I truly can see why Apple has this obsession to sue. That must be their only way of beating the competition.

If you have an Android that can do all of that...why would you want an iPhone? I just do not see it.

I was working at the main. Snugged all the neutrals/grounds on the bus bar and inspected the wires on the circuit in question. Also checked the connections at the first junction box that breaker feeds.

Lights have stopped flickering for now,(don't know what I did) but I don't expect it to last. The breaker itself was considerably warmer than the rest. I got issues to resolve still.

Ahhh yes, proud owner of a GS3 here too. Speaking of which, why yes, we do talk about the TL. Just the other day I was seeking advice how to remove the rusty bolts from my OEM j-pipe which brings me to my other topic have a look at the awesome macro ability of the SGS3.

For all of you Android or GSIII owners...get Bump! It's the easiest way to transfer pictures from your phone to online in URL format for posting on forums and such. Go to http://bump.com on your browser and you will tap the spacebar with your phone and it will share the photos you select form within the gallery. Pure awesomeness. There are a ton of obscure features that the SGSIII has too. It's awesome. Have a look here for a huge list of stuff that our phones can do that Apple won't have until the Iphone 9.

I'm not breaking my commitment to snark about Apple...just wanted to share a dialogue I had with a fruit worshipper that I work with who tried to play down the Sammy Galaxy S3 recently...I held off on posting about it until now. And yes, it's sad...but, true.

Him: "So, how you liking that new phone? See a huge difference than your work iPhone?"
Me: "Yes. Love the swipe, widgets, and ability to multi-task on different apps."
Him: "I think the fact that it does not have retina display makes it overpriced. And they copy so much of Apple."
Me: "...Wait...you're saying the Sammy is overpriced. And let's not go into the copycat argument...I don't have all morning."
Him: "Yup. For something made in China and mass produced..."
Me: "...And where do you suppose your iPhone that you lined up for 5 hours for and had to take time off from work is made from?"
Him: "Apple ensures they use the best products for the phones. I'm sure the manufacturer is top notch!"
Me: "You know what? I think I have to go prep for a meeting...let's pick this conversation up again sometime. I'll call you."

Way better than the day I had.

I spent the last day in the hospital. I was on location and didn't have cell service and work sent a guy out to relieve me due to my wife spending all day Sunday in 2 different hospitals. My oldest son had stomach pains and the 1st CT scan showed something going on with his appendix.
That was at 1st hospital but they had no surgeons so they sent them to the 2nd hospital where they sat for around 12 hours with only contact from a nurse. That was around the time I finally got service and started making calls.
I told my wife I was gonna start tossing the place as soon as I got there and then we were leaving to Lubbock TX where Texas Tech is. (which is also where my youngest son went after he was born 7 weeks early).
She had gotten dismissed from the 2nd hospital before I got there and was awaiting me to get home so we could go to the 3rd hospital. Needless to say when we got there we IMMEDIATELY got better service.

Turns out though we got a 2nd CT scan last night and it was a high resolution one and out of 3 doctors 2 surgeons and they sent it to a couple of specialists they could not see anything. They also examined the 1st scan from previous hospital.

So he did not have appendicitis and all is well now. My mom flew in this afternoon so we picked her up ate at Olive Garden and came home.

Sorry for the rant. I don't really have anyone to tell this to. And I am a little drunk.

And I found out my real brothers wife is preggo.

Being a lil drunk always helps the rambling LOL. Glad ur wife was smart enough to get a second & 3rd opinion. Having a background in healthcare i have seen wayyyy too often ppl take the Dr's word as scripture & have it gone bad-fast. It's always better safe than sorry. Hope now that you are satisfied with the results it was actually nothing and he doesn't have the pains anymore. I'm a firm believer in stress causing inexplicable things and then de-stressing relieves the symptoms.
