 DD>> after 5 seconds. To unlock it requires two separate key presses. IOW -

 NB>> Mine's an older model Motorola... I did get a leather case for it when

 NB>> up... just is..   But one can press the Menu key and then the Asterisk

 DD> That's what I have heard called a "Snickers Bar" phone. Never had one.
 DD> But, it ought to be OK so long as you remember to give it those two key
 DD> presses before putting it in a pocket or satchel.

Dunno that I'd heard that name before.... I've had it for a while now...
It replaced my original cell phone that went obsolete on me, being
analog... couldn't get a replacement battery for it either...  That may
be what finally does this one in, too...

 NB>> I don't expect calls much any more, but I've told folks that might

 NB>> when I'm not home to receive calls on the landline.  Assuming, of
 NB>> course, cell service where I might happen to be...  :)

 DD> There are some spots like that here in the Great American Outback.
 DD> Around Beardstown (where Georgia lives) is a major example. One of the
 DD> "movers and shakers" bought cell phone rights at the FCC auction then
 DD> set his price so high that only a couple of cell providers would meet
 DD> it - he'd have been better off in a financial sense had he been
 DD> reasonable and received several income streams.

Some days, one does wonder where their brains were...  ;)   My phone
finally has service at our camp at Boyd Pond... it was quite the
surprise to look at the phone when I arrived in May, to see that there
were actually two bars there, instead of the usual No Service... and
they were still there when I got inside the camp.  So I guess there
finally is a Verizon tower within range now...  :)

 NB>> I'll print it off, and bring with...  maybe with some help this
 NB>> mostly Eat might manage it...  ;)  Or someone else might be inspired
 NB>> to do it...  :)

 DD> Even without help - it's a pretty simple recipe and right tasty.

What's simple to you might not be quite so to me... but, well, maybe..
 
 DD>> I made this at my brother's house and my SIL threatened me with
 DD>> grievous bodily harm if I did not part with the recipe.   Bv)=  I
 DD>> think I hit a home run.
 NB>> Sounds like, to me...  ;)

 DD> Better than have her trying to hit a home run off my knee caps.  Bv)=

For sure!   :)
