As you may remember, I accidentally washed (And effectively DESTROYED) my beloved IPOD shuffle. It was a gift from my sister-in-law, “Nooncy” and it was one of my favorite things on the planet. It was even orange. When I saw it laying there in the washing machine, I felt just like Charlie Brown.
“I’ve killed it.”
Sniff.
Nooncy told me that as it was under a year old, I could apply to get a new or rebuilt IPOD sent to me. So, I went on apple’s website and did just that. For $29.99 plus shipping, they would send me a new one. Considering that they are around $80.00, this is a great deal.
I got it THE NEXT DAY!!
AND!!!
It was ORANGE!!!!!!
See? Identical. The new IPOD is on the right. My old IPOD is on the left.(His name is “Garfield”. Yes, I am lame and nickname everything. Blame it on my father. He even had a nickname for Oatmeal Cookies. He called them, “Jillda’s” If he added cocoa to the batter, they became “Gorrila’s”. Yes, he is definitely a weirdo. I suppose I had to get it from somewhere, right?)
I’m totally estatic. This means that I can actually have music to listen to when I go to California at the end of the month. Yay!
I guess the only thing left to do is to name the new one. I think you all should help me.
Suggestions?
P.S.
The name Anna Maria Stanzetti is taken. It’s my father’s nickname for my twin sister. Oh, so is Phineas. That was the nickname of my printer. :)
Comona Wanalaya? Harry Dick? Anita Hand? I think we could work around these names- something along these lines would be good…
Nemo? Eh, just a thought.
That is one mighty big bag for a tiny little ipod to be mailed in!
whoawhoawhoa…California? Which part?
“Tide”
Okay, hold the phone… “TIDE” is brilliant! Full name could be “Tide with Bleach”
Cute!
Yes, I echo Fryod, California? What part?
Pippy Longstocking!
If you’re going to name it after a detergent, it has to be Gain, right?
Because it was (sort of) resurrected from the flood, (washer), Neptune, Noah, Poseidon?
Oh, oh, teacher, call on me! Little Mermaid!!!!
Or how about just plain old Fred…..
I will be in Oceanside and then up to Anaheim for the day to go to Disneyland, so I don’t think that is really around anyone.
However, Hairy (And LL2 if she is around) I know that eventually I will be in the bay area to visit my friend, “Aunt Amy” and I will be SURE to say HI!!!
Although, Hairy, I so want to have lunch when you’re here this summer.
The names are making me laugh. Sharon, Alas, Gain was but a daliance. Tide (With bleach) is the true love of my heart. My husband stopped buying powedered detergent because I liked to shake the box and take a big SNIFF!
He called me an addict and switched to liquid. He’s still afraid I’m going to get cancer of the nostrils. :)
Yes, yes, yes! When you’re in the area you MUST say hello!
And I’m totally planning on lunch this July. It’s at the top of my list of things to do in Utah.
apple is awesome, no? that is one of the best customer service stories i’ve heard in a long time.
good for you!
I love a happy ending. (Because I will probably end up washing my soon-to-be too.) ;)
Also, does that mail lable say “LDS”? Hee. Ironic.
I am OCD and must comment on my comment to say that I meant “label” not “lable”. My apologies.
I’ve decided.
Ehem***
TIDE, it is.
