Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

DB ordered new phones for us last week since his phone fell into the toilet and has gone haywired.  Funnily, the phone can still received text messages but it cannot send any calls or text messages.  He purchased a Blackberry Smartphone for himself and a LGenV2 for me through Verizon Wireless. 

Yes, the LGenV2 arrived on Tuesday and of course I was spending most of my spare time dinking with the new toy.  I was going to transfer my contacts from my old phone to the new one before activating the new phone.  Well, tough luck for me,  DB had already activated the new phone for me.  This LGenV has an internal QWERTY keypad with a bigger screen when the phone is opened.  I forgot to take a picture of the phone opened.  Click on the above link and you will be able to see the phone from all angles.  I totally love the Qwerty keypad coz I can type faster that way although I am still using my two thumbs.  I can receive calls both ways: from the front where I just have to hit Send or flip open the phone and put the call on speakers.  Suhweet!  The screen is so clear where it actually is capable of downloading pictures and videos for viewing.  And there voice activation where I can record my commands like say call home and the phone will call the number for me and this voice activation is also used in the the VZ Navigator, a GPS for the folks with no sense of direction like me. 

New toy and treating it like a baby.  Oh speaking of baby, which is out of subject, just heard from DB that Ally has already rolled over.  She was over at her grandma’s in Rochester, she rolled over.  Man, this little missy is so advance.  She was already half grown when she was born.  Can’t wait to see her again.  DB will be sitting her on Monday.  I’m wondering if we need to get a pack and play for her when she comes over our house.  Will have to discuss with the grampie. 

Back to my Olympics men’s swimming competition now and will be staying up for the  women’s gymnastics individual rounds .  Happy weekend, folks.

I was over at Nadine’s house over the weekend. Again, she and Mark did some home improvements to their house.  It’s over two years since they moved into their new home and much were done to the home ever since.  First was the family room in the basement where they converted it to a home theater.  Then it was the kitchen and now the guess bedrooms and bathrooms.  Mark and his buddies finally completed the installation of the shower stall and put in new tiles in the bathrooms.  What is missing are farmhouse sinks which Nadine is not sure if Mark is really up for those sinks or the travertine vessel sinks.  It will be interesting to see the two bathrooms once they finish the last installations.
