Ouch!!

I reheated my chicken strips in the microwave last night and when I grabbed the container the steam burnt me. I've never been burned by steam before. Grease jumping out of a skillet, yes. Windshield de-icer, yes (and it took almost a year for my finger to feel normal again). But never steam. My thumb is all pink now and still hurts a little and really aches when anything touches it. I keep running cold water and hold an ice cube in a rag to it to calm it. Aspirin doesn't work. I know, Aloe vera for burns. Anyhow, I'm getting Precious all excited with visitors knocking on the door and Frodo jumps on top of the cupboards in fear. I got my director's chair for outdoor shoots. It came assembly required. Wish me luck. Post later.

It cost a lot of money, sure good things do, but I expected it to last a whie at that price. Of course, I lost the 1st phone last year and had to buy a new one which cost more than what I originally paid for it (I never did find it). So, a year goes by to have the battery go kaput and can't hold any level of power leaving me to recharge it constantly. Also, this battery is sealed in the phone so I can not just go out of buy a new one. At the end of my rope, I complain in an email from my computer. Since the warranty expired, I have to buy a new one. Well, I told the operator, if I have to buy a new phone every year then I want the cheapest one you got. He agreed with my logic. Then, changing phones causes me to lose the unlimited Sidekick internet access. Losing the internet access also caused the eras...
