Rumbly and Grumbly

Today, I spent part of my day looking through old photos.  I was hunting for pix of my dad, in order to create a Father's Day slide show, and found lots of good ones.  Getting it to an organized state hasn't been easy --- chronological?  topical??  ugh the choices!  But I have some time to get it done......

My son's girlfriend brought her mom with her tonight to meet me.... that's always a fun thing.  It hasn't been that long since the two got together, I didn't think we were at 'this stage' yet.....

I decided to have popcorn as an afternoon snack; one serving equals 2.5 cups.  Tasted really good .... but doesn't sit well in my stomach - I guess I'm at an age where I can't tolerate it very well any more.  How sad is that?

I joined the 21st century with a new android phone last weekend - and now pay $30 a month for a data plan.  Do I really need this???  I like the new tech stuff, but have a few beefs about it.  For a smart phone, its not so smart.  I can't turn off the email notifications beeps without turning off the
txt message beeps.  How dumb is that?  So now I'm woken up in the middle of the night every time I get a new email.......  these phones should be smarter!  There should be an app for setting up a phone to be silent between "x and x" hours.   Someone invent one and give the credit to me!   But my biggest beef with it is I mainly txt with just one person, and its thru SMS txting, not real texting (that's a whole 'nother subject for another time.... (*sigh* )  and  now the SMS hasn't been working, so frankly, I'm paying for something I surely don't need.  I think I need to go back to my old phone, my old plan and forget the text stuff, the data stuff.  Checking email and playing backgammon at $30/month is extravagant IMO.

I'm ranting a bit tonight, feeling disgruntled and dejected.  I spent some time with some chat fellows, and ugh.  Wasn't worth the time.   Maybe that's a sign that I need to go to bed.  G'nite all!
