Brico and I have a wonderful relationship with only one real problem – cell phone communication. In fact, Brico even blogged about it.
For weeks, I had been complaining to Brico that he sounded like a robot when he called me. I’d answer the phone and hear R2D2 on the other end. I’d sigh, hang up the phone, and call him right back. And when I called him back, his voice would be as clear as a bell!
Brico’s explanation was always, “My battery is almost dead. That’s why. My phone won’t hold a charge for even an hour!” My response was always, “You need a new phone!”
A few days ago, Brico called me, and he sounded as excited as a kid in a candy store – a kid R2D2 in a candy store!
“How do I sound?”
“You sound like a robot. You need a new phone. Let me call you back.”
“Tish! I just spent $260 on a new phone! And I still sound like a robot? Maybe you’re the one who needs a new phone!”
“Umm, well, you said you needed a new battery anyway.”
“Yes, but I could have bought a new battery for much cheaper than $260!”
“Sorry, baby. I love you!”
Oops! So, as a testament to my love for the most wonderful man in the world, I went to Best Buy yesterday and spent $270 on a new phone!
I just didn’t have the heart to tell Brico that he sounded like a robot again last night!

Aw nuts!!! If you pay me $260 I’ll interpret. Just an idea since you’re into giving away money!!!

wandering girl beat me too it….I could use the cash these days…..& just THINK of the new blog posts I could get out of NumNums & Robotboy’s conversations!!
OF course I would have to turn around and give to the dentist after listening to all that gooey love-smunches ….

Have you considered the chance he is a robot? Or using a robot when you call him, so he can be off doing guy things while your chatting on the phone?

So you need to figure out why he sounds like a robot when he calls…you’re obviously using different service providers???

The moral to the story is don’t buy new phones unless you definitly know that, that is the problem or you’ll be spending $530 on new phones you don’t need.

perhaps you just need to adjust how he (or you) holds it - the latest phones have the tiniest little mics in a dot sometimes in a place that seems counterintuitive. Moving the phone right up to your lips can sometimes work wonders (rather than holding it all relaxed down near your neck…)

A couple of robots! I myself don’t even have a cell phone, but when I talk to people who do the call is always dropping out or sounds like crap. Technology!

Maybe you guys are on different cell phone providers and its a secret conspiracy to get y’all to change over….LOL
