bon, did the phone you give me have a speaker phone on the handset? I'm having a dopey moment.
Thanks, -t. Pain's easing up so far, but I'm definitely going to be screwed this week with meds running out early. Ah, well.
Old trusty soda machine. I push you for root beer, you give me Coke.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I totally want one of those for Kato!
...is that wrong?
Only if you get one and then fail to supply us with pictures of Kato wearing it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't remember, but probably. But I included the manual in the bag.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That reminds me, I've been taking advantage of the insanely strong Aussie dollar to do some overseas shopping. David Attenborough's recent series, Life, retails for $90 at the ABC Shop here. I can currently order it from Amazon UK for $30, including shipping. So I did, along with a Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister boxed set for a work colleague of Wallybee's (she shares her birthday with Ryan, and has taken an auntiesque interest) and Burnt by the Sun, a Russian movie set in the Stalinist purges, for her employer. (I asked her if we should we read anything into her choosing a movie about the worst excesses of socialism to give to a union boss.)
I ordered them at the start of the week. They arrived yesterday. They crossed oceans and continents in three days. This is beyond awesome.
(PS: Life is breathtakingly gorgeous.)

Manual? WTF is that?
Oh, okay, right.

serial: It does not appear to. Huh. I did not consider they made phones without that. I may end up buying another model then.

Ebay it, given your electrical situation. Is it possible you've connected it to a socket that is connected to a switch that's been turned off?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Came home to find the cats had dropped a catnip toy into their water dish. I fished it out and changed the water, since the silly critters didn't seem interested in the catnip "tea" that resulted.

Well, maybe they didn't know that until they tried it.

The phone works fine, just the feature set. For working from home I need hands free for con calls.
As for the magic of the killing of the other phones, the bases all work fine, but the batteries in the handsets die (I even replaced batteries for one iteration of phone, and it only gave me a few months). I just dunno. I look askance at people who claim their body field breaks watches, but seriously, cordless phones cannot really have as short a shelf life as my apartment implies.
