• The screen on my phone blanked out yesterday. I had taken it into the bathroom with me since I knew Gerry would call while I was soaking in the tub but I made sure that I had completely dried my hands, face and hair. But apparently I didn't dry off quite well enough. When I hung up with Gerry, my screen was blank and white. Once I got out of the shower, I used my blow dryer on it and managed to get the inside screen to come back up but then it disappeared again. So when I picked Gerry up from work, we went to the Verizon store to see what could be done. And what fantastic customer service we got. They exchanged my phone for a new one, no questions asked, and even moved all of my contacts over to the new phone for me so I wouldn't have to do it when we got home. I was so darn happy since I'd be absolutely LOST without my phone. (NT) -- Sandy, 8:07:20 am, Fri, 02/29/08
  • Wow Sandy, that IS really great service!! Must have been the moisture in the bathroom got inside of it!!
    kind of glad my two every is coming up soon...my phone doesn't seem to holding a charge as well as before...I did have an extra battery at home so I charged that one and put it in this moring to see if maybe my other battery is shot.... hopefully that is all that it is and I'll be good until my contract is ready for me to get my new one....

    • BTW...what phone do you have again? I got on-line today with a Chat guy from Verizon, and he did say the Samsung Gleam was a great phone (but what else is he going to say???) anyway, I forgot which phone you said you had...??? (NT) -- Kate, 10:59:14 am, Fri, 02/29/08
      • I've got the LG8600. And I know you're right about the moisture. Since I was still sitting in the tub, even though I'd dried everything off, I think my hair was still wet enough to put moisture into the phone. I could actually see what appeared to be water inside the screen. That's why I was jumping for joy when the screen wallpaper came back as I dried it with the blow dryer. But then it disappeared again. I'm just so happy that I didn't have to buy another phone. As for your battery, I'll bet the new one helps. Batteries, in my experience, only last about a year to a year and a half. After that, you might as well replace 'em. But you're due in May, right? Only two more months?? Getting excited yet??? (NT) -- Sandy, 12:12:48 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
        • Well if batteries only last about a year or so then I'll bet you are right and the new battery will take care of my problem....I double checked on my account, my new very two is up in July...I was thinking May too...but nope, July....and yes, I'm definitely getting excited!!! **smile** (NT) -- Kate, 8:29:09 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
        • I'll have to look again, but I don't think I saw the LG 8600 on the website anymore....I wonder if it's been discontinued? (NT) -- Kate, 8:40:49 pm, Fri, 02/29/08

• Wish I was all caught up on medical stuff...mine is just beginning for the year I'm afraid....but what can you do?? First get this darn BP under control (took it at home this morning 128/70) then in June the women stuff comes around....Always something!!
  I did call the doctors' office this morning though...I never gave it a thought on Wednesday when I was there, but my fingers are completely numb when I wake up in the morning, I have no idea if this has anything to do with my BP or with the Raynaud's but thought I'd better let him know.... (NT) -- Kate, 9:11:42 am, Fri, 02/29/08
  • Your BP this morning was great!! But I don't think I ever feel caught up on the medical stuff. Since October, I've had my mammogram, blood pulled twice, two visits with my internist, two with the rheumatologist, and just this week was the GYN and the dentist. Once I get my osteoporosis scan done, it'll be time to see the internist and the rheumatologist again. So it never stops. But hey, did you hear anything back from your doctor about your fingers being numb again? Is this the first morning it's happened? (NT) -- Sandy, 12:17:49 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
    • sure does seem like it's one thing after another when it comes to doctors and tests and stuff doesn't it???
      Yes April (the girl at the doctor's office) called me back this afternoon....I guess he doesn't feel the numbness in my fingers has anything to do with my BP or the meds....and he didn't feel it was anything to be overly concerened about...that it was due possibly to the way I sleep, which is entirelly possible, or due to my Raynaud's and if not those two things...I've also got Carpal Tunnel in both wrists...so it's probably a combination of all of the above!! I'll talk to him more about it when I see him in April.....I just feel better knowing he doesn't feel it has anything to do with my BP.... (NT) -- Kate, 8:38:59 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
  • Yes, 128 over 70 is good right? Hopefully it will stay that way for you. (NT) -- Ramona, 2:22:44 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
    • yes, this is really good, especially for me..but then it usually is pretty good when I take it here at home....it's just when I go to the darn doctor that it likes to spike....like I told Dr. Stokes....he's looking at me not knowing why on earth it was so high and I said , yep, it's high, but could you just imagine what it would be like if I didn't like him as my doctor..then it really would be high!!! He just laughed...because the truth is I really do like him..and trust him..and love the girls in the office too....I guess I've got a severe case of "white coat syndrom" (NT) -- Kate, 8:26:12 pm, Fri, 02/29/08

• Your having Spring and I'm finally having winter. We are expecting snow again. Not much though. 3-6". But I'll take it. I miss it. I never thought I would grow up to like snow, but now I do. And this year is like so depressing. All we get is that darn ice and so little snow. But tonight, here it comes! (NT) -- Ramona, 2:20:27 pm, Fri, 02/29/08
