I have a cell phone of the throwaway type and only use it for 911, calls to parents about tardiness, and friendly messages to a woman who has been kind of a friend since 2015 or so.

I had 135 plus messages to the lady telling her how things were going on various endeavors of mine.

So I was a little concerned when I got back from a trip to the postal center under threat of rain with an umbrella but with the pooch in tow and could not locate the phone nor the golf cart key.

Re-checked the golf cart, beneath golf cart, the pants' pockets, the charger if I had actually forgotten to take it along to the postal center, etc. Retook my journey to and from the Postal Center looking at road and grass beside it. Walked around the postal center. Returned home but left the umbrella in my bedroom near the closet.

Asked my parents if they had seen my cell phone and my Dad suggested I call the number. Being the stubborn person I am I did not do as suggested and just call the cell phone.

Started working on a letter to this woman telling her I had lost my cell phone but did not put it into the mail just as yet.

Worried all night about these 135 messages on who might see them even if this woman keeps an extremely small footprint on the web.

Decided I better not call her until I had more information.

Slept on it and finally decided I had better call the number when I heard the cell phone ringing in the house but could not locate it.

I rang it a few times but still could not figure out where the phone's chime was coming from.

Went into my room and called it again and it seemed to coming from the closet.

I rummaged all through the closet but could not find my cell phone.

Called the number again to try to get a fix on the cell phone and noticed that my umbrella was lighting up whenever I called the number.

I opened up the umbrella and out fell not only the cell phone but also the golf cart key which I had also been looking for along with the lost cell phone.

I erased immediately the 135 text messages to this woman and also took off the phone number of hers from it.

Ripped up the letter I had written to her but not sent about losing the cell phone.

Then eventually put her back on the phone but decided to remove my texts to her and her answers back as well.

Quite an experience a few months ago. Wish I had listened to my father rather than just stubbornly looking all over for the cell phone.

I often get calls from people I do not know on it so never pick these up. And the number that called that morning was another one of these unknown numbers to me.

The lady is still on my cell phone but I erase her messages (to and from) every few days and also take her number off just in case I lose the cell phone again. Then put it back on whenever I have something of note to tell her about.

I recently wrote her about this lost cell phone and the 135 messages on it, for instance, but have not heard anything back as yet.
