Phone niche finished
Comments (6)P.S. Friends teased us about this niche in its unfinished state over the weeks and said what we really should do is put a saint in there. One friend even identified which saint it should be, St. Swithin, because of the eggs: "Swithun was Bishop of Winchester from 30 October 852 to his death on 2 July 862.[1] However, he is scarcely mentioned in any document of his own time....when he gave a banquet he invited the poor and not the rich" "Only one miracle is attributed to Swithin while he was alive. An old lady's eggs had been smashed by workmen building a church. Swithin picked the broken eggs up and, it is said, they miraculously became whole again." Handy for a kitchen, yes? This traditional rhyme is also fun. St. Swithin's day is July 15 in England: "St Swithin's day if thou dost rain For forty days it will remain St Swithun's day if thou be fair For forty days 'twill rain na mair" I guess we decided to honor the phone, not the 9th century bishop, which is perhaps more in keeping with the 21st century....See MoreCell phone towers?
Comments (11)Just MPO...unless you need the income from the lease...I would not renew the lease and I would insist the cell phone company remove their tower. Food for thought....at some point in time you may wish to sell the land...all of it...and potential buyers may not wish to have a high cell tower anywhere on the land. Ergo..it will have a detrimental effect on property sale/value. Another thought...if you decide to sell the land...there's really no telling what this current cell phone company...or a future buyer of that cell phone tower company...will do with the land. They could add more towers or communication equipment. They could request a permanent egress route if there isn't one now. How would that effect your privacy/property? Their future equipment might interfere with your home communication/electronic equipment. Local laws may prohibit some things...but this company has a much bigger voice and more money to go back to the town for variances that might not please you. Last of my thoughts but not the least...the tower company/companies might go bust! It's happened in my neck of the woods. They don't have the funds to remove their equipment and the property owner is either stuck with the monstrosity on their property...or to pay for removal themselves [costly]...or to take the defunct company to court for any number of contract infractions requiring them to remove the tower or them pay for its removal. Any way you look at this scenario...it's costly both financially and mentally. All tolled...I personally don't like the deal at all and would extricate myself from the entire project as soon as you legally are able....See MoreScary cell phone battery story........so I need some cell phone advice
Comments (20)This isn't a phone brand issue ... this is a battery issue. I've had a Macbook battery that did a partial melt ... my ipad battery is having issues ... my sister had a macbook battery that also charred ... so you should all probably get rid of your Apple products too! My son was also recently having battery issues with his Google phone overheating. Again, this is a battery technology issue. My husband is into remote control planes and he charges most of his batteries in special heat/explosion resistant containers. Just the nature of the technology. I'll continue to buy ipads and I'll continue to buy Samsung phones. My son will probably buy another Google phone. When you look at the total number of phones that have sold worldwide, the number of defective products is very small. I even owned the infamous Samsung Note 7, mine had no issues, but were still recalled. I've owned the Samsung Galaxy 7 without issues and will probably upgrade soon to a Note 9 or Galaxy 10, or wait for the Note 10 later this year....See MoreGreat. My iPhone8 seems to have died. What size? Don't like big phones
Comments (11)Thanks, ladies. I've tried reviving it through iTunes and through the volume/shutdown buttons, but no luck there either. I was on Verizon support, too. It looks like the 12 mini is about the same size so maybe that. I guess if I'm going to buy I will go with the latest technology. Yeah, all of a sudden going to bed last night it froze and got stuck in the shutdown mode. That's how my previous one died, too....See More- 10 years ago
