Bells Are Ringing
Posted by Heather MacAllister in Heather MacAllister, tags: cell phones, Heather MacAllister, ringtones
While standing in line during the holiday rush . . . and why is it called “holiday rush” when we spend so much time standing in line? ANYway, I amused myself by assigning different ringtones to the contact list in my phone. My hubby got the Angry Birds theme because after years of being all superior because he wasn’t addicted to computer or phone games, guess who I caught playing Angry Birds? One son got the Harry Potter theme and the other got Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping” (I Get Knocked Down). My brother-in-law, the former jazz musician, has “Sing Sing Sing.” I tried to find the sisters song from the movie White Christmas for my sister, but haven’t yet. In the meantime, I assigned her a tune called “The Sister Song”. My mom’s calls are announced by a robotic voice that says, “Your mother is attempting to reach you on your cellular device” over and over again. Mom doesn’t call my cell phone very often.

My college roomie has the TCU fight song as her ringtone. I found the Pink Panther theme, but I can’t figure out who should get that one. I’d give it to myself, but I assigned myself the loudest ringtone I could because the only time I call my phone is when I can’t find it.
Does anyone else play with ringtones? What are some of the ones you’ve used?

#1 Is for the hubby ~ Tim McGraw’s Real Good Man.
#2 ~ Is for my youngest daughter Ashley Green Day’s Basketcase. It’s her favorite song by the group.
#3 ~ Is for everyone else who calls it’s George Straight’s The Cowboy Rides Away. Nothing beats King George in the state of Texas!
My hubby has Alan Jackson’s Country Boy.
And I have no clue what my daughter has because she is always changing hers. LOL
Have a great weekend everyone.
Do I lose my Texas citizenship if I admit that I don’t like Country Western music? I like your “Real Good Man” for your hubby.
We’ll forgive you. LOL
Hi Heather! I have different ring tones for quiet a few people.
1. Hubby- Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean
2. Brother Mario- Dangerous by Roxette, long funny story behind that one.
3. Sister Lissette- My Sister by Reba McEntire
4. Sister Maylen- Wild One by Faith Hill
5. Sister Carmen- Is This Love- Bob Marley
6. My Mom- Guantanamera by Celia Cruz
7. My SIL Cyndi- Summertime by Rascal Flatts
8. My main one when anyone else calls is Secrets by One Republic
I have more but I can’t think of them right now.
Have a great day!
Great names in your family, Alina! Those are some good ones. I’ll check out the Reba song.
Over Christmas, I changed all the ringtones to Christmas music and I keep hearing ones I forgot.
The spam filter caught my reply to your post! Does it think I’m spamming myself?!?
I only have one ringtone–London Calling by The Clash, although no one from London, or anyplace else, ever calls me. I mostly use my cell phone as an alarm clock.
Ha! How do you know no one ever calls you if you don’t turn on your phone?? I just listened to London Calling over on YouTube. I liked it!
Hi Heather,
I’m one of those rare birds that rarely uses her cell, only has a Tracfone! The phone comes in handy when I am traveling or just away from home but nearby. Since it is prepaid I do use it for any long distance calls. There are so many people that can’t seem to function away from technology & I am an old fashion woman that thinks they are missing out on a lot of “real life”. I also have a Facebook page but rarely go there! My grandkids mostly talked me into joining.
They call it the “Holiday Rush” because most people are trying to rush around doing to much for the holidays! Sadly that includes waiting in line! Personally I love doing what I can online before I get dressed. It is too easy & fun!!
Did you shop on Cyber Monday?? I understand about not liking all the technology. We were just telling my mother-in-law that even if she didn’t like using a cell phone, there weren’t that many payphones available anymore. My son dragged me onto Facebook, but I like seeing what the family is up to.
Hi Heather! I love assigning ring tones! There used to be a TV show where the main character’s assistant assigned ringtones to everyone in his directory according to her opinion of them which was hilarious, if embarrassing to him. Inspired, I created some for my family and friends.
For the new year I changed my husband from NEED YOU NOW to Sonny & Cher’s I GOT YOU, BABE (his gets changed a lot)
Others are:
The GOOD, BAD & THE UGLY theme – parents
A barked WILLIAM TELL’S OVERTURE – friend with 7 dogs
Amy Winehouse’s REHAB – crazy sister
Disney’s Snow White’s theme – sweet sister
Lady Gaga’s BAD ROMANCE – critique partner which is a total joke because she’s a wonderful writer
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD – best friend
A bagpipe fan friend has Amazing Grace played by bagpipes
SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL–I’m taking the 5th on that one.
Happy New Year!

I forgot that I have SCOTLAND THE BRAVE on bagpipes for my daughter-in-law. She and my son recessed to it at their wedding.
