On Alarms and waking up

easily solved with a hole in the seat and possibly a catheter

And the latter is probably already a done deal if we're in double cane territory.

superglue it to your backside?
Whoa...
You're just dodging the other question.... where's the -snooze?
I thought this was going to be "No-Hate", but I guess this works

FAIL. That's not possible, if you need two canes, wave them both then you will fall over. Have. Tried.
Perhaps you're not smart enough to do it? The trick is to lean your body against the railing or a wall, or to sit down.
Worry? I know I'd lose it.... All the stuffs are carried around the house, and everywhere... until I sleep.
If only the phone had, I don't know, a way you could send it an email, or a call, or a text message, or one of many other similar methods, to make it make noise so you could find it!
Quote failure on your part. He meant that they should be prepared to order the pizza so his ancient posterior doesn't have to get up and switch rooms because he's too busy sharpening his wooden shoes to throw in the machinery.
-
Great. Now I have to keep track of a chair, too?
That won't fit in a pocket...
Yelling at those kids on your lawn from inside the house doesn't work very well. The rocking chair belongs on the porch.
Honestly, it's like you don't even know of any stereotypes of old men.
-
Though you'd also need the matching
top hat and monoclewife-beater.FTFY, based on the general demographic. Altho TBH that demographic doesn't wave canes as such.

Carrying your rocking chair around with you is doing it @wood-style.

Frankly, I like this newish, saltier @ben_lubar. He's very entertaining.

Of course not. It's on silent. Otherwise it would interrupt me.

Well, in that case, you deserve to lose it.

Today my alarm went of at seven, so I got up to use the washroom, but I wasn't able to fully evacuate. Then I became tired and went back to bed for about 3 hours, until I woke up again around 10am and was able to complete my transaction.
Last night I went to a bar where they had a $5 special on pork ribs, I'm not sure if this is related or not...
-
I'm not sure if this is related or not..
Sounds like you have bigger problem(s) than whether or not to carry your phone around with you.
-
-
When I get home I empty my pockets and switch into a different set of pants (wearing the same pants you dragged around all day all sweaty? Yuck). I put the cellphone down wherever, usually besides the PC since it probably needs charging. Then before I need to go to sleep I pick it up and take it with me to the bedroom, where I plug it to the charger.
I have no idea what part of this whole process you people are finding complicated.

It's probably the changing pants part...

Right.
Who wears pants at home?

Look, all I want to do is yell at kids... why do I have to remember all this "lean on a wall" - "did you remember your rocking chair" nonsense?
Too complicated.

So, just how do I keep track of the phone I'm using to call the lost phone - AND CAN I EVEN HEAR IT?? - remember, old.
Duh. if it's lost as in REALLY LOST, "crap will I have to buy a new phone?" lost, get somebody to call - but the routine, la-di-da headed out the door, do I have my phone, dang, where'd I leave it, retrace, my steps... hmmm,.... waste of my (limited) mental energies.

Nu-uh. I am in emphatic agreement here... just don't tell my wife. :iron_skillet:
Actually, no, take-out food is too ... so this does not happen - and my wife makes excellent
But Boomzilla and HIS wife - that's another story....
AND, we have caught back up.

Back in my day, yelling at kids was so much simpler. We didn't have these new-fangled "walls", just an onion tied to our belts

Whoa, you really go back.
Even my caves have always had walls.
-
Caves? you were lucky. I had to walk 10 miles uphill to get to the nearest cave, then 12 miles uphill to get back. Ahh, they don't make nostalgia like they used to

If continental drift and mountain uplifting was moving your caves about, perhaps you should have walked faster...
Besides, I thought you were a young git?
-
I'm as young as I need to be for the current joke

I'm with ya so far. Although I have to say I don't feel the need to restrict my yelling just to kids. Overly-friendly neighbors, magazine salesmen, and so on, are justifiable targets for my ire, too.

Well, if you're just going to be pedestrian about it, that's one thing. But you should try to pour yourself into your actions.

Some people have replaced their childhood security blanket with their phones, apparently.

That's the problem of whoever's phone that one is.

I do most of the actual cooking, which is most of the time. Ordering the pizza now and then is about the least she could do. I'm already paying for the pizza. Sheesh.

I'm getting a kind of Al Bundy vibe here.

You know, you're right... I've been going about this all wrong... I thought I had a few years to go yet before becoming a full-time curmedgion - what with economy and increasing life-expectancy...
I need to quit my job NOW... and up my game.
"They" always say you have to prepare now for a happy retirement tomorrow.
Dang. Missed my
"No dear, Matlock is on at 10:00."
Call me at 9:55...

No no no, you can start the curmudgeoning before you retire; you do it part-time now, as practice, to hone your craft.
I recommend spending your lunch break at the mall, glowering.

You do know that most Android phones can be running Cyanogenmod within about an hour after you first think "wow, the stock OS on this phone is dung..."
The stock software on a lot of them is fine though.

a lot of them are Samsung so I doubt it

I'll take your word for it—I' haven't really bothered with a stock phone OS since maybe 2008...
EDIT: Oh yeah, that's right, I had to flash my G1 to get it off Android 1.7, because Rogers wouldn't do it, the bastards. Never looked back...
-
Didn't it go 1.6 Donut to 2.0 Eclair? Pretty sure there was no 1.7
-
Maybe 1.7 (Timbit) was a special version of Android only available in Canada, eh?
