could no longer provide rotary dial service.

    Johns,

    Your phone called me last night!

    It is doing fine and misses you, but not missing how you treat it! Pal......I got to tell you, I got an earful! I heard all about how you don't use a snazzy carry case for it, you just shove it in your pocket. I heard how you have two phones and can't commit to one! I had to listen to the stories of you laying it down any old place, not putting it away like it deserves. I heard about the lonely nights in dirty, disgusting, seedy Cheap No-Tell Motels! I heard that you toss this around like an old cheap Safilo Team 7823! For cripes sake Man, what is wrong with you?

    Listen, friend to friend here................I don't know if your phone is ever coming back. It is REALLY upset. I think that you better take a good hard look at yourself Mister.

    All I can keep thinking about is that lovely Cinderella song, "Don't Know what you got till its gone"

    Fezz: As if. Did you even read what Johns wrote or were you skimming again? It's an LG. And a real dumb one at that. It doesn't even emit the usual 2am warning ring when its battery is running down.

    I have my doubts that Johns' LG called you at all. The Droid, maybe. An i-phone definitely. But the LG? Never.

    Well, I guess it's not coming back. I activated one of the other phones I had laying down, as I had to go out of town, and wanted to be (somewhat) accessible. That's all well and good, but all my contacts are gone.

    If I've ever had your phone number, due to selling you something, buying something from you, visiting you, you visiting me, UnExpo, VEE, VEW, or any other reason, and you think I should have it again, send it to me in a PM. If you are an SAO member, don't worry about it, I've got it on file.

    Thanks!
