Don't know about AT&T, but it sort of blows my mind that people act like children are spoiled for having phones. Now that there are unlimited calling and texting plans, it doesn't cost much more to add a phone to the plan. I believe ours costs $9.99 for an additional phone and then an additional $5 for unlimited texting. But we added the $15 unlimited texting plan for the entire group so it's really less than $5 per person. Those taxes and surcharges add up though. If I take my entire cell phone bill and divide it by the number of phones, it comes to $25-$30 per phone.

That, and they usually have "not a member" as their status.

Although, in NoExcuses' case, they didn't do that.

Oh, and then they turn up under a different name, still spouting the same stuff that got them banned in the first place.

Allegedly.

I had a great breakfast with my friend! In short bit, I'll be leaving to take my son to the dentist. (He hates dentists!) The good and the bad all in one day. At least there's balance.

I just had a geyser in the front yard. One of the drip system "heads" (or whatever they're called) blew. Thankfully, I happened to look up and see it. Meanwhile the guy across the street (who is a little strange) and the two guys painting are standing there watching it. Water is hitting their trucks! Do they come and tell me? Nooooo. And they know I'm home I gave them a wave when I turned it on an hour ago.

This same neighbor had a water main break under his house when he was gone and I called the water department for him to come turn it off. Otherwise water would have flowed down the street for three days.

I'm making Royal Wedding/NFL Draft/Space Shuttle Launch decorated cookies. All I can say is No Cookies For Them!!

I can't believe my kids only have 4 weeks left of school. This year has flown by.



j/k - I can't believe you are enabling your son by looking for a better plan for him!

mm - no doubt.

Aaargh. So the verizon man finally comes over to fix my internet, which has been out for a few days now, and lo and behold! it works while he's here.

So there's nothing been done about it. So what will happen is I'll post a brilliant and well thought out response to a post and it will go out again just as I hit the submit button. Or something like that.

Aaargh, and again, aaargh.

Har, har! Yes, we're horrible parents, I know! Screwing him up for life.

Funny you should mention the school year ending - DS and I were sitting out in the back yard while he was home for lunch and I was just thinking that it feels like the year should be over with by now! Weather is so nice today - I know he didn't feel like going back to school for the last class.

Each year seems to fly by faster the older they get
