Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 14, 2013

Kinda like hemorrhoids…

edclectic, that’s your comment right out the chute?

She likes being able to do things Arlo can’t do.Arlo loves here regardless.Ergo, they are both happy here.

So, it’s a don’t-touch phone?

My wife is always having the problem when she answers her smartphone. He cheek will touch the screen then it hangs up..I don’t have that problem with my flip phone.

Sounds like the old song, “Poison Ivy.”

ate at night when you’re a sleeping’poison ivy comes a creepin’ ar-ou-ou-ou-ouuund…..

Oh, I’m itching for my baby, and I don’t know where to scratchEver since we stole that first sweet kiss in the poison ivy patch.

I’ve got that same phone!

phritzg said,(from yesterday) and Dave53;“I’ve had the TracFone LG 840G for a couple months now and have so far had no problems like this.”That’s mine, too. Google that model and you’ll find an 85-page .pdf manual that’s a better help than the little booklet that came with it,

I feel just like Arlo does when I’m handed a phone to talk on . . .

I don’t hang up on people but I accidentally mute the phone a lot and I pocket-dialed until I locked my screen.

When I was a kid, we had phones with crystal-clear reception, that lasted half a century. Now we have phones that drop calls, are filled with line static, costs hundreds of dollars, and that have a shelf-life of maybe 6 months. What happened?

@Ushindi said;@UncaJim; " (you can probably tell I’m now a long way from being a teenager). " %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%A good thing, too… you realize what we could do at that age, knowing what we do NOW?? “Fathers, hide your dotters !!”But I mainly use my 840 to ‘busy myself’ at the VFW when I find myself with too curious over-the shoulder sorts.

The best cell phone I ever had was the Motorola MicroTAC 650. That phone could make a call in side a metal building or a brick building. I had a quick change battery (I had 5 extra batteries). I even a battery pack that used 6 AA throw-a-way batteries. It did not have texting. I would still be using that phone but they killed all analog phones.

That’s why I use headphones!
