Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

I love stories like that. Congrats!


Belly button hurts too. Had that twice - my body rejects that piercing. Pushes it right out. Haven't gone for any others.

Thanks!

For some reason my wife's was the same way. She had her belly button pierced and it didn't take, she never got it re-done. She said the person that did it just put it too shallow though.

HAHA!! I don't know what part of the south you live in, but it's still frowned upon in many small towns, like where I live and grew up.

I've lived in Atlanta in the city all my life. Now living in small suburb 15 minutes north west of the city. I'm native and rare round these parts!

I pierced both of my ears myself when I was 16. Uhh that would be 27 years ago My hair was also down to mid back. (yeah my folks loved me...)

I used a large safety pin for the poke, 2 cubes of ice for a minute to numb, and a cut slab of a raw potato to rest against the backside of my lobe for sturdiness. It freekin' hurt like hell and the sound of the popping through that flesh I'll never forget. I ended up piercing 4 of my friends ears afterwards using the same method. We were in a band so we were super cool. You have to remember (if you can) this was in the mid 80's so it was certainly frowned upon in the South. (just misunderstood really)

I stopped wearing earrings in the late 90's guess it just got old and was too trendy at the time. I tried my sisters on the other day and the holes are still good

A little jbdan history for your viewing pleasure =)

A side to you I did not see coming. I like finding out about everyone in little tidbits.

Thanks!

That's what the piercer thought the first time, that it was too shallow. So tried just to the side of that for the second one, and went deeper - damn thing did it again. The owner at the time said he had only seen it happen one other time. They actually gave me back my money from the jewelry on the second one because they felt bad. But shhhh, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone that.

Oh my Lord if you only knew!

My closet is so full of skeletal remains it'd fill up a large gymnasium That's why I needed saving....and now all is well

It all helped shape you into the great man you are today though!

Amen sister I wouldn't have wanted it any different. It was all in His plan <><

So, I got a bull ticket the other weekend for running a stop sign. It was at 2AM and I was picking my wife up from a girls night out at the bars. The roads were covered in snow after a storm. I get pulled over by a trooper that thought he nabbed himself a DWI. After he realizes I'm sober and for some reason was pissed off about it gives me a ticket for running a stop sign. He said "You came to a complete stop, but you were just over the white line". The roads were covered in slush/snow (so you couldn't see any road lines) and I know that I stopped before the stop sign. It became my word verses his in court and I had to pay the fine and 3 points on my license.

So, I bought this windshield dock and have been using Daily Roads Voyager app as a dashboard cam. All has been working great. Nice to have a little insurance on situations and will eventually be able to put together a compilation of stupid drivers.

I'm having trouble pulling up pictures on my PC. When pulling up the files in windows explorer it doesn't show the videos in the folders. Any ideas on what's up with that?

 

[EarlyMon]

I can't help it.

To this day, whenever I see a belly button piercing, all I can picture is someone pulling on it, the belly button pops open, and the person flies around the room like a big popped balloon.

That's like - your nozzle. It's kind of where you went in. Someone tied it off like a balloon when you born. How do people ever get comfortable with messing with their nozzles??

Well, I just had my friend in hysterics....I was playing with my tongue ring and then went to take a drink - didn't have the hoop all the way down and and realized a straw fits through it perfectly .

Verizon doesn't supply home internet to the specific part of the city I am moving to. Now I have to pay more for another company. FML.

Happened to me too. Switched to Time Warner cable and tripled my speeds for $30. Actually was worth it. I hope you can find a good deal.

Broke down this week and bought the Seidio Innodock Jr for my Nexus. It got here today. Not bad really for a simple portrait dock. I'll be able to use it at work anyway and I can keep the case on my phone with it. I am still holding out for the landscape dock for home use. Just thought y'all might like to know how it does with the Nexus.

Its right up there with telling me I can't do something.

.....I hope the reps are getting this partially right, the fix is really coming, and that's the audio software tangle I postulated some are suffering. If true, we'd have never found it.

Thanks Early, I also did a bunch if reading on DTMF, just could not see how it made sense. I switched to long tones a few days ago, then had the two issues yesterday, so it would appear that did not help. I noted the time of those calls, however when I got home and sat down to look at the logs in system tuner, it did not go back far enough the same day. A second thought has to do with when we were traveling over the Christmas holiday, not one call with a problem while we were in Dallas for 12 days, leads one to think the issue has something to do with a software issue with certain towers, areas, regions. Is DTMF totally a software issue in the phone, or, assuming there is any truth to the DTMF theory, is it a relationship between a phone and the network when the tones "overlap"?

Well, DTMF was a signaling protocol for land lines. What does Phone Scoop have to say on its role in mobile phones?

(Dual Tone Multi-Frequency)

DTMF is the global standard for audible tones that represent the digits on a phone keypad.

With touch-tone land-line phones, pressing a key on the dialpad generates the corresponding DTMF tone for that key. The land-line phone system can then "listen" and decode that tone to determine which key was pressed, enabling dialing.

Mobile phone networks use digital signals instead of DTMF for direct dialing, but DTMF is still used over mobile phones to navigate automated systems such as phone menus, and for secondary dialing, such as using a calling card.

Each DTMF "tone" is actually two tones - a low-frequency tone and a high-frequency tone - combined. (Hence the name "dual tone multi-frequency".) Looking at the standard phone keypad as a grid, the low tone corresponds to the row, while the high tone corresponds to the column.

So - if there's any overlap, it would be a functional overlap (read: defect) where the DTMF sequence started (without you) got as far as the mute/switchover-from-voice --> and 100% of that would be on your phone.

So, while I was biased that the short/long thing might be a placebo, I suspected that it was worth a try, because changing configuration for any buggy software can sometimes have positive side-effects.

~~~~~~

Look at it this way - if this has anything to do with towers or the signal downstream on the VZW network, then that is saying that your phone puts out a *different* digital voice signal than any other phone, and that is somehow locking their switching network from full-duplex operation (two can talk and listen at once) to simplex (one way comm).

And nothing about that idea passes my reasonableness test.

~~~~~~

The Dallas thing could be an indicator of a regional problem, or it could have a 12 day fluke. Need more reports from Dallas area before drawing conclusions.

~~~~~~

I'll see if I can track down any more, but in the meantime, at least you're not starting a face propeller using a hand-grenade ring in your tongue and a straw.

Because I know that's next. j/k great pic!

HILARIOUS! I thought I was beyond being surprised by you BB. I was wrong.

Believe it or not, my respect for you has gone up another notch and it was already off the chart.
