I've been a true-blond all my life until I turned white-headed. Problem is my brain has not changed. I want to tell you that those things they call blond jokes - they're actually just true-blond stories. And I gave the man at the FIXIT shop a dozie he can tell for a long time. I'll bet those men in that shop rolled in the floor laughing after I left, which was just a few minutes ago.
My story is I've been having a little trouble with my cell phone. I had charged it and couldn't get the thing to turn back on. Worked for about four days, charging it, then trying to turn it on and absolutely nothing happened. I needed it on so that I could use it. I don't use it a lot, but when I need it I really need it.
Finally, I broke down and took it to the FIXIT store out on Coulter. Started to go to Walmart 'cause it probably would be cheaper, but I was in a hurry and needed to get it fixed - now.
Walked into the store and told a man behind the counter that I didn't know a lot about cell phones, but that I had charged mine and now I couldn't get it to turn on.
He took it in his hand and since it't a flip phone, he opened it. Well when he did, the screen that had been solid black for days, turned white with a little 'something' in the middle, and then, what I call the opening screen came on.
It's a wonder a person four blocks away couldn't hear my chin hittin' the floor. That man hadn't done anything but just open it. I had opened it so many times it's a wonder the hinges were still working. I couldn't believe. it.
"It's on" he said.
I'm sure he thinks I'm the dumbest old woman that ever lived. I'm not, I swear i am not, close maybe, but there's a whole lot that are stupider than me,I'm just sure of it.
Anyway, I thanked him very nicely and left.
My problem now, is the next time I need to charge that apparatus, do I turn it off, or leave it on. And if so, how do I turn it off. I don't even know how to leave it on. Haven't worried about that, it just always seems to be on. That is, 'till it goes dead. Then I charge it. At least that's what's happened before. Now I'm not sure what to expect. I wish I had a book for that sucker.
Shoot, why DID they do away with books with instructions? Us ol' fogies can still read - at least most of the time.
