:? My phone died :O As a 21 year old, this is devastating...
A Galaxy S III too. Why oh why, did it have to die so young? It had so much to give.

On the bright side it looks like there is a chance of it being sent off for repairs. I was worried about the warranty being voided because there is quite a small chip that they could blame on the problem, even though that chip occurred nearly a year ago. I was upfront and honest in the email though, giving extensive explanation and high quality photos to state my case. I received an email this morning that I've been referred to a "Senior Support Representative" :lol: ,so hopefully it all works out.

In the meantime I'm using this piece of shit called a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo, which is the cheapest phone I could find that runs Android, takes a micro SIM and is not locked to a carrier. It's not $120 I'd planned on spending especially with study fees approaching, but I guess shit happens.

Ticked - lost alot of money over the weekend due to either damage to items, or the pool pump breaking...

Smiled - thanks to Majors I now want more candy cabs, specifically an Irem Madonna for verts.

What is wrong with the pump? On mine the mounting bolts between the inlet strainer and pump impeller housing sheared off. Over thirty years old, the bolts rusted out. Had to drill and retap the holes and now have stainless steel bolts. Luckily the inlet pipe is PVC so all I had to do is cut it to clear the drill job and then add a sleeve with blue glue.

Ours is one sealed unit. I have to have it functioning by Saturday so I am just buying one online and then I will crack this open to see what is wrong. If I can fix it, I will have a backup pump (never a bad thing to have).

All I know is that a bearing blew out and it was not pumping, if it is just a bad bearing, great, easy fix. But since my wife is holding a party this weekend, I need to have a functioning pool.

Funny.

I got into another fight with my mom. She's aggravated at me going out with my friends so often without having a job to pay for it. She's not wrong, but the way she said it just plain pissed me off, and the fact that she still has to cover some of my sister's expenses despite her having a full time job, and never questioning it pisses me off to no end. And I've never gotten into any legal trouble with my friends. On the other hand, my sister got an MIP and tattoo over spring break once, along with being drunk and public and such. It just seems so shit. We've also been over the fact that any job where I have to work much with people isn't going to work with me, and that's all I've been able to find.

There arent many jobs at all that dont require interaction with other people.
