Trac Phone
I have a trac phone and get aritime cards every three months. I can get 120 minutes for I believe $29.99 and it's worked out very well for me.
I have the cheapest kids in the world
For some reason, my kids are not into the fancy designer, latest trends. My DD only shops at thrift stores for clothes, except underwear. My DS loves to read and buys his books at the secondhand book store or online at half.com. They both refuse to pay full price for anything and will wait for it to go on sale or buy it used somewhere.
In fact, I bought all my daughters clothes this xmas at the Goodwill because SHE loves it there. This included a Liz Claiborne dress, a hand-knit sweater from the Limited, a brand new silk dress with tags still on it, a brand new sweater from Talbots. Each item only cost $4.99!
We live in a town that has the full spectrum from multimillionaires to struggling immigrants so they see it all. They are almost 18 and 15 but have been this way for as long as I can remember. DH and I are both rather frugal, but these kids are cheaper than both of us.
$4.75 a gallon of milk at Costco here, cheapest place around nm

I would take his phone away or make him pay the bills for the phone
He can use the postal service to write her letters if he wants but there is no excuse. College is not highschool and if he's gonna make a go of it...be the parent and discipline....my opinion but take the phone away.
On 60 minutes I think it was
they did a story on diamonds once and had some identifying mark or word etched on a diamond they were using. You could only see it with a microscope I think, or maybe a jeweler's loop, but interestingly the jewelers who were switching the diamonds out were not aware of the mark until it was shown to them.
3 minutes? LOL!! (nm)

I saw that a few minutes ago...
isn't that just awful.
80 minutes
With medical transcription, I have found that 1 minute is approximately 10-12 lines on a 65 cpl basis.
Just typed this a few minutes ago...
She has not ever committed suicide, but it is on her mind.
Good grief!
On Fox news just a few minutes ago sm
Man upset with his supervisor and shooted him. LOL--poor grammer for the whole world to see right on national TV. What is this world coming to? 
I use the treadmill 45 minutes a day
plus snow ski when the weather permits.... susan
Did you watch 60 minutes
What about the man with his theory of cancer? I think it's worth a try.
I use a TracFone. I pay only for the minutes I use. sm
I have a landline and DSL that costs me $70 a month. I need the landline for my computer. I am not too trusting of the Skype, Vonage, etc. You lose your power, you lose your phone.
That said, I use TracFone. It is probably one of the first ones made as I can't take pics, or 2-way, or do any of the fancy stuff. However, I have never had it let me down by not having any coverage and the calls are always clear as a bell. I would get another cell plan with more bells and whistles, but I just can't see being tied to a 2 year contract with hefty penalties for early termination.
TracFone also has some awesome deals on minutes, phones with lots of features, etc. The nice thing about a TracFone is that if you run out of minutes, you don't lose your phone number. And they also have coupon codes you can use to get extra minutes, or an extra phone, etc.

I caught about the last 15 or 20 minutes. Can't hardly
wait until next week. Maybe House and Cuddy will finally get together.
I have an elliptical machine, 30+ minutes a day...
on that and I have a Pilates machine, try at least 3 times a week on that for 45 minutes.
The last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy??
I missed the last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy last night and thought they would rerun it tonight like they usually do, but it wasn't on. So, will someone please let me know what happened? I turned to it to see Christina freaking out and Meredith cutting her wedding dress off of her, but I have no idea why this was happening! What happened to the wedding?? Thanks in advance!
Lysine--works within minutes (nm)
I just saw a few minutes of her. It was such a struggle just to talk.

I live 45 minutes from Pittsburgh!
too bad we were not closer for a bike ride! I was just thinking I need to get acquainted with people that love biking and would love to stop for lunch and a cappuccino at a coffee shop on a chilly day! I live across from a great bike trail at a metropark and rode today for 1 hour. I plan on longer rides this weekend. it sure does beat sitting at a computer all day.
350 degrees - 25 minutes per pound SM
Put a rack in the bottom of the pan so the meat is not touching the liquid. Put about a cup or so of water in the bottom of the pain with some cut up onions and a little salt and pepper. Place the roast on the rack, fat side up. No need to cover the roast if you want a good crusty layer of fat on the meat. This also keeps the meat moist. 
That is so sad...it actually happened about 15 minutes from my house...
so sad....
Literally within 5 minutes of my post
the vet called. He knows this dog very very well. He feels that she is truely missing her mom and said that since she won't eat dog food and I am just going to have to give her people food. He said basically just set another place at the table. He gave me some suggestions on what to feed her and didn't want her just trying to exist on "snacks". We talked at lenght about her blood sugar and gave me his home number. He really is a wonderful vet, we take our animals to him so he is very familar with our family. I feel better now that I have talked to him. Thanks for the replies.
About 10 minutes away for me....I was a block away last night.

