Seven Deadly Sins Haven't Killed Me Yet
A Note
I am on hiatus from Shakesville for an indefinite time. I need to concentrate more on Petulant Rumblings in any case.
I post whatever the hell I want here haphazardly without restraint. If something perks my interest, I post about it. Simple as that. Since politics bores the fuck out of me these days, I will concentrate on my stronger interests like culture, music, art and myself. This is my personal site. How gay! HA! I will continue my drunken personal rumblings and there will be some political links in the morning readings. It bores the fuck out of me, but politics is a fodder hard to escape. So, don’t hold me to that one.
That’s it for now. I do need to turn the petulance up a few notches. I am far more petulant in reality than here.
I toil around the house the next few days as I neglect the garden and routine maintenance.
If any friends need to reach me, best to send an email. The house line is fucked and I can only call out. AT&T is less than helpful. My cell phone is officially in the crapper. It still works but the display is dead and I can’t see who is calling nor access my address book. The silence is nice. I am still researching a new one. There are so many choices. I do not want a Blackberry because I hate text messaging and rarely have a need to check email on the few occasions I am out and about. I am leaning towards the Samsung Trance, but haven’t decided.
Cheers, kittens.

Petulant likes to call himself a confirmed cynic, but might actually see some hope in the world if there is sufficient Champagne. Comment moderation is my wont. If I'm in front of the computer, they might appear instantly. Just make it relevant.

And, Infamous, there is a difference between hiatus and leaving.

Unfortunately, all I can say right now is “no comment.” Sorry.

Hi Pet!
I have an LG Dare and I quite like it. But the joys of not having a cell phone are many.
Looking forward to you being even more petulant, Petulant.

I am still researching at the moment as my local Verizon near the house (I ain’t driving all over the place.) didn’t have the phone I wanted until Thursday. I might just order it online because it is cheaper and the Verizon guy was a complete imbecile.
Let me do some research on the Dare. I have had good luck with LG phones in the past.

I’m afraid my phone knowledge is a few years out of date, but I like my LG VX9900 (I don’t really like calling it the “enV,” though I suppose “VX9900″ isn’t a much sillier name) quite well. If the build quality of their newer phones is similar, that alone is a recommendation.

I have the LG Chocolate- had t e Razr and it crapped out on me after a year which vexed me greatly. I went with calling Verizon while looking at the stuff online because the local Verizon store is staffed by people who make your imbecile look like Hawking.
I text not, yea verily if I want to type on a miniscule keyboard i shall use my Asus Eee. Phones are for talking into.
Although if rumors bear fruit and the Iphone comes to Verizon I may just have to have one.

I’ll certainly miss you at Shakesville, while I may not have commented, I enjoyed your posts very much. Take care, and I guess I’ll be reading you here while you’re on hiatus, if Shakesville comes back of course.
Signed, someone without a landline here too, but we’re at the top of the queue to get one because the shorted out line keeps on dialing 911.

LG phones are tha bomb. Presently have the LG Chocolate and it’s quite nice. I did go the online route because our local Verizon store would have to markedly improve to become imbeciles.
Though if rumors bear fruit and an Iphone comes to Verizon I may have to roll against my ooohshiny reaction.

Well, I’ll just have to come read you here then. Thanks for all of your work at Shakesville. You’ve inspired me in my half assed gardening and while I may have stepped up my efforts a notch or two, I’m not so sure of the results. Plus, when you write “Hah!” or “cheers kittens” you do it with authority and that’s pretty cool

Oh, yes, choey reminds me! I do look forward to more garden blogging, if that’s on the horizon.

I’ll miss you at Shakes but I won’t miss you entirely cause I’ll come see what you’re up to here. I really enjoyed your posts at Shakes. My love to everyone there and make sure everyone gets the break they need. Shit is insane right now and I’m not entirely surprised this happened. I hope everyone looks after number one – we net people will survive.
Hugs and love from me.

Just to reiterate, hiatus does not mean quit. This isn’t teevee.
A break is healthy.

Though I read Shakesville damn near everyday, I don’t always read the comment threads! So I have NO CLUE what is going on/not going on over there. I wish somebody would say something! All of a sudden, no posting, no commenting, nobody explains; I can only assume there was a fight(?)
Can you direct me to any sort of information about it? Thanks!
I don’t have a cell phone, but I am going to get an iPhone. I was going to the mall to buy one today, and I felt ill, so I didn’t go, and they announced a new improved one in the afternoon! Good thing I didn’t buy the old crappy one this morning!

Overlady, here is a good place to start. And here.

hey pet, i didn’t mean to confuse the terms. we’re all a little out of sorts and freaked out right now. i’m sure you know that shakesville is more than a news-source for a lot of us. i’ve emailed liss, but i realize she might be staying away from email at the moment. if you would pass on my support for whatever decision she makes, and a hug if she wants it, i’d be very appreciative.

I’ll be interested to see how the phone situation works out. Like you, I don’t see much point in texting.

I got the Samsung Trance and ordered a 16gb micro sd card for additional storage. (The maximum for this phone.) So far it is a great phone and mp3 player. The Bang and Olufsen audio sounds great. Calls are clear. Since I could care less about texting, it suits my needs.
I got an incredibly better deal than going to the Verizon Store. I saved about $200 bucks ordering it online. Verizon ran a special. Overnight shipping was free. Activation was free. I ordered it at 4:30 pm and Fedex arrived the following morning. Can’t beat that.
