Another Off Topic-FUN!! Personalized ring tones

[lvwildcat]

I started this topic on another forum and we had lots of fun with it.
I have personal tones for all the special people in my life.
Heres my personal list:
Ron-my awesome husband. I switch between 3 for him:
I'll be there for you Bon Jovi
Shook me all night long AC/DC
Anyway you want it Journey

Michael-my 19yo "baby"/wild child. He's a "self proclaimed plaaaayer
Hmm...thinking about it I've never seen the same girl twice at my house
You give love a BAD name Bon Jovi

Nick- my 20yo. The kid thats every parent's dream. Only 2 girlfriends-EVER!!!But he has moved in with friends for 3rd time in a year(yea-he'll be back;I kept his dog!) You're so independent so
It's my life Bon Jovi (I'm only slightly OBSESSED with JBJ!!)

ICU unit where I am a charge nurse
HIGHWAY TO HELL AC/DC

My boss laughed hysterically and found my choice very appropriate

Anyone else care to share and make us chuckle????

My ringtone is "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. In addition to being way too cool, it has the advantage of me not wondering if it's "me" whenever a cell phone rings. I've never run across anybody else who has it. My wife has 1985 by Bowling for Soup. GREAT song. The best line: "When did Motley Crue become classic rock?"

My wife has 1985 by Bowling for Soup.

Here I go quoting myself. There's gotta be a netiquette rule about that. Her standard is even better: the opening of Back in Black. The stories she's told me about being in meetings and her cell going off...

A few weeks ago I was in hospital cafeteria(a whooping 10 minutes) when my phone rang...Highway to Hell. Yes there was an emergency and they needed their mommy,I mean Charge Nurse

[THier]

My "standard" ringer is an old time bell ringer,

Wife calling from home is "looney tunes" theme

Wife calling from cell is "who can it be now" (men at work)

My friend who builds my transmissions and engines "heard it on the X" (ZZ Top)

My new phone has Ringer id,, so it vibrates, says "call from______" and says name or number, then rings.

Oh the funniest I ever heard was a guy I used to work with shared an apartment with two lesbians,, he made a ring tone that said, "the ----- are calling",, he almost lost his job when we were all in a meeting, with three levels of managers,, and his phone "rang" He fought it by calling them back (later in the day),, proved to management they knew his ring tone. But had to change it because of PC at work.

Mine just goes "ring ring".... "ring ring"... I don't have the web access stuff with my phone so I don't know how to change the rings.

On my old cell phone, I had a Kiss song and Crazy Train by Ozzie.

For my wife the ringer says: "Honey, this is your wife"
For friends it plays: "Fraggle Rock"
For business partner: "Mission Impossible"
For everyone else it says: "You don't like this person!"

Yes I am wierd.

[Bookbear]

Hmmm...

No cell phone

No pager

No fax at home

No cable

No satellite dish

Now, where's that roll of parchment? I KNOW I left it around here somewhere...

My ringtones are all the canned ones in the cell phone. Nothing exciting. Except for MOM: She gets the "Da-da-da-TAAA!" blare of trumpets. Remember that old margarine commercial where they "crowned" someone and the trumpets would blare? Her Royal Majesty gets that ringtone.

I used to have a ringtone that is a very old sailor shanty. I'd set my phone to that when I was at historical reenactments, so at least it wouldn't be SOOOOO horrible! It's really hard to keep track of my family at a big event, and sometimes we had to sneak off to the bathroom and check in and find out what the agenda was. I haven't figured out how to download that to my new phone yet... Must elicit help from 16 year old Niece...

My grandfather - 94 years old - gets the old fashioned bell phone ring. Problem is, I'm so UNUSED to hearing that noise, that it goes kind of unnoticed as a PHONE CALL. I just keep looking around, going "what's that noise?"

LOL,

How do you make your cell phone TALK to you? I tried to record my own ringtone - I found that function, and said "This is your Dad calling" but it is so low - even with the volume turned up - I can't hear it. I tried SHOUTING it, and it's still not audible enough.

I'd love to make my cell phone say who'se calling!!!! I don't always remember the ring tones I set on various people - other than Mom, of course. All things must stop for Her Royal Highness.

I have Nextel, and a Motorola Razr. If you have any tips, send them my way!!!

And Bookbear - Are you my former boss? He wouldn't even wear a wristwatch!!!! Can you imagine how difficult it was to say to the Mayor of a Major Metropolitan City (HIS boss) that I have no idea where he is, nor when he will be back, because he doesn't use his computer calendar, doesn't wear a pager or cell, and doesn't keep track of time. I used to call every office I could think of in town and ask "Is my boss there?"

But I must say - those of you without TV are so much more productive and creative than the rest of us. I keep trying to Kill My TV, but I keep going back. It's the worst addiction - I swear it's more destructive to our civilization than Meth - but it's LEGAL. Sigh...

Cheers,
B.

I'm part-way there.

I was dragged into a cell phone for medical reasons. The minutes I use each month is laughably low. I flat-out refuse to get a pager. My reasoning is there has to be time that nobody can get hold of me. Our fax machine only gets inbound faxes, and even then so rarely that people have to tell me beforehand so I can give the number and plug that phone line into the fax. (Don't need junk faxes wasting more paper.) The only uber-basic cable we get is stuff like the networks, Spanish language channels, QVC, and CSPAN. And no satellite dish.

Kind of funny for a guy who used to work in the software industry, eh?

Doug.

[Babette]

Well, you Greeners are weird that way.

DAWGS RULE!
UWT Class of 1994

For unknown calls: "Who can it be now" by Men at work
For hubby: Crazy Train by Ozzy
For Work: Twilight Zone
For friend who lost hubby: Wild Angel
For friend with cancer: Jesus take the wheel
For kids: What I like about you
In-laws: White and Nerdy

I change the unknown at Christmas to a couple of x-mas tunes! I love the response from others when they hear the "Who can it be now" ringtone!

It used to drive my hubby nuts that whenever I would get a new phone that I would download the tunes . . . buy now he likes it so much that he had me download for him as well. It makes it easier to know who it is so you don't interrupt whatever it is that you are doing.

Then you build a fire, and write the note, with one of the charred sticks, you started the fire with.

I guess that beats stone tablets and a chisel. Jim

Oh, I've progressed WAY beyond that stage, Goofproof! Quill and ink pot for me!!

Actually, I have three fountain pens I use in rotation, a beautiful sterling silver Parker my wife gave me years ago, an Art Deco 20's style black lacquer Waterman, and a celluloid barrel Diplomat.
