AT TRACFONE.. THE NATIONS LEADING PREPAID WIRELESS SERVER IN THE WORLD..

HONESTLY, THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF THAT COULD POSSIBLY EXPLAIN MY RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRACFONE PEOPLE DOING A UPGRADE IN MY SERVICE AREA IS THAT THEY ARE NOT FROM AROUND HERE.. THEY ARE FROM MARS..

MY LOVELY... CAN PLAY 21 ON IT AND AND IT LETS ME WIN A LOT.... FLIP PHONE WITH DIGITAL AND ANALOG CAPABILITIES.. ( I COULD CALL PEOPLE FROM THE BOTTOM OF WELL AND HAVE SERVICE!) VOICE ACTIVATED SPEED DIALING.. MOTOROLA WAS NO LONGER GOING TO WORK.... !!!! IT IS LIKE LOSING A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY .. IT IS JUST NOT RIGHT... TO THROW A PERFECTLY LOVELY PHONE AWAY .. ..IT HAS SERVED ME FOR 3 YEARS NOW.. NEVER A MINUTES TROUBLE AND THE BATTERY WILL HOLD THE THING FOR 3 DAYS WITHOUT A SQUEAK OR A TRIBBLE ABOUT NEEDING FED.. I PAID 130 DOLLARS FOR THAT PHONE.. I WANTED ONE I COULD DEPEND ON.. AND I GOT IT.. NO MORE.. NO MORE..

THEY ARE SENDING ME FREE OF CHARGE.. AN UPGRADE PHONE, BECAUSE OF MY YEARS OF VALUED CUSTOMER TIME WITH THEM.. BEEN USING THEM FOR AROUND 8 YEARS NOW.. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE NOW..

I MUST OF BEEN SAVING UP FOR THIS ONE HUGE GOOF UP.... THE WIRELESS SERVER AGAINST THE LOWLY USER OF THE SERVICE.. CAUSE IT JUST COULD NOT BE WORSE.. NO WAY!

TIME LINE.. DAYS TO ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN..

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON TWO WEEKS AGO..

INITIAL CONTACT.. RECORDED MESSAGE ON MY LANLINE PHONE.. GO TO TRACFONE .COM AND SELECT TECHNICAL SERVICE.. THEN SELECT OPTION 4 AND THEN FILL OUT NEED INFORMATION AND YOUR NEW PHONE WILL BE SHIPPED TO YOU WITHIN 2 WORKING DAYS... SERVICE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE 10TH OF SEPTEMBER.. HURRY BECAUSE SUPPLIES OF UPGRADE PHONES ARE LIMITED..

I HURRIED.. I WAS ONLINE ALREADY.. ( BIG SURPRISE HUH?)

SO I ZOOMED OVER AND CHOSE TECHNICAL SERVICE..

CHOSE NO. 4 .. FILLED OUT THE FORMS TORE APART MY PHONE GOT THE SERIAL NUMBER FROM UNDER THE BATTERY.. AND THEN THEY WANTED ME TO TURN IT ON IMMEDIATELY SO THEY COULD TRANSMIT CODES TO IT.. FUMBLE BUMBLE.. DONE.. CODE ENTRY MODE.. CODE ACCEPTED.. TADA! DONE~

WRONG KEMOSABEE...

MESSAGE COMES UP FOR ME TO CALL A NUMBER AND CHOOSE NO. 4 AND THEN CHOOSE THE EXTENSION .. NO. 5...

THE MARTIANS ARE HERE!

TIME LINE.. 2 PM. MY TIME..

PUT ME ON HOLD.. TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT A 15 MINUTE WAIT.. WELL THE SAME LADY WHO SENT THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE LEADING TO THIS ROAD OF HELL... RECORDED MESSAGE DID... IN ANOTHER RECORDED MESSAGE..

THEN SHE TOLD ME AROUND EVERY 3 MINUTES THAT TO HAVE MY CELL PHONE CHARGED AND TURNED ON.. AND THAT PERHAPS I COULD BE SERVED AT TRACFONE .COM FOR MY NEEDS.. WHICH MIGHT BE.... AND THE LIST WAS 20 ITEMS LONG..

NO MUSIC ..

JUST THIS RECORDING...

