Also, now I am ...Jamie - girl where have you been? Also, now I am scared of Vicky and she knows it. I have left her in her little case and have been printing mapquest directions. I feel like I am cheating, but at least I am alive. Right after you wrote that I read about those stupid, I mean poor, people that drove into the middle of nowhere into a snowstorm. I swear I wont let Vicky to that to me. And you better have a long talk with Genie. Tell her she can be replaced!<br /><br />EP - I never thought about the GPS trying to pronounce foreign names. I bet that was hysterical!<br /><br />Rebekah - yes, they have gotten so much better that they actually think they are better than you. I am not sure I like the tradeoff though...<br /><br />Blaez - if I ever get a spare Vicky, i will send her your way. I wont even have to tell her how to get there. She will just know...<br /><br />Debbie - I will have you know that Vicky shows has no bias or prejudice when it comes to neighborhoods. They are all just maps to her. I find this interesting considering that Vickys are the most stolen things out of vehicles. Perhaps she SHOULD pay better attention!<br /><br />Jenny - I want to believe Vicky has a British accent but I know she does not. But if she had, I would have been thrilled. I want to pick the voice that I want to hear. Also, you are a slave driver! First your Vicky and now your son.<br /><br />Dewey - you are very clever. I, too, have a Blackberry but I cannot name it Barry now because you already have and I will look like a copycat. So I shall name it either Blackie or Drew (for Drew Barrymore, get it?). Also it is cool you can call your ipod nano "nan" but what the hell am I supposed to call my ipod touch? Touche?<br />P.S. The kids will probably still think you are a weenie. And they will think I am one too, I am sure.<br /><br />Saratogajean - no, but Vicky does make me buy food that is bad for me. At least that is what I would like to believe. I wonder if Vicky could make B buy me jewelry. That would be a score.<br /><br />Also? I love you for wondering about Alaska's 30 days of night. And Vicky doesn't have night mode, I dont think? I need to learn more on the subject. Where is a vampire when you need one?*~Dani~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/17612436784036093853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20454557.post-19246002282585152032010-01-06T14:27:24.810-05:002010-01-06T14:27:24.810-05:00Does Vicky force you to buy her jewelry like that ...Does Vicky force you to buy her jewelry like that creepy Jarrod commercial?<br /><br />On a side note, I'm always amazed that my sister's Vicky knows when to switch to "night time" mode, and how would that work in Alaska during the 30 days of night...ah, simple pleasures.saratogajeanhttp://badmuthafudruckers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20454557.post-30504788427428470212010-01-05T12:46:55.154-05:002010-01-05T12:46:55.154-05:00My two BFF's are Barry and Nan.

That is what happened with me and my Garmin (whose name is Genie) and than she cruelly abused me the whole way home from New Mexico. She was so wonderful navigating around El Paso (and you definitely need one there if you aren't a local) and zipping to various destinations in Las Cruses, but when it came time to head back to Nebraska she had a total meltdown and took me three hours out of my way through the seventh circle of hell (aka Kansas). When I was two miles from home, Genie insisted I drive another ten miles to a main highway and then backtrack around another fifteen miles to enter my town from the opposite direction. Genie also instructed me to go off roading in the river outside of Liberal, Kanas and I wisely ignored her. Genie is great to have along for the ride, but be wary of relying too much on her. How have you missed the two very recent instances of people getting stranded in snow because their Garmin told them to go a better way. The old couple of even filmed a good bye video on their cell phone.Jamienoreply@blogger.com
