MBAnd I Needed a Phone, Too !!!
October 2nd 2006 04:56
I'm a trashpicker. My brother and my sisters are trashpickers, too. It's not that we grew up in poverty and had to sort through the neighbors' garbage cans. We simply enjoy saving good stuff before it goes to the dump.
Today, my sisters and I had plans to go to an event in the city. When we started to stop the car at every house where great weekend trash set out for tomorrow's pickup, it was a safe bet there would be no trip to the city. The pickin's were plentiful and no planned event can compare to the enjoyment the three of us get out of loading other people's junk into the Jeep. Ah, yes.
Now, to backtrack a little bit, I have a cordless phone that really sucks. It works ok, if you don't mind not hearing what's being said on the other end of the line. I don't spend much time on the phone, so it wasn't one of those pressing aggravation. I'd say "huh?" a lot, hang up after the conversation and forget about it.
Ok, now, back to today. I found a cordless phone with the cord and power supply. Electronic trash picks are a gamble. But since the phone is no where near as heavy as the six or seven TVs we saw, I brought it home. After I let it charge. it's perfect. Nothin' wrong with it at all and, on top of it, the volume is just right.
Cross that one off my list of things to buy.
