AT&T family minutes!

You are correct, sir! The ad agency obviously wanted someone who could express a lot with just a facial expression. This woman does a great job; however, with anything that's successful in advertising, they tend to push it as far as they can; almost to the point of being annoying, before they wise up and back off and go in a new direction.

I do like the little ticking minute things.
They're so cute.

Hey you're only 10 yrs older than me Thor. And I'll hit 53 in a matter of weeks the way life seems to be speeding by.

I was the last one I knew to get a cell phone. Once I did I knew the era of 24/7 availability had begun. But now I've adjusted completely, we no longer have a land line, and I can reach my teenager anywhere he goes because he has a cell phone. It even has GPS built-in should anything unforeseen or God forbid unfortunate happen to him.

The Information Age is here, and it's growing exponentially. You're right, in a few short years text messaging will become as passe as faxing does now.

Well, I'm older than Thor and I text all the time to my wife and kids.

I don't even turn my cell phone on unless it's an emergency. I sit at a desk with a phone inches from my hand, and I go home with the phone sitting on the desk. When I'm in my car, don't even THINK of talking to me. I'm too busy singing along to the radio.

Agreed.

Isn't that called polite conversation?

He will fix it (I DIRECTLY worked with him on the original AT&T garbage, in NY)

Originally posted by Moochamoocha 2. About the whole cell phone debate - I have a cell phone (AT&T no less!) but I very rarely use it. It's almost always off but I check it once a day. Because I hardly ever use it, my rollover minutes have accumulated so much that virtually any phone call I make costs nothing! I can call people every day from now until Christmas and I will STILL have plenty of minutes left. Bwa ha ha ha!

Well, OF COURSE I'm paying for the phone service. What did you think, it was free?

As for Eliot 'I Keep My Socks On When I Screw Whores' Spitzer, I read in today's paper that he's denying all the talk about running for office again.

I've had a phone since I was fourteen (three years ago this Christmas). It's pretty handy. In the preceeding years, my sister and I would have to stay after school for an hour or so and my mother couldn't always get away from work to sit in the parking lot of our school and wait and hope we got out at the right time and everyone would always get frustrated because we'd have to go around asking for cell phones to call, and tell her that we were ready whenever she could get away.

My son can have a cell phone when he can buy it himself. That being said, I agree that this kid is purposely trying to send his mother into a fit of rage. If I were the husband, I would have stopped the mini van and kicked him out the door.
