the house phone is still lost, however, we purchased a new phone tonight as the remaining handset has been so loved that the "6" key sticks. i took it as a sign that i needed new equipment.
on a side note, during the phone acquisition trip the birthday video camera was secured. funny story. so we decided on a camera and asked the clerk at fry's (who works on commission) to bring out said camera...he made his way into the stockroom and returned empty handed. apparently, sony has disco'd the model we wanted. he offered us the floor model (ew) and advised us to look at sony.com.
i felt very dismissed. we were looking to drop a couple thousand at fry's and this guy is too busy socializing with this colleagues to show us other options!?!
so i took the only jaws option possible. i demanded to see the store manager. he was very apologetic and took us back to the video camera department, where we were then treated like royalty. turns out that the lazy JA that advised us that the camera was disco'd could have also advised that for a mere $25 we could have the NEXT VERSION of the same camera, but instead, he lost the sale. i hope he's fired.
so ... the camera is charging now. look out world!
