It's $35/month, and you can surf, Facebook, and play Words with Friends until the cows come home.<br /><br />I'm in the market for a newer phone (maybe Santa will bring it). I'm still researching the different models. Scott, what kind did you get? Inquiring minds need to know... :-p<br /><br />Never mind...I just noticed the labels on this post. One of them is iPhone5S.

I've been wary of getting a fun new phone for myself because I know I'd just play endless games of Words with Friends on it - and since my current bill is around $30 per month it wouldn't be a smart fiscal move. But this weekend some friends were using the stopwatch feature on their phones & I was green with envy. Sure my little flip phone will act like a stopwatch, but it turns off when you close the phone. Not exactly useful for carrying around. [Note: I don't even NEED a stopwatch!]<br /><br />Hope you enjoy your new phone!The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-23011815943831769672013-11-04T17:01:56.683-06:002013-11-04T17:01:56.683-06:00Exactly right, plus the Obama administration is th...Exactly right, plus the Obama administration is the first after years and years to actually try to fix health care.

The law was passed years ago. All attempts to overturn it in Congress and in the Supreme Court failed. But since the TP couldn't get their way through the democratic system they decided to try to go around it and hold the whole country hostage. And you think we should negotiate with people like that?PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-50161830219403089982013-11-04T12:38:57.282-06:002013-11-04T12:38:57.282-06:00Not a Tea Party fan (well maybe their principles, ...Not a Tea Party fan (well maybe their principles, not their methods) but the administration must take some "credit" for failing to negotiate and failing to lead. A true leader could have swayed congress and public opinion to thwart the TP. The President may have succeeded in defeating the TP, his political agenda, but his failure to lead failed the country.

That's what's tripped up other candidates like Romney and McCain. You have to court the extremists in your party early on and then make the turn back to the center once you've locked down the nomination.<br /><br />As much as I want to hope the Tea Party is done for, I doubt it. Most of these jokers are still going to be around at least through 2014 and Americans have short memories. That is if they don't shoot themselves in the foot with another shutdown as seems very possible considering they don't seem to have learned anything from their recent failure.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-62114582731470988492013-11-04T10:49:17.838-06:002013-11-04T10:49:17.838-06:00I'll be watching tomorrow's election retur...I'll be watching tomorrow's election returns with interest.
