    It's too bad they don't produce patriotic ads, consitutional ads and the founding fathers etc etc etc.

    /sarcasm....

    I no longer care if the phone hears me or not. Let em get a earful. Maybe they learn something.

    While waiting on parts to show up for a repair, I thought I'd catch a show or two while browsing a few websites. I think I sa down to watch the second film of Thor, didn't catch the name. during a commercial I checked out a website and wah lah there's Natalie Portman

    kinda weird or is it coincidence?

    I thought well if Thor or any of the characters shows up online I'll assume the spy bot is here in my phone

    The film changed to The Avengers so that spy bot, if present has wider range to pick from.

    either the spy bot is listening in silence now or it was nothing more then someone that likes Portrman.

    I think the shop forgot I was here, had to check in to be sure. I'm don't know why they would think I took off when the parts were authorized, ordered and were sent overnight.

    I hope mine listens to me, my wife sure doesn't, and now that the kids are gone I know they don't either. At least some one does.

    I couldn't see exposing them to 12 hours of loud belches and bad singing. But if someone has the nerve to get on the other end of my iphone mike, they deserve every bit of it. :cool:

    All they would hear is the freaking keyboard LOL.

    Im actually very boring, I only use about 10 minutes voice each month, and a couple hundred texts. The real juice is via internet relay services.

    My life here at home is absolutely boring with moments of high drama which is the way I like it and if anyone in position of govt want to sit there and grow old trying to scrape on me they have much better things to do in life.

    HA! I've got a good one for ya- I was at the gate talking with my mailman and he scanned every piece of mail that he had for us, junk mail and all- every piece that had a barcode on it. I asked him about that and he said that they get instructions at the beginning of their day to scan preselected addresses' s mail. Different addresses each day. Big Daddy's keeping his eye on us!

    Oh it gets even dumber than that. We do a mail run from Minneapolis to Detroit. On Fridays we don't have a return trip from Detroit so we end up deadheading back from Detroit instead of a three day layover. Even if there's no mail going to Detroit they expect us to deadhead TO Detroit. To scan the trailer. That's it. Take the empty from Minneapolis to Detroit to scan a #### barcode on the trailer.
