Got a new cell phone today. It's the same "brand" that I had before (Samsung) but with a qwerty keyboard. No internet (didn't want it). It's pretty and purple!

My hubby is like that. He refuses to use a cell phone and ad home he always uses the whole number instead of the phonebook, but then he refuses to use the computer also. He doesn't touch it at all !!

I like my phone, it is a Phone phone.......no internet, no pictures, no camera, no ring tones. All it can do is Phone people. Oh, Yea, and it can text. That is the down side.

OOOoooOOO Cilla...a purple phone. I still don't understand having the internet on a cell phone...but then again I don't hardly use my cell phone.
I tell you there is a generation growing up now, that when they are in their 50's and 60's they aren't going to be able to use their thumbs...their all going to have severe joint troubles in them, from all the texting they have been doing on their cell phones as kids and teens...!

I don't see the point of having internet on my phone until I'm stranded at the train station trying to figure out what's gone wrong this time and how can I get to my experiment (I have some work going on in another part of the country at the moment) and then I wish that I'd got a phone that does more than call and text. Most of the time though I'm not bothered about it though. My phone is usually only used to call Stu to say that I'm going to be late etc.

Rianne...Books are a great enjoyment now when your young and as you get older...it will also probably save the easy use of your thumbs, in your later years...to help turn the pages...

Our cell phone has been dropped so many time that the screen is broken and will not show any displays. We can only use the phone for call people. It will not even show the time.
What I can't understand is why people in the same room need to text each other. My niece will do that. Kibby wants a phone. I told her she can have one when SHE can pay for it.

Anneli...Oh I most heartily agree...they're like having a perpetual two year old, one that follows you everywhere, even to the bathroom, they go to bed with you and wake you up so you can get them their breakfast or dinner and any and all snacks that you care to give them.
They have their own toys, dishes, blankets, and some pet parents even buy their furry kids special clothes (those poor people have really gone round the bend)...We all worry and fuss over them when their sick...or we even think they are, refuse to leave them with anyone we don't trust completely...check out their doctors better than we do our own. All in all...YEP they are just like our kids...especially the older we get. Sandi...Good Luck with your Doctor appointment...hope all goes well with no new surprises. Yes I am afraid you will have to learn to put up with all the Doctors, their staff and all their endless poking and prodding...but it's really not that much to have to put up with considering what C O U L D have happened instead ! Maw...I agree again with Sandi...stick to your guns about the phone, I have two Grandaughters and what can go on with teenage girls is incredible, especially when it comes to their cell phones...UGG!!!

Someone my sister works with found a couple of kittens. One of them is missing a front paw. He could not keep it because he has a bunch of wild cats living close buy. So of course Tammy agreed to take them both. The kittens are very close and yells when ever they are apart. Not sure how the kitten lost its front paw. I don't think it was born that way. It has a wound that will open up. The guy we got them from said they will help with the vet bills, wich is good, we are taking the hurt one in on Monday.
Our barking cat(Ebony small dog who thinks she is a cat) spends the day staring at them and making sure no other cat goes near them and also making sure they are clean. When they start going out side she will go out with them and make sure they don't go too far and that every things stays away from them.

Ah yes. The End of The World is coming (again) on May 21. At least I get my birthday in. Also, employers will be happy to note that it is occuring on a weekend, so they won't lose any work days! Shame our Mike will miss out on his college graduation on the 22nd. And, here he is graduating Summa Cum Laude!

Will do, dearest H.S. That gorgeous portrait you did of he and Jenn hangs in their room. Soon his degree and honors award (framed) can hang next to it!
![]() I'm not sure who is saying the end is coming this time. Apparently there are even people getting rid of everything they have this week in preparation. Won't they just be surprised when they wake up on the 22nd, alive and poor! ![]() ![]()

Various groups have been proclaiming the end of the world since, to my own certain knowledge, 1969. So far they're 0 for - oh, several dozen at least.
It's a great way to keep people fearful. and how pointless! If the same dude - who died 30 years ago - had predicted that if you bought 2000 lottery tickets you'd win, would you put out £2000? The odds against are still roughly 14 million to one AGAINST. Anyone proclaiming the world is ending is likely trying to manipulate you/ the general populace, or trying to become famous. Ignore them.

Well all I can say to the DOOM sayers is... like with us, when the World's number is up...that'll be it, nothing anyone of the humans living on her at the time will be able to do about it...so it enjoy her while she last and treat her as good as you can while she's still around...that way she will be good to all of us in return.
Cilla...I'm so glad to hear that they are still enjoying their portrait...I'm sure his degree and honors awards will look great, prominently placed on their wall...he's earned it!!!
