Rant, grrrr man:

 

Our cell phone is lost and goes straight to voicemail when we call it, grrrr man.

Last time that we saw it was midday in the casa, kitchen table man.

We then went on errands and quickly realized that we'd not brought it, :bonk: man.

However, it was not where we thought we'd left it, no man.

We have searched everywhere, no see we man.

Remote possibility is that it was left on top of the T-B.-mobile, but we'd have put it in man.

If left there, rubber case would have kept it from sliding off or someone would've honked, reason we man.

Various online methods of "find your lost phone" are a joke, grrrrRRRRR man.

Google refuses to work, "Google can't find your phone because it's not on" :bonk: man.

We are out of ideas and would appreciate some, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

Oh man that sucks. If you had FB you could message yourself or call it through FB that way it wouldn't go to VM. But it sounds like your phone is off too. 

Hmm I know there is something that will call your phone I think it turns it on if it's off too. I could be making this up because I have zero memory of what I heard from my kids.

Scintillating Saturday repartee, yawn man.

------

Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

Awoke groggier than usual to sounds of workers trimming trees in mini-park, start LATER man.

Hosted Ex-Mrs.-T-B. to pick through leftover Mini-B. clothes to send to Ecu, pick ex-she man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. went into bedroom closet to scavenge her leftover stuff, eyeroll we man.

"Don't let Miu get in the closet!" cautioned we to ex-she man.

-- ES, see above man

-- Many (One-Cent-Less-than-a-Buck Only), spend we man

-- Dollar General, spend we man

Didn't see miu either, no miu see we man.

 

Lunch/din-din (at half-past 2 p.m.) = Many (2+2) hot dogs, ingest we before buns went bad man.

Nap for a wholly inadequate hour-plus, zzz and need more we man.

No sign of miu before or after, strange man.

 

Awoke even groggier than before, grog we man.

Went to legacy supermarket* for weekly pre-Mini-B. shopping, $pend we man.

   *with Many%-off coupon and $Many gift card, financially savvy we man

Got next year's T-B.-mobile registration sticker at service desk, get it done and $pend we man.

Began shopping, wander aimlessly groggy we man.

So groggy that we made off with someone else's cart, very good-natured she man.

Spent $Many, which would have been $Many without card/coupon, either good or bad deal man.

 

Returned to casa, cupboarded groceries, and saw neither cell phone nor miu man.

Performed fruitless search for cell phone, see above man.

Phoned Ex-Mrs.-T-B., who was out for din-din with the Rojo, regards & sympathies man.

At 2 a.m. Sun., it struck us that a strange rattle/thump that we heard during pre-noon errands on Sat. meant that the phone fell off the top of the T-B.-mobile where we'd left it before beginning our drive, si and needed-zzz we man.

 

We phoned the local police dept., which sent its beat officer to scope the street & curb, see man.

However, he saw nothing, no see man.

We went out on Sun. morning after sunrise to look ourself, no see we either man.

We bought a new phone from Worst Buy for $Many00, however a $Many00 discount man.

We then caucused with service provider, caucus we man.

They will expedite a new SIM card, wait till Tues. or Wed. we man.

They are cautiously hopeful that the data, contacts, etc. can be restored, fingers crossed man.

Many (2+1) sardines-in-water,

As a card-carrying Seattle Swede/Finn from Ballard, I approve this dietary choice.  Sardines are a major part of the JDig luncheons.  It also works to assist in my COVID/"Seattle Freeze" introversion, in that once that tin is cracked open, I can safely isolate in the hospital cafeteria without having to issue RBF glares.   No one dare enter the Jorgedig sardine bubble of doom!

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.