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER..

TIME LINE.. 3PM..

AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER..

THEN A NEW THING.. YIPPEEE..

SHE TELLS ME THAT RIGHT NOW THE CALL LOAD IS EXTREMLY HEAVY AND TO CALL BACK THE NEXT DAY BETWEEN 8 AM. AND 3PM..

AND THEN IT HANGS UP ON ME..

BUT.. BUT... BUT...SPLUTTER.. SPIT.. !!!!! .. ME.. I.. LOCKIE.. WAS ONE OF THE HEAVY USAGE TYPE PEOPLE.. THIS WAS NOT MAKING MY

HAIR ANY DARKER ... AND I TRY TO AVOID THOSE SITUATIONS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE..

WHEN I GET ANGRY.. I STAY THAT WAY FOR A LONG, LONG, LONG, TIME.. I CAN TAKE A LOT OF CRAP.. BUT WHEN I FINALLY FLUSH OUT .. ... TAKES A LOT OF WATER IF YOU KNOW MY MEANING..

SO MY CRAPOMETER WAS STILL IN THE LOW AMOUNTS.. AND I DID AS ASKED..

AND HUNG UP FOR THE REQUIRED TIME REQUESTED OF ME.. I AM VERY OBLIGING ... REMEMBER THIS MOMENT.. PLEASE..

TIMELINE 8:15 AM THE FOLLOWING DAY....

SAME RECORDING .. SAME WAIT TIME THEY PROMISED.. AND I GUESS THEY HAD TOLD SO MANY PEOPLE TO CALL BACK BETWEEN 8AM. AND 3PM THAT EVERYONE CALLED AT 8:15 AM..

THE 15 MINUTE HOLD TIME BECAME ONE HOUR.. WHILE THE SAME RECORDING PLAYED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER..

I AM A SAINT... THEY ARE FROM MARS..

THE PHONE SUDDENLY RANG AND THIS FEMALE VOICE SAID..

WELDM;IETTTGAN;.. KSDFAEIRTATITERJTIWAJF

AND THEN SILENCE..

I SAID.. PARDON ME MA'AM I DID NOT HEAR YOU CLEARLY PLEASE REPEAT THAT..

SHE SAYS..

SKDJFFJSDAJGAIOTUEIUTJEWAIWJS....DJFAISJIEUWAAS;...?????

SHE HAD THE VOLUME TURNED UP SO HIGH, AND WAS SPEAKING SO CLOSE TO THE MICROPHONE THAT EVEN IF SHE COULD SPEAK ENGLISH..

IT WAS SO GARBLED AND I KEPT GETTING FEEDBACK.. AND THAT HURTS!.. THAT I JUST TALKED OVER HER AND GAVE HERE MY CASE NUMBER...

AND THEN JUST SAT THERE AND WAITED FOR HER TO DO WHAT EVER CAME NATURALLY TO THE THINGS FROM OTHER PLANETS.

I MEAN WHAT COULD I DO? SHE WASN'T LISTENING TO ME.. I COULDN'T LISTEN TO HER AND IT DO US ANY GOOD.. SO I JUST WAITED FOR SOME KIND OF ACTION FROM THE MARTIANS..

I HEARD KEYS CLATTERING .. THEN SHE IS ASKING FOR THE SAME INFORMATION I HAD SUBMITTED ON THE WEBSITE.. AGAIN.

I THINK.. SO I TRIED TO GIVE HERE WHAT SHE WANTED..

SHE TOLD ME I WOULD RETAIN MY OLD PHONE NUMBER.. NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE DUE DATE ON MY SERVICE THAT TO BUY THE AIRTIME CARD AND ADD IT TO THE OLD PHONE AND WHEN THE NEW ONE GOT TO ME.. CALL THEM BACK AND THEY WOULD TRANSFER IT ALL OVER TO THE NEW PHONE..

BUT NO HURRY I HAD UNTIL SEPT. 10TH...

THATS RIGHT TONTO..

LIAR .. LIAR ... I WISH I HAD AN INTERPLANETARY LIGHTER TO SET THE HEIFER'S PANTS ON FIRE..!

THEN SHE SAYS THANKYOU .. I THINK... AND HUNG UP ON ME .. AGAIN... SIGH..

