Down With Slim

Friday, Jun. 16, 2006 - 1:07 a.m.

I am seeing commercials promoting the new slim slinky cell phones and nice weensy wussy PDAs and new little bitty MP3 devices.

I wouldn't pay to have one of those fragile faerywing things on my person.

Let's see. My cell phone is bulky and kind of homely and scratched up -- but it has survived every fall it's taken. So has the very archaic ratty old iPod that's around here somewhere.

If I had one of those little beetsy new slender things in my pants pocket or in my pocketbook and accidentally mashed down on it?

CRUNCH.

Mind you, they might not shatter like potato chips. And they might actually be strong.

But their size alone worries me. It is not a selling point at all.

Especially for a klutz like me. :-)

Last night I was in Yahoo Messenger with Old Buddy Dave, when for essentially no discernable reason, I began to think of Tammy Faye Bakker Messner. She's been sick for awhile with lung cancer and hasn't made a public statement since April.

No, I haven't heard anything one way or t'other. I just have a feeling she's going to be gone soon.

My brain must surely be melting.

I watched most of an entire episode of The Dukes Of Hazzard a couple of days ago.

Forgive me, Higher Power. I'll try never to do that again.

Have a nice Friday and a good weekend!
