I got more sad about losing my old phone when I realized old texts I had saved will be gone. I stupidly was thinking I oculd just forward tem to myself and forgot that my old phone lost its signal when I activated my new phone. At least they will always be in the old phone which I will keep forver and ever like everything else in my life.
I saved a lady like hundreds of dollars by helping her sign up for EPIC today. I love doing that. People get excited about that stuff. Especially when it is like between getting their medicine and eating and then I give them the opportunity to do both. Old ladies love that stuff.
Eckerd finally came through with a somewhat raise after all. I guess it is ok for now and I know my District Mangare fought really hard for it so that felt good but still I feel it is a stupid company yet I love it like an abusive lover.
I'm afraid people at work are gonna think I am on an amateur porn site and so I am not putting my bumper sticker on anymore for a little while. Too many customers mention it and I don't wnat the going to estrip.com and thinking I do that. ... well unless they are willing to pay me to see that...haha
I don't see the Golden Girls as much as I used to and I think that adversely affects my attitude.
Me and (e:terry) are getting serious about pharmacy school. WOohoo!

Texty and Saving An Old Lady's Finances11/26/2006 23:23 #29074
New Cell PhoneSo my old cell phone has been really broken more and more each day. It's most recent thing was answering and hanging up on people without even ringing so I never would know they called. 1-3 also didn't work and the power button only worked sporadically causing me to leave like 5 minute voice mails because I couldn't end the call.
Anywho, so I went to Sprint to get a new phone today and signed up for a new plan. I did'nt really like any of the phones. They all were bleh. I don't need/want a fancy like blackberry or anything. Just a simple flip phone with camera. My old phone had so many nice features that these don't have such as like showing the person's picutre on the outside, a camera with flash and a polar bear who did things like wear capes and pumpkin masks and shot you with a machine gun and ate hamburgers. This new phone has none of that. I don't know maybe I will return it for a different one. I think you get 14 days to change your mind.
Also, does anyone know of a way to transfer pictures from my old phgone to this one> i think it is impossible at this point but that is sad cuz there were so many good pictures I can never get back ever. : (

the polar bear truly became a staple of all our lives and will be greatly missed. i think you should try your hardest to find another phone with a polar bear but you may be setting your goals too high. regardless you should get a phone you like! as long as it has a picture with my unusually large boob and you stop sending me freakishly huge text messages with 6 pictures, you will be set for life. i'm not sure what i just said make sense. anyway get a new phone if you aren't happy with it. and i am super excited to see rent!! where are you going to take me for dinner afterwards??

Ok mike, every time you post I have the same gut reaction, but I never post it b/c I think it will come across wrong. But dammit, I can't help it anymore. I freaking love you. You crack me up. I totally want a polar bear that eats hamburgers and shoots at me.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!I love Thanksgiving. It just involves eating mass quantities of food after a night of drinking mass quantities of alcohol. What better kind of day could you ask for. Every year when setting up the tables we cannot figure out a way to make everyone fit. Seriuosly why can we not remember from year to year. It always takes forever and we come up with a totally new solution every year. You would think we could remember but we can't. It is really ridiculous. We have a completely new way of doing it this year so maybe (e:paul) will post a pic when he comes alter. It really opens up the room a lot yet keeps everyone close together. I think it is the best possible setup. Ok everyone enjoy pigging out!

Rosie and OJSo I am sure you all heard OJ's book deal and interview were cancelled due to the outrage. So I guess people talking about things does not always necessarily mean more money or more success for the thing being criticized. Sometimes outrage does make a idfference.
On another note: Rosie O'Donnell has gone whacko on the View. On Live with Regis and Kelly today Clay Aiken was filling in for Regis and he at one point covered Kelly Ripa's mouth with his hand. Kelly then said "don't do that I don't know where your hand has been"
On the View later that morning Rosie said that it was a super homophobic thing to say and that kelly was just saying that because people question Clay's sexuality. Ummm I tihnk Rosie is crazy. Like isn't her saying that almost more ridiuclous. Like making a big issue out of nothing. Kellyw as like um no it is cold and flu season and also just kidding and in general just you dn't know where anyone's hands have been. Rosie begs to differ. Rosie is crazy. End story.

Headed for financial ruin?We are watching a show where like these people who spend way too much or can't handle money get an adivser to help them get their finances straight and then they get their dreams or something. Well this lady spends $2,000 a month on party/clothes. I thought wow that is crazy , then (e:paul) noted that I spend a lot on that too considering I have very few expenses besides my student loans and car insurance and stuff but don't' pay to live so all the money I make goes to party/clothes well and numerous housewares for a home I don't have...
I thought the (e:strip) bumber stickers where a great idea. I did put mine of my fridge but I don't have a car. Not sure if you know a good lawyer who you can just ask questions to. But what would happen if someone in the dark of night put bumber stickers on radom cars, trucks and buses. The other idea again this might be illegal not sure would be to put them on street signs the ones that face walking traffic on elmwood not the street just a couple ideas. Or maybe even put some bumper stickers on light poles.
I loved the bumper stickers. It's a great idea and I'm not deterred by what the Eckerd Clientele might think. We ought to take some of the extra and surreptiously slip them on to some of the street signs along elmwood for the holidays. It's nice word of mouth advertising. To throw money at Jamie Moses and other venues would be a waste of the estrip.org resources.
how can you say that the bumper stickers were a bad idea? i loved them. maybe they were expensive, but that's only b/c so many people did not contribute when they could have. everything costs money, if we want to advertise, we have to pay for it. i still say we should charge for entrance to parties. $3 is not unreasonable, is it?
What we need is some new sort of new advertising/publicity campaign. The bumper stickers were probably the worst idea ever. Not only were they outrageiously expensive. I still have like 100 of them and most people put them on their fucking refrigerators.
I find it amazing that this has never come to light in the last 3 years. Maybe you can be in charge of that mike with your advertising and PR background.
Oh god. Our car is covered with bumper stickers! We most look like such weirdos to some people.
we do totally need to hang out, if they ever let me out of work or school. ive been trapped in solitudeness, and have been behaving and looking way too much like a proper lady. i have much good things to tell, as i know you love the gossip...and i have gifts. love sarbear.
