and the receptionists there, all three of them, had their necks cranked down on their shoulders holding phones in place while they worked on computers and arranged appointments. That is going to cause long-term grief to their spines! For years and years hands-free head sets have been available, and still many offices are stuck in such antiquated situations. Such a cheap upgrade to benefit years of health for these workers!

just a few days ago in a big pile of dog poop!! Yes, really, not kidding! Dog poop.

How'd I get so lucky? Happened while walking our 2 big labs (one 80lbs, the other 120lbs- so you can imagine how much they poop). Being a nice neighbor, I always carry plastic bags and pick up their poop. When I bent over, my cell fell out of my jacket pocket and smack-dab into the poop. Yuck! I uttered some expletives.

So, I picked up the phone with an extra plastic bag, carried it home. Then wiped it off with paper towels, then used a soapy damp paper towel, then dried it and used hand sanitizer on it.

Get this: 2 hrs later, I dropped it on a table which cracked the screen and broke it. Damnation! Totally fucking weird, no?! Never had such bad luck with a phone! And all on the same evening!

I'm still breaking in the new one. And I'm not taking a phone on my walks with the pups again.
