I've already sent you a PM like a week ago which I don't think you saw because I didn't get an answer. I have tried sending you several texts to tell you that my iPhone is partially fried. I had a power outage and my phone was plugged into a bad outlet, or something.... anyways it's fried and I can't read most of your texts... I could read them up until the other night... they look like this (#@$U#)($#@ I've tried sending you several and I can see you replying but I don't know what you are saying and you are calling me but I CAN'T ANSWER!!! It doesn't work! I can't slide the bar over that lets me answer calls and no one can hear me when I call them. Is something wrong? You have called/texted a lot. This is why I sent you a PM! I can't access my contacts either... half of my touch screen doesn't work. Meaning I can't look up your number and just call from someone's phone. Until I get it replaced it is useless! But they aren't exactly cheap to replace so I haven't done it yet. I don't know what else to say!!! Contact me through here. If anyone talks to Joe can you please pass on this message in case he doesn't see it??? I thought he got one of my texts about it but maybe not....

For anyone else reading this, this is why if you have called me in the past week and a half I have not answered. I can't.

Also, the same power outage caused the heater to kick off overnight in my snakeroom (while we were sleeping). The snakeroom is walled off in our basement, insulated and all but I guess the heater was off long enough and it got cold. The rest of my basement IS cold. I think normally the snakes would have been just fine except for it got so cold so fast. Now a bunch of my garters are coughing and wheezing INCLUDING MY FAVORITE FEMALE REDSTRIPED RIBBON and MY FLAMES and a few other snakes I do NOT want to lose. I've already lost 2. I'm not happy... I don't have that many garter snakes anymore and now the few that I have which are dear to me, even if just pets aren't feeling well
