[Paxton007]

"It came in a box that cost $27.55 to send to me,"

Can you imagine THAT kind of cell phone bill?

I don't have a cell phone. I don't like the things that come along with them. When I am away from a phone, I don't want to be bothered, you know? I'm pretty far away from Lancaster, isn't that in your general area? I live in Jefferson County.

At least T-Mobile realized the mistake. Seems lots of companies wouldn't be so willing to just let it go like that. *cough* Verizon *cough*

Nah...I have a bro in law in Lancaster, but I'm a Philly girl.

No cell phone???

Don't know what I'd do without mine! To make it worse I just got a blackberry. Can't imagine bothering sending that many texts, though. I can think of many better things to do with my time.

Philadelphia? I guess Lancaster is a bit off for you too. The only part of Philly I was ever in, looked like this.



I've had cell phone's before, but I just don't really like them. When the company wants to get me one, I'm all for it, but I'd rather not be bothered on my own time.. Oh well.

[LauraR]

Yeah, it pretty much all looks like that.

I'm about 25-30 miles southwest of philly.


What if your wife needs to get a hold of you, btw?

She doesn't.

She carries a cell phone, but it's a prepaid thing, and it works for us. I don't want to have a cell phone, but don't completely object to them or anything. We have a few here at the office that lay around in case we have to run a delivery or something, and I've used one of those overnight a few times. I just don't see the real need.

My office has a toll free number, so I can call back here free from anywhere, I don't know.. I just don't ever think about them. ..

I can usually wait to talk to my wife, or anyone else until I am around a regular phone.

Man i wish i could go without a cell phone. That would be so awesome. Save me $120 a month iphone bill too, but i tell ya, id be completely lost without it.

Are you familiar with 6th and Dauphin area ?

[LauraR]

Is that in N. Philly?

I generally go in to center city to go out to eat and stuff.... south of Vine usually.

[bigtrucks]

Yes. Just North of I-676 and West of I-95.I lived there from birth until my late brother(23rd Precinct) convince our dad to move out because of the violence out of control.(which is nothing compared to what is now)(only here say)
Still have family on Thompson st though(brothers children/widow). Can't say that I miss it though.

The largest one I've ever had knowledge of was one my son ran up (on his dime - he was an adult at the time) was almost $700.00 by talking to his then girlfriend. She is now his wife, so I guess it was money well spent.

What floored me was they both had computers and access to the internet . . . (he still lived with me, and I've had DSL for years). I kept telling him "save your cash and get online and talk to her!"

Yeah:

Like walking in the rain......

and snow....

When there’s nowhere to go....

And you’re feeling like a part of you is dying....

And you’re looking for the answer

in her eyes....

You think you’re gonna break up....

Then she says she wants to make up....

You're right... the things we do...

[LauraR]

Who knew! There's a softer side of Paxton!