MORE ON THE CONTINUING SAGA OF LOCKIE VERSUS TRACFONE..

IN PART TWO TOMORROW..

CAUSE IF I DON'T TAKE A BREAK MY HAND IS GOING TO BREAK OFF AT THE WRIST AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO ABANDON THE WOES OF GETTING SCREWED BY THE CELLPHONE COMPANY TALE BY LOCKIE..

AND I REALLY REALLY NEED FEEDBACK ON THIS MESS .. CAUSE UNTIL I GET MY 110 MINUTES ROLL OVER TIME..

I AM LEARNING TO SPEAK MARTIAN.. EVERY DAY.. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER..

I CAN BE CLASSED GRADE A NIGHTMARE WITH A SMILE ON MY LIPS AND YOU DIE IN MY EYE..

OLD" IS WHEN -- your sweetie says, "Let's go upstairs and make love."
And you answer, "Pick one; I can't do both!"

"OLD " IS WHEN -- your friends compliment you on your new alligator
shoes and you're barefoot.

"OLD" IS WHEN -- a sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker
opens the garage door.

"OLD" IS WHEN -- going braless pulls all the wrinkles out of your
face.

"OLD" IS WHEN -- you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long
as you don't have to go along.

"OLD" IS WHEN -- you are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead
of by the police.

"OLD" IS WHEN -- "getting a little action" means you don't need to
take any fiber today.

"OLD" IS WHEN -- "getting lucky" means you find your car in the
parking lot.

"OLD" IS WHEN -- an "all nighter" means not getting up to use the
bathroom.

AND, "OLD" IS WHEN -- you're not sure these are jokes!

AUGUST 24, 2007 A TRIBUTE TO THE DINGLE... THE SWEETER TYPE FRIEND

PROFILE INFORMATION FOR..

MS. DANIELLE HINSEY

(NOT REALLY HER PHOTO YOU GUYS..BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN !)

 

DINGLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

HOME SCHOOL TEACHER

SOMETIMES ALSO KNOWN AS:

 DANI.. DINGLE.. WARRIOR CAVE WOMAN.. AND SHE ALSO ANSWERS TO.. HEY! HINSEY...

BUT PREFERS TO BE CALLED

 XENA ... WARRIOR PRINCESS .

SCHOOL MOTTO

WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING PUBLIC SCHOOL

SCHOOL COLORS

WHAT EVER IS PRETTY

SCHOOL MASCOT

THE WILD DINGLEBERRY

 

 

THIS BLOG IS A TRIBUTE TO A WONDERFUL FRIEND THAT I HAVE..

HER  NAME IS DANIELLE HINSEY...

I JUST CALL HER DINGLE...

 

 

 

 

DANI AND I HIT OFF RIGHT AWAY WHEN WE FIRST CONNECTED ON THE INTERNET ON YAHOO 360.

SINCE SHE ALWAYS HAS PEPSI AND M&M'S

AND I HAVE PEPSI AND GUMMI BEARS...

THE FRIENDSHIP DEVEOLPED INTO A LASTING ONE .... QUICKLY!

 

 

 

I HAVE TAKEN A FEW OF THE THINGS WE HAVE SHARED AND BLOWN THEM COMPLETELY OUT OF PORPORTION TO PRESENT TO YOU ...

SINCE THIS IS THE INTERNET I CAN'T REALLY

DO JUSTICE TO THIS WONDERFUL LADY ...

SHE NEEDS A DOZEN ROSES AND A CASE OF PEPSI TO BE PRESENTED AT THE END OF IT..  SIGH...

 USE YOUR IMAGINATION...

 WORK WITH ME HERE PEOPLE..

AND FOR HEAVENS SAKE..

PUULLLLEEEEZE...

 NO GROUCHY ...

" YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON THE NET"

STUFF OKAY... SHEESH!"

 

WHEN DANI WAS FIRST CONSIDERING HOME SCHOOLING HER KIDS..

SHE WENT TO THE INTERNET TO TAKE SOME TESTS THAT WOULD GIVE HER THE INSIGHT INTO HER PERSONALITY MAKEUP.

BY DOING THIS SHE DETERMINED THAT SHE HAD ALL THE SKILLS NEEDED TO MAKE IT WORK..

