My recent activities cost most of about $400. We&#8217;ve just changed plans and added additional minutes and negotiated a few more deals to neutralize most of this but it demonstrates that: 1. I&#8217;ve been busy and 2. I finally got a cell phone that I could use &#8211; a little too well I might add.<\/p>\n<p>The attorneys for the District wanted my phone and cell phone bills. Jeez, I gave them over a thousand emails and they are busily blowing all of them out of proportion. They&#8217;re the ones being sued. They haven&#8217;t provided squat. Have they got something to hide?<\/p>\n<p>Just asking.<\/p>\n<p>I love my new phone. The old one was a cheapo three years ago when I only bought it under protest so that if I ever drove off the road I could call and ask for help. It was a bear to use and I could never figure it out. When I finally decided I needed something more user friendly I asked for a dummy&#8217;s cell phone. It was so inexpensive they had to go to the back room to get it for me. It cost the same as the battery for my old phone. <\/p>\n<p>Golly, I figured out how to program phone numbers in it, speed dial, listen to messages and a dozen other things I would have had to be a computer programmer to figure out on the old cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>Now all I have to learn to do is how NOT to use it.  <\/p>\n<p>Hey JCI, if you want my phone records, How about giving me yours, or your email, how about some DNA samples. Maybe I could get some of those off the listening devices you may have tucked under my wheel well. I&#8217;d take anything. Really!