Greta is covering it on fox in 8 minutes

running out of minutes with a week to go sm
in your monthly plan. I have 1,000 minutes for $55, just got rid of land line 2 months ago and am very close to going over at a charge of 40 cents a minute. Geez. Guess I need to upgrade my plan.
I watched the last 15 minutes last night, s/m
I was completely disguisted by this. At the end, they show that the 2nd wife leaves him and then the 1st wife divorces him and is now remarried. Just from what I saw, I would have cringed watching the first 45 minutes of the show.
I have a Tracfone and don't like wasting my minutes....
I have one of the original TracFones and my fingers are too fat to text. The keys are too close together, so I don't bother with texting. LOL.
That would be why I would need a full keyboard if I were to ever get a lap top. LOL.
Dark Knight. First 90 minutes okay, but after

I would like to have a cell that carries the minutes over because I wont be using it much but
I dont believe Verizon carries their over. I do want a company with good sound and no dropped calls.
I live 20 minutes from VA Tech. This is so tragic. My son is a ......sm
junior but he goes to Roanoke College and still lives at home. I called him because I wonder if some classmates he graduated with were involved in today's tragedy. I feel sick inside. We take way too much for granted.
Get up frequently. Lay down on your bed for 15 minutes works wonders sm
and drink plenty of water. I'm very healthy, too, but found my ankles and fingers getting swollen from typing/sitting all day. I even tried Diurex over the counter which is loaded with caffeine. I figure I would ger my caffeine from my iced tea or diet Coke before I take that.
I am in Huntington WV, about 45 minutes or so from Pt. Pleasant. Some of the movie was

She'll be the typical 15 minutes of fame...
person. Jessical Hahn, Amy Fisher, etc., known forever for their sexploitation and scandal. They all play the poor victim, troubled home life, drug abuse, no one loves me - wah wah, poor babies- but sure are smart enough to make a buck selling their stories, taking off their clothes for magazines and then pleading to be "left alone" and then want to be taken seriously. Prostitute, high class call girl, escort, whatever, you can dress the pig up, but it's still a pig!

Ed Bradley from 60 minutes died of leukemia earlier. Sad. nm

And this is also possible - even just 15 minutes of focused time playing a game when he first gets u
anything like that. I really believe he is either sick or he just wants a little one-on-one time with you.
GO GIANTS. Loyal fan. Live about 45 minutes from stadium.
What is going on with all the chili. That must be a Superbowl staple. We are having it too, Steak Chili, wings and salad. Some beer too. But before the BIG GAME, we are in the process of gutting our den. Wish I had the BIG SCREEN TV for tomorrow. GO BIG BLUE.
I'm 5 minutes from Ft. Benning. They graduate on Friday. It will be cold rain here sm
I, myself, and VERY disappointed that it did not snow. I've been here 10 years and have been praying for snow!!! It's only 38 now and won't get much colder than this all week - high in the mid 40s or so. Congrats to your nephew!
I agree. One I LOVE is that milky minutes, lactose intolerant one. sm
I snicker every time. If you haven't caught it...
Family around the kitchen table. Mom finds poker chips that are UNUSED CELLPHONE MINUTES in the garbage with milk on them.
WHAT are THESE?
Umm leftover minutes from last month.
These are still good! You know what happens to my sister's unused minutes?
She loses them
That is right, she loses them. My sister would love to have these milky minutes.
Hubbie: Isn't your sister lactose intolerant?
I love word games and double entendre, and creative use of the language, oddly drawn verbal conclusions and other oddities (hazard of my work?) so this one gets me smiling.
the length is about 80 minutes long, per the client, no special format.

ear phone help . . .
Any suggestions on what is the best? I am struggling, have gone through a couple of cheapier sets, would like to know what you guys think is best. TIA.
Phone call of the day ....sm
ME: Hello?
CALLER: Hello, does anyone at your home speak English?
ME: What? Of course I speak English. I was born and raised in the US and speak no other language. Why do you ask?
CALLER: I'm so sorry ma'am. This is Jody with the Police Benevelance fund and we'd like to ask for a contribution for.....
ME (immediately cutting her off): Ma'am, how dare you have the audacity to call my home, ask me if I speak English and then want to ask me for a donation? Donkeys would fly before I'd give your organization a penny as you have now totally insulted me, a bona-fide English speaking American Citizen - one without an accent other than being Southern.
Can you believe it? My husband stood there shaking his head as I let into this lady. It's bad enough to call somewhere and hear "press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish...." but to have someone call you and ask if you speak English is absurd.
call your phone co and ask if they have....
I have privacy director from bellsouth and also am on the donotcall.gov list and phone#. However, I continually get a call with no one speaking from a SEBELL - I looked up SEBELL and it's a telecommunications company that once got into big trouble - with telemarketing - and now it *looks* as though they are back. The only thing I could do with that number was STAR (*) 60 which blocks only 6 telephone numbers via bellsouth.
Would it be possible to ask the phone company--sm
to come out and inspect your line? I don't see where a lawyer would be any good at this point, until something is either proven or disproven. Good luck.
I had it on my cell phone too! lol

Depends on what phone you have but sometime
you can see where it send return message highlight that and hit okay type your message and it should say send somewhere on the screen and make sure to hit the quick key button for that.
How many of you use only a cell phone? sm
We're going totally wireless in our house next week after our alarm company converts our system to a radio one. The cell companies in our area have finally gotten the offers down to where it's cheaper to go cellular exclusively than pay a cell and regular phone bill. What about you?
cell phone
My family and I (husband and two teenagers) all have our own cell phones. In a dire emergency of no power, our car will accommodate an attachable adaptor for the cell phones to recharge. It made things simpler, and no extra added bill from a phone company. It has been this way for over three years now.
Fitst of all, cut out that phone
you are paying for. You should have already taken that away. He is misusing and you are paying. Nip that in the bud. You need to put a halt to any and all financial deals except the very ones that keep him in school. I think you are making trying to handle with kid gloves and he seems to be taking advantage of a good thing.
