Telephone Booths!

I've just gotten to the third disc of L.A. Noire! Do you remember when there used to be alot of public telephone booths on almost every street corner? We'll when I was playing L.A. Noire I saw that they have a telephone booth that has two sides, one side is for the police to use and the other side is for the public to use. I thought that was interesting because I didn't know that they did that in the 1940's. They don't even have public telephone booths anymore let alone one that has a side for the police and a side for the public. I think there are some left in airports and in some random shopping centers but, you don't really see them anymore. I think it's because everyone has a cellphone now and they don't need to use the telephone booths anymore. We don't even really use our house phones anymore and the only time we use it is when we lost our cell phones and we are trying to find it by calling it from our house phone. lol! I'm glad that everyone has a cell phone now because I think it's better than having to stand by the phone or, having to use public a phone that has alot of other people's germs on it. The only problem with cellphones is that they say that it might cause cancer. That's not good!

    good for you for getting to the third disc already!! WTG!!! I do remember telephone booths and I even remember using them and phone calls used to be 10 cents!! I also remember we would walk by them and check to see if there was any loose change, sometimes we were lucky and found a quarter!

    I like the convenience of cell phones for emergencies, etc but I don't like that everyone "lives" on their cell phones it seems. They talk on them when driving, very unsafe, the phones go off during church which is distracting, and people will be shopping, talking on their cell phones, and you can hear their conversations, which is sometimes not the best of conversations to be hearing. So I think cell phones are good if not overused, if that makes sense. I only usually take mine when I'm walking Koda by myself or driving somewhere by myself in case of emergencies :)

    have a good weekend!

    Ya, that's true I guess they can be annoying sometimes. I always liked finding loose change also. : )

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Image
Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

White Lies

She smiled through her white lies as she wandered from table to table. Being a waitress was not one of her funnest jobs and she didn't feel like explaining the menu to every single person. "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" "They are all good!" she would say with a wearied smile. She didn't think that the food was all that good though, except for maybe the hamburger, but even that wasn't all that great either and she wanted to tell the truth, but it was her only job and she didn't want to lose it. Wandering and wandering through the tables day in and day out. Until one day she collapsed and it happened, the pasta fell all over the man in the suits shirt. "I ordered the food to eat it, not wear it!" Said the man in the suit with a sarcastic tone to the waitress. The waitress looked at the man in horror. "I'll..I'll...clean it up" she ...
