So today I got my third replacement phone.
My first one would freeze, lag, shut itself off, I couldn't do anything with it because it would freeze at the press of a button.
They sent me a replacement phone.
Right out of the box it started scrolling on its own, its a blackberry with a track pad, and it would just go right through the screens on its own, it just drained my battery, when it vibrated it rattled :/ like it was loose or something, it would shut itself off and when it rebooted none of my preferences would be there, my icons would be changed, my wall paper would be gone, etc.
The third one came in the mail today...I am still restoring my data right now on it and as soon as I do that I will check to see if any of those glitches happen.
I sometimes wonder about the integrity of some companies because when the quality of something is less than desirable they don't seem to care. It's all, "Well too bad, here wait a week with your POS device and we'll send you the same exact phone and if it has issues then WDGAF"
I wish I could start up my own cell phone company.
I would offer truly unlimited plans, my service would be better, I would have better rules etc. Like upgrades every 6 months, if your phone breaks I will replace it in store for you. And I will sell nice phones, vast selection of smart phones etc. Oh, my prices would be low too.
There is no right way or wrong way. It's finding out what works for the particular child/children/family. I just thought I'd throw out a suggestion.
My mother made me go into my room and I couldn't come our until I had a smile on my face. Torture! Waterboarding would have been easier. (I wasn't fighting with my siblings. I was fighting with my mother. Again. And little Miss Grumpypants was NOT going to give in by pretending to be cheerful. My poor mother. )
Hi all!
For seven rather difficult years (understatement LOL) I had three children (my bio daughter, and two stepsons who lived with us). It took a while to sort out the most effective forms of discipline. #1 stepson loved to read and was a solitary kind of kid - sending him to his room was heaven on a stick for him. But he hated doing chores, so his punishments were based on raking leaves, washing the car... stuff like that. #2 stepson loved doing chores - he had a ton of energy. So the best punishment for him was to give him time-outs where he could see everything going on but couldn't participate. My daughter was a sociable child who liked to be with the gang, whether she was participating or not. So sending her to her room worked best for her.
For much of those seven years I was Mrs. Grumpypants.
DS7 actually enjoyed being alone in his room today. Go figure. Oh well. I got some quiet time anyway. Once I let them out we spent quite a while doing chores.
Thanks for the reminder. It really is important to keep up with that and it's easy to put it off.
