Frankly My Dear, You Don't Give A WHAT???

Looking at new cell phones can be quite a challenge. There are about two thousand different styles, shapes, functions, and capabilities that a phone can come with. Then, to match the right phone with the people in your family is another story. We are looking to get all new cell phones, four in all, because of AT&T selling out to Cingular. We want to get our oldest a phone for the trip to Europe but have to get a new contract using Cingular. We are not able to keep our AT&T products on the Cingular network, therefore new phones. The initial cost will be a hit, but in the long run we're going to save money with roll over minutes and a cheaper plan. The biggest problem we're running into is choosing the phones. And my father is being a jerk about every aspect of it. He says he doesn't want/need a phone one minute and then when you ask to make sure he doesn't want one he gets nasty talking about, "if you don't want me to have one fine." So, now we have to work out who's going to have a phone, how many we need to get, and what phone we're getting for whom. What a mess over something as stupid as a phone. I wish we didn't have a phone at all. If you need to tell someone something, open the door and yell.

I just want to get everything done and over with so I can enjoy myself on Thursday. The 22nd is Bruce Campbells birthday. It's odd to think he'll be here, in the middle of a book signing, during his birthday. A celebrity has a poor, if any, home life. In my opinion, they pay a high price for the "fame & fortune" that comes with the job. I don't think I would be able to deal with all the things that they have to deal with on a daily basis. It's almost understandable why many celebrities have a problem with drugs and/or alcohol.

I'm still trying to find a Fathers day gift. It's difficult to find a gift for someone who has everything and is very particular about what they like. I can't get anything tool related as he complains about getting a gift that's for working. He doesn't have any hobbies except watching TV, and he doesn't need another one. He does like to go fishing, but he just bought himself a new fishing rod and reel. We bought him a tackle box last year so he doesn't need another one. We've been looking for shirts, but can't find anything that he would like. The search continues.

Best.
