I buy and have sold on there too. All my cellphones came from there except for when I start a new plan. My phrase (common) for today is 'too much to do and not enough hours in the day'. Wallpaper? I have Naveen Andrews as the wallpaper on my phone, does that count?? Cheesecake and boating day, sounds good to me! Ill take some cheesecake and go boating when I get home to Calif this afteroon, lol.

Well it wasnt really personal "fame"..... but I got to meet Rev. Martin Luther King on a one to one informal basis. I had just volunteered to work for the SCLC and was staying in Atlanta....in a house that MLK had just moved out of and donated to the movement. The door bell rang and I answered it.....there he was! He asked if he could come in and said he wanted to walk thru the house with someone who was staying there....to explain a few quirks....water heater.....kitchen switches etc. ... I invited him in....(since I was the newest volunteer....and there were folks who had been in the movement for a long time.....I was quickly replaced by the more senior folk.....but I got to meet the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and tell him how much I admired him and invite him into the house.

Mike forgot about his 15 minutes of fame story when he was in a meeting with the executives and found out that you had a wardrobe malfunction. I’ll never forget his story about it, I can't find the original post he made. LOL