AFTER WE GOT THE RESULTS BACK FROM THE

"WHAT FINGER ARE YOU" TEST 

I SAID...

"JUST DO IT DINGLE"

 

You Are the Middle Finger

A bit fragile and dependent on your friends, you're not nearly as hostile as you seem. You are balanced, easy to get along with, and quite serious. However, you can get angry and fed up with those around you. And you aren't afraid to show it!

 

  

 

 

 

 

I THINK HER TEACHING METHODS ARE RIGHT ON, WHEN KEEPING WITH WHAT REALLY REALLY WORKS WITH KIDS!

 

 

DANI BELIEVES IN HANDS ON ARTS AND CRAFTS FOR TEACHING TOOLS..

 

 

 

AND...

ALL OF HER TEACHING TOOLS ARE OF THE LARGE ECONOMY SIZE

 

THESE ARE A FEW OF THE MOMENTS...  FROM HER LIFE INTO MINE...  THAT WE SHARED OVER THE YEAR WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS.

 

DANI IS THE EVER THOUGHTFUL AND DEVOTED WIFE..

SHE AND I WENT PICKING WILDFLOWERS FOR HER HUSBAND.

DANI, ALWAYS THINKING OF HIS HAPPINESS,

 DOES THESE SPECIAL THINGS!

 

WE MADE ONE LITTLE MISTAKE ...

 

IT WAS POISON IVEY....

HEY!

 THE THOUGHT WAS STILL THERE!

 

 

AS WITH ANYONE, DANI HAS SOME QUIRKS ..

 

SHE HAS THIS COTTON SOCK FETISH THAT JUST CAN'T BE REHABILITATED OUT OF HER!

LORD KNOWS I HAVE TRIED.. 

...SIGH...

I ONLY BUY HER THE PACKS OF 6 PAIR NOW, INSTEAD OF TEN..

MAYBE SHE CAN TAPER OFF!

 

 

 

DANI IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ME IF I AM IN NEED OF A HELPING HAND...

 SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WORK QUITE RIGHT..

 BUT NO MATTER..

THE THOUGHT WAS THERE!

 

LIKE THE TIME SHE TOOK MY LAUNDRY TO THE DRY CLEANERS FOR ME..

BUT DROPPED THEM OFF AT THE AUTOMATIC CAR WASH INSTEAD...  

HEY!...

SO, I HAD TO GIVE MY CASHMERE SWEATER TO THE THIRD GRADER NEXT DOOR..

ANYONE COULD HAVE MADE THE SAME MISTAKE!!

 

 

 

TO DANI ...

 SWEET LOVING FRIEND OF MINE ..

TAKE THIS BIG HUG FROM LOCKIE

 

 YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE BEST...

 MADE INTO THE BETTER GENDER...

FEMALE!

 

 

TO THE READER:

 

AS YOU READ THE THOUGHTS  FROM ONE OF DANI'S BLOGS BELOW ..

 YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY I KNOW HER TO BE ALL THAT I SAY SHE IS.

SHE IS A BLESSING SENT TO ME, AND I THANK GOD FOR HER EVERYDAY!

 

 

 

WORDS FROM DANI'S MAY 17TH, 2007 BLOG

AT YAHOO!360

 

PLACES IN THE HEART

 

 

 

WE ALL HAVE PLACES IN OUR HEART. SPECIAL PEOPLE SUCH AS FRIENDS, PARENTS, CHILDREN, ALL HAVE A PLACE IN OUR HEART. EVERY PLACE IS UNIQUE, EACH FILLS A NEED IN OUR LIVES..

ALL OF THOSE IN OUR HEARTS EARNED THEIR PLACE. WE DO NOT GO HUNTING FRIENDS OR MAKING UP FAMILY MEMBERS. EACH COMES TO US WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT. EACH COMES TO US WHEN WE NEED THEM. SOME STAY FOR A LIFETIME, OTHERS ARE HERE TO HELP FOR THE MOMENT. ALL ARE CHERISHED, LOVED, WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.. THAT IS WHY I HOLD THEM IN A SPECIAL PLACE.. MY HEART.

DANI

AS YOU HAVE IN MINE SWEET SISTER!
