Re: Explosion in NY

[ Edited ]

I like this headline from USA Today.   This is America for you, and apparently especially those from New Jersey Smiley Happy

I just saw a news item that said they think the bombs in New York and New Jersey were done by the same person (or persons?).

Are those still sold?  Aren't they from years ago?  I don't even have a cell phone, so I guess I shouldn't talk.  The good thing about this is that if they're right about this they only have to track down one perpetrator(s).

I still see an occasional flip phone. LOL  I guess you can buy them on ebay or junk shops.

The NYC are pretty savvy and I'm positive they'll find the person or persons behind this. Years ago they tracked down a Connecticut resident who had driven to Pennsylvania for fireworks in a failed attempt to set off a bomb in Times Square.

my ex uses a flip phone because they seem to be sturdier and he tends to drop his a lot while working. he gets them brand new at a verizon store.

My apologies to anyone who still have and use flip phones.  I thought they were no longer being made.

Well, I don't even have a cell phone, so that gets me off the hook regarding my ignorance.  To tell the truth, I never could figure out how to answer them, as I rarely used them.  It would ring and I would call back the person I thought was calling and say, "Did you just call me?"  They are not designed right, if you ask me.
