Well, mark this day down. I've finally decided to join the electronic phone age and I ordered a smart phone from Great Call. It will be delivered today. It really bugs me to pay a monthly service fee for something I don't use - for the convenience of having a cell phone. 99% of the time it sits in my purse with a dead battery, so after a couple months of paying the monthly fee I cancel the account. With this service I will have text, and don't have to pay extra when I use the phone. I'll have 100 minutes - and since I don't use it, 100 minutes is a lot. And what I don't use is carried over to the next month. We'll see how long it lasts before I come to the realization I'm spending $$ just for the sake of being able to say, "I have a cell phone."
Welcome to the smart cell phone world.

I bet AT&T operators are happy about rule #1. At the beginning of my 30 year career with Ma Bell I was an operator. Answering the coin lights on the board was the least favorite. I used to hate collecting the $$ for the calls. Then the notification when three minutes was up.
We're definitely NOT in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Good morning all !!! Sure do love yall and how you have a happy Tuesday:)
Same to you Heather and to you all!
It's such a wet and wndy, miserable day here - we have Storm Christoph (Not Kristoff) with us today but I think other parts of the UK are getting the worst of it. Even though the wind is howling down the chimney it's not too bad - yet!!!

I hope you all have a good and drier Tuesday!!

Hey Lyn! I hope the wind doesn’t get to rough. That’s the worst part of storm for me.. unfortunately, it’s a very wet day here too.. the weather predictor calls for it all week long :-( ... I have a long overdue appointment to get my hair done today so I was pretty excited.. then I got Jayden up to get him ready for school and he seems a little sickly.. I’m going to keep him home and make a dr appointment for a check up.. I’m sure it’s nothing more than the winter time sinusy crap but with my luck lately, I can’t be too careful..

Looking pretty nice there in Texas!
The calm before the storm:) makes for crappy driving weather and I’ve got places to be all week long.. Jess has a follow up with her surgeon in Houston tomorrow and I think they are truly going to be shocked at all the progress she has made. Yesterday at therapy, she was able to bend her forearm up, flip her hand from palm to back and flex her fingers.. All these things come so easy to us but for her, it’s an Olympic marathon.. we are so pleased though. It’s a hell of a long way from the original forecast !!!

Sorry your little man is poorly, I hope he's feeling better soon. You're right to get him checked.
Our rain is in until Thursday.
Hope you are able to get to your hair appointent. I haven't had mine cut for almost a year because of lockdown shutting down all the salons. It will be Spring I think before I can get my hair cut!

What a great girl - her determination is obviously paying off.
Have a safe journey to Houston.
