I make a point to buy my kid a cheaper version of iPhone. If she wants better, she has to get a job.
It's crazy how much everything is. For about a year I was thinking I was doing something wrong. But it's not me. I make what I always made.  All the sudden it's not enough...all the sudden...and not nearly enough.

That was my doing too. I don't know what it is...14?  I have the poor-man's iphone "se" or whatever it is. I don't know the difference. I can't see any of them anyhow.

I like the ipad because it's bigger. I use that in the car to tell me where to turn and also to get online at work.

Thanks Joe Biden.

I resent the demands placed on you when you have a phone. It's a yoke, a burden, a mantle of responsibility because everyone knows you know they're calling and if you don't talk to them, they know you are deliberately avoiding them and the privilege of plausible deniability is removed from the social equation...to the detriment of our species.

I loathe Verizon. They make it so it's like 100 bucks a month more expensive unless you have "auto-pay" which is when they can just take it out of you checking account like the crash-and-grab thieves they are. I hope there is a nuclear war just to screw them.
My phone service including the new phone is 21 bucks a month.

I keep my notifications turned off on the phone. Even the ringer. Much better that way.

Texting is the perfect form of interpersonal communication for two people that are not in the same location. It eliminates a lot of social awkwardness and it has a built-in grace period so you don't have to respond right away if you are in the middle of something without appearing impolite.

I keep the ringer off or real low. If I'm at home, the phone is usually in my desk drawer.

Ours is crazy...$200. That's for 3 phones, ipad plus the payments for the devices. Cable's the same. Total bullshit.

I hate tablets because they are harder to grip. I drop things a lot.

Ali Qadhi, the Hamas commando leader who planned the Hamas attack, is apparently dead. Victim of a drone attack.

It's imperative that I win the powerball.  I pledge to get the Turkmobile fixed and to travel the countryside doing good works...maybe go to Mickey Shorr and get a stereo installed in my dashboard.
