    I can't find my cell phone. Yes I've already backtracked, yes I've called it, yes I've checked my car, duffle bag, class, and house, yes I've checked the coaches office and the lost and found. At least it locks to a code if it's turned off. :mad:

    Does she ever come back with:

    "Yea, and if while it was there, I left it on vibrate, I wouldn't need you!"

    I don't get it. Her response is always negative too.

    My Samsung A500 phone has a service with Sprint that has a postition locator that tracks where it is at all times. I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is, but I don't think they could tell you that your phone is buried under the left couch cushion in your living room, for example...

    No, but I know for a fact it's not there. Here's the sequence of events from this morning.

    6:00 am--cell phone alarm wakes me up, so I know I had it at this am
    6:30 am--leave the house for 7:00 basketball practice. I'm almost sure that I put it in my duffle bag.

    6:50 am--get to school...leave duffle bag in car to pick up and change after practice

    8:15 am--grab duffle bag from car and go to coaches dressing room to change. Didn't notice phone, but wasn't looking either.

    12:00 noon--look for phone to take as I prepare to go to lunch. No phone...

    12:15--out for lunch/conference...check car and duffle bag, and coaches office...maybe I left it at home. Decide to go home to check...

    12:35--check at home...no dice...call phone from the house...no ring in house or in car. Getting really ticked off now.

    1:30--coming back to work...DPS stops me for passing a 30 mph snowbird in in a 55 mph no pass zone...no pass zone is on the down slope of an overpass. Get off w/ warning...can't even enjoy it...insurance in other car...dodged a bullet!

    1:45--check lost and found at school and coaches office.

    2:00--check phone messages after calling again...I had a call back at 6:48 am from home and I didn't hear it. Did I leave it on my car this morning? Did I imagine putting the phone in my bag this morning? Damnit...I hate not knowing!!!

    Was your car locked between 6:50 and 8:15 AM?

    time to buy a new one.

    I did that once about 2 years ago. Bought a brand spanking new cell phone to replace my old "brick"... lost in within a week. I kept calling it, but to no avail.

    Sadly, I had cancelled my one-year contract, paid the enormous sum, and bought a new cell phone after some calculation.

    I took the insane buyout clause figure and divided it by my monthly bill, giving me a number 'x' I decided to wait 'x' months before purchasing a new phone and starting a new plan... Therefore I really didn't technically lose any money, just the convenience of a cell phone (which really isn't all that convenient, seeing as how I hate to be at everyone's beck and call no matter where I go).

    end of boring tale.

    Yeah, but my son calls me on the cell. If I don't find it after a thorough search at home, I'm gonna have to break down and buy a new one...damnit!

    Are you certain the ringer is turned on? I wonder if it could be on vibrate or off. Perhaps that's why you didn't hear it ring.

    Maybe not, just trying to help though.

    I think the coach you had a confrontation with regarding "calling" up the basketball players from the younger team took it as a joke :).

    I was golfing last year and went to park the cart. On my way to the car, I realized I left my cell in the front portion of the golfcart so I turn around. Now this was a matter of 50 ft or les, not far at all. I get back, the wrappers from my candy, the wrapper from my breakfast taco and the napkin I used are all in the little compartment but my phone is gone!!! I remember seeing the phone cuz it was the 18th hole and my left leg was kicked up on the front part while we were driving. ANYhOW, I ask the cart attendant and he said, "maybe it flew out of the cart". YEAH RIGHT! All that other paper crap was in there but my phone flew out?! You know those compartments have a lips too, so theres no way.
    I wonder how many phones that dude keeps a year like that? A-hole!:mad:

    Anyhow, I had to get a new phone. BUT the Nokia I had was over a hundred bucks, the first one I got was at a discounted price when I signed up. SO, in order to get the cheaper price, I had to sign another contract for another year. Not only that, you'll have to get a new chip to. What a hassle! Man, I hope you find that phone.
    Losing phones sucks!:(

    Nah...he wouldn't be able to put think up that one . I think his idea of a good joke is the old "Look up, look down, your pants are falling down" He'd be ROTFLHAO:rolleyes:!

    Well, I think I'll be heading out to buy a new phone. I might go with a fancy one this time...I have some christmas money left over. *sigh*:rolleyes:
