Lunch diplomacy
TH: MM's stopping by for lunch today at 11:30 if anyone is interested. Not sure where to go. He mentioned In-N-Out but was open to other suggestions.
Me: which in-n-out?
TH: I don't know. I assume the one across from UCI
ND: either that or Bristol/Macarthur
ND: both are pretty damn busy at lunch
Me: I say MM should do an I-n-O run and bring the food back to those of us that are limited to an hour lunch
ND: (I am abstaining for I must drive to East Bay!)
Me: Hanks!
KK: Let's let MM decide because he's from out of town.
KK: But, I veto the In-N-Out by UCI
KK: we can do the other In-N-Out on Bristol if need be
TH: Is the UCI one too crowded?
KK: yeah
KK: and too full of stupid
Me: I think Bristol is stupider
Me: and less parking
TH: but you'll still be there KK
KK: which would overflow the stupid index
GT: by a vast amount
KK: ed zachary
TH: I see
GT: hes a nice guy
ND: Egg Zachary disease?
KK: yep
ND: worst joke ever
KK: yep
Me: MM has already had I-n-O while he has been here
Me: don't let him fool you!
GT: can i eat that???? not appropriate for the conversation
KK: Hanks has seating issues
ND: nah GT and KK can lap sit
KK: I call bottom!
GT: i call bottom
Me: issue solved
KK: HAHA
KK: I WIN
ND: d'awwww
ND: that's the worst game of shotgun ever
GT: no matter who wins...we lose
Me: theres more at stake if you loose lose
ND:I was going to say
KK: I think there's less at stake if you loose
ND: see I didn't say that
Me: i'm clever and didn't even know it
ND: that explains the hair
ND: OHSNAP A BLONDE JOKE I'm so witty
Me: every once in a while it just comes out
GT: put back in Lady!
KK: That's why GT is no longer welcome at Walmart or Chuck E Cheese
GT: they said they wanted to see what I bring to the party!!
KK: Not tortilla chips apparently
Me: tim, you talking to MM?
TH: he called earlier. he's in the car somewhere
TH: He said we can decide where to go
ND: has he had his mexican yet?
TH: I don't know
KK: Gerardo, get on it!
GT: only if you get below it
KK: How else am I going to get the right camera angle
GT: ha
GT: so.....are we any closer to deciding where we're going?????
GT: i'm starving!!
TH: it's only 10:40
KK: Baja Fresh
ND: man if you're going to give a man So Cal mexican
ND: why would you take him to Baja Fresh
ND: its owned by Wendy's for chrissakes
KK: because I like it, and I don't know him
KK: and I'm selfish
ND: he's a Yankees fan
KK: Then we're going to Taco Bell
ND: I'm expecting fisticuffs
Me: taco hell?
KK: Let's go to Philly's Best
KK: :)
GT: ooohhh!!
Me: Where is Philly's?
ND: I think I'm the only supporter of that place
ND: Brookhurst and Ellis
KK: Takes way too long
TH: I'm voting for Hank's or In-N-Out
Me: Hanks
Me: If we get there a few early we can get two tables outside
ND: you can fit 6 people at one of the big hank's tables
Me: Make MM get the tables! the price for the pleasure of our company

GT: but but....i'm superior
VB: LOL
ND: sir, I know KK. you sir, are no KK
GT: you sir are no lady
ND: oh pshaw
VB: that's who he thinks he's superior too
Me: Findings in a study: The Worse People Are, the More They Overestimate Their Abilities
Me: (or looks)
GT: so...i'm not god's gift to all of humanity?
VB: not if you think so.
ND: the meek shall inherit the earth
ND: (because God was a socialist)
ND: wait, this isn't funny if KK's not in the chat
VB: God "was" a socialist? What happened?
ND: nietzche
ND: (spelling optional)
Me: nietzsche
VB: that's why you’re the smart blond.
ND: damn Deutche
Me: Ah german, the romantic language
ND: ach, der Welt ist schoen
Me: Ich Lieb Dich = I love you
VB: apparently they have to be. according to a study I heard this morning their men are the worst lovers.
Me: how is this objectively studied?
VB: don't know. just reporting the results. I'm not saying it's correct, just saying...
ND: it wasn't; its a French conspiracy
Me: GT, you in Sunday?
GT: give me a call
GT: *** *** ****
ND: *puts out some craigslists postings with GT's number*
GT: you’re an ass
Me: offer a free tv, or a flat screen for really cheap
Me: or a lonly 16 yo girl
GT: don’t you dare give him any ideas
Me: who me?
ND: remember, if they ask you do to something you've never heard of, say "no"
GT: i thought it was a yoga move!!
GT: it was not

Glyde Break-up Letter
Secondary Subject: Phone is Not Working
Message Body: I really wanted to love the Glyde. I got it for myself for my birthday in 2008, the first day it was released and had several blissful months of its companionship. I am sick of it now.
I have had two firmware updates and it has done nothing to solve the inherent issues on this device. I can rarely unlock the device by sliding the icon across the screen, usually I have to click the lock button on the side or slide open the keyboard. However, if I can't slide the icon, then that means that when I do unlock the device by other means it will not function. The keyboard will be completely unresponsive, or if it is responsive, it is clicking icons on the other side of the screen then what I am trying to click. Forget trying to check (or send!) text messages anymore, I can't get into messaging most of the time. I can't browse as I can't click Done once I have entered my login or password. Oh, and its new trick is to reboot anytime I get a new message! You would think all that restarting would fix some of the many issues, but it doesn't. I am lucky if I can enter my unlock code after a reboot.
I can rarely even hold the device anymore when I try to navigate the menus as my hand HOLDING the device is making it crazy. Just holding the device will trigger icon clicks without me even touching the screen. Makes for a novelty party trick. I have locked the screen of my device and set it on the desk in front of me and watched it click through menus without me touching it (and while it was "locked" mind you!).
I feel I have been way more than patient with the stupid device. I really love the size and the design, and scoffed at all the users that complained and turned in their Glydes from the get-go. I was in love and blinded by its flaws. The infatuation has now worn beyond thin, and like a bad ex, I wan no more to do with it.
Please help this breakup be clean and painless.
Long time Verizon user,
Angela Waters
