AIR HEAD

OK, more airport drama..well, not exactly drama just me being me. As we went through the security line, I started beeping when I went though the security point. The agent asked if I had any metal on me.. no, just rings but that never set off the security alarm. Oh, hey I have my cell phone in my pocket. The agent asked if I thought maybe it was metal.. Uh, no and he was looking at me like I was an idiot. He said what about all the parts inside? HUH??? Well, he said just put it in the bowl and send it through the X-ray machine. Ok, no problem I can do that. So doing that he once again says "you don't think your cell phone is metal?" I said no, I thought it was plastic.. he rolls his eyes and says what about the metal inside? HUH??? OK, I guess so.. He just rolls his eyes again and waves me through. Who knew? I didn't even think about the stuff inside the phone.. so now you know, cell phones make the security thing beep..
Sometimes I'm so blonde.

Grrrrrrr

Since this hands free thing with the cell phone went into effect I've been looking for a new phone for my husband. Needless to say he is a totally technologically challenged. Both his phone and mine were too old to have Blue Tooth capabilities so I got my self a phone and have been looking for one for him. Last night on a whim I stopped by a T-Mobile store to see the actual phones (I'd been looking online) and see if it was something he could manage. I found one that he could upgrade to for free- a slider phone. If you want to make a call just slide the face up and your keys are there.. I thought surely he could manage that. So I purchased the phone plus 2 hands free speakers (I sent my blue tooth ear piece back) since they were on sale. I also got a new home phone system. T-Mobile just came out with it, it's like Vonage that runs through the internet and Wi-Fi if I understand it correctly. It was a good deal since they were giving the router for free yesterday with the purchase of a 2 yrs contract. $10.00 a month unlimited local and long distance and I can keep my old phone #. I thought that was great since I HATE AT&T!!! So, I get home show him his phone and the speaker and he just glares at it.. decides he's keeping his old phone! Says it's too complicated, makes a project of sliding the face plate up and down and totally irritating me. All I have to do is place his old SIM card in there and he's good to go..but NO! So I packed it all up and it's sitting here ready to go back. I just know the minute I take it back he's going to decide he needs a new phone. Good thing I have 30 days to return it. I was really irritated and pissed last night after all the time I spent looking online at phones and then going and buying one and I'm still pissed! I really love to shove that phone where the sun don't shine, but then I doubt they'd take it back.
