Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[SashimiTurtle]

So I know I am officially married now. Sherry is upgrading to the x and I am getting her old phone because mine is a point of sale.

For years, the kids got the new phones and I got the crappy ones. Now, it's her turn.

I have had cell phones since 94 without a break and have had 4 new phones in all that time.

I got my first cell phone in 04. I was... 19? I know, dang youngins. I was in tech school, and my mom planned a summer vacation, the last one as an entire family, or so she had hoped... Summer semester started up right when they left, and the program I was in did not guarantee you a position in the fall if you took the summer off. So, mom bought me a cell phone because she was worried I wouldnt have a way to get in touch with anybody driving back and forth to Columbia to school if something happened.

Since then, all my cell phones have been on me, and they are usually the latest and greatest when I buy them, and then keep them for about 2 years and upgrade to the next latest and greatest. I'm currently on a Galaxy S10+.

Mine was a Jr Brick in 97 as a 20 year old. Work paid for all mine until about 2007 and I wanted an expensive Dumb Phone.

Idk if these are the right games, but you are welcome to it. Maybe trade for a frag of something? It works on 3 out of 4 of my flatscreens. Our new smart tv doesn't like it for some reason. It uses the old RCA connector like a vcr.

Lol. I know how to play all of them!!!

 

[Katrina71]

I rarely trade phones. I keep mine for years.

@12gallonsofhex you are welcome to anything I can give you. No need to trade anything.

Kyocera Slider, tough phone. Can't tell you how many times I dropped it working on cars or threw it in my tool box on top of a bunch of wrenches...

My first was a Nokia something...I had it so long they asked to buy it when I traded. It was about 9 years old at that point. No camera or text options.

My favorite was a tiny LG flip. It fit in the little change pocket of a pair of jeans. Pretty sure it could text when that became a thing but wasn't easy.

My first was a Nokia too. 2003. I lost it in a white stretch limo on the way to a Black Sabbath concert. It was the middle of July and 95% of the guys at the show were wearing leather jackets in an un-air conditioned venue.

My first cell phone was installed in my new 1989 Honda Prelude. I miss the car, but not the phone. Imagine only being able to make calls from your house (landline) or car. Ha.

Another freaking live sale here today. GRRRRRRRRR!

 

[dantimdad]

My first was a brick. And the same day they installed a bag phone antenna in the car with an antenna adapter for the brick. LOL!

I had a CB radio in my 1974 Trans Am - years before the Bandit did. :-)

Ugh. Guess I will check back after midnight. Heading to get my kids in a moment. Have a great day everyone!

 

[Katrina71]

Sometimes cell phones are not a blessing. Maybe only I have days like that.

Nope. I live for vacations when i can lose it or leave it on the dresser for days on end! True vacations dont have phones.

PC, Xbox One and occasionally Nintendo Switch gaming...

World of Warcraft on and off for the last 15 years, the last few expansions have been junk tho so I just play by myself on alts mostly to kill time. World of Tanks and World of Warships, both of which I dont play anymore. Sea of Thieves mostly on the Xbox, and whatever flavor of the month my clan of misfits decides to play before getting ADHD and switching to another game. Destiny 2 sounds like it will be interesting again now that Bungie got away from Activision. They are the ones responsible for ruining Blizzard(World of Warcraft developer) also.

Game publishers are ruining games now. The developers will create this awesome game, then the publisher makes them split it up into additional downloads to be released at a different time for for an additional charge and call it "DLC." Then add in what they call microtransactions where you can pay real life money for in game currency and it makes some games "pay to win."

Gone are the days of working for the cool armor or guns... just swipe mom and dads credit card and talk crap to the old guy who refuses to pay extra for a game he's already paid $60 for. It's all instant gratification and ungrateful kids now. Whippersnappers!

/end soapbox rant

I play destiny 2, it’s getting better now that they split, destiny 3 should be amazing. I played wow to back in the day, vanilla-cata

Lol, Aquarium Specialty is 15 minutes from the house. Scott and Matt are good people.

Do you ever visit Palmetto Reef? I met Will at RAP when I was helping them set up their Noopsyche lights. I need to head down there soon and get some goodies :)

@12gallonsofhex you are welcome to anything I can give you. No need to trade anything.

Thanks! If you would like the game send me an address and I will try to get it out this weekend.

Yep, I've been a few times. Bought some live rock from him a few years ago when I set up my 35 cube. Will is pretty cool also. He's in West Columbia over in Lexington county, I know you know EXACTLY where that is... but it's like the other side of the world for me to drive there. No exit off an interstate close so I have to drive thru Columbia to get there. I'm a country boy, used to 2 lane rural roads with little to no traffic. I hate Columbia. Esp driving thru downtown. The good thing about driving a lifted F250, people just move out of your way and automatically give you right of way. Fishy Business is easier to get to if I'm going to drive that far. It's right off I26 on Bush River Rd.
