I had already locked myself out of my credit card by using my debit card pin instead. By that time I was telling my husband that traveling was so much easier when you only took a camera and travelers cheques.<br /> We also switched from AT & T last year and are loving our new carrier because they charge us exactly the same each month and reception is so much better. The truth is because of things that transpired when we ended things with AT&T I will never do any kind of business with them ever again unless I have no other choice .

On her cement driveway. Yes, it has a protective case. Did that help Oh, heck no. Face down, flat. I watched it bleed out. It bleeds purple, btw. And yep, Driver was in VA, while I was in FL. Hopped right in the car and even the Verizon store couldn't save it. But, they managed to save and transfer all the numbers to the new phone. Which only cost a paltry $600. Oh, but the panic that ensued....especially when the thought crossed my mind that I might get bitten by a snake (of the diamondback kind) on the way home and need to call for an ambulance! And now, we pay attention to the data usage, cuz only the first 25 GB are high-speed. After that, it's unlimited usage allowed, but they do throttle you so much that it is mighty frustrating. I have learned that the Google Maps app is a data hog! The hard way. Are you maybe going to Verizon? They've been pretty good to us since the late 80's, and that who carries our Internet, as well. We used FMCA to purchase the device for a penny, and got a 2 yr contract for $49/month. And, as mentioned, the first 25 GB are pretty high speed. We get 2GB high speed dedicated to our phones in addition, and we are month to month on them, cuz our phones are so old (2 and 3 years now). We haven't been much past Houston, TX, out west, but there hasn't been anywhere yet we have had limited or no coverage, even here in the Ocala National Forest.<br /><br /><br />I'm with Smitty on bananas over monkeys - especially since bananas are on my list of allowed foods (dental impplant/bone graft, did I mention I had a broken root?). Pretty sure monkey isn't a food I can readily mash with my tongue. But that red thread looks good with the prints. I always use up my variegated threads on QFK projects...seems like they work beautifully on those little quilts.<br /><br />Just (like, JUST NOW) got an estimated delivery date of first week of April for the new coach - call me a HAPPY CAMPER! How did you ever stand the wait??? A dishwasher, washer, dryer, AND normal (not booth) seating!! Plus, a dedicated space for the printer! kchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012014316959117841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-31570400636847462622019-01-10T06:19:06.103-08:002019-01-10T06:19:06.103-08:00But what if you're at the grocery store, can&#...But what if you're at the grocery store, can't find something, and you need to order it from Amazon?!?! We just upgraded our phones too. I'm amazed at how dependent I am on the dumb thing.

I only take my phone when going somewhere in the car for emergency. I'm not even a huge fan of the 'home' phone either especially with all the dang telemarket, politicians, robocalls, etc....

The dog broke my leg. After that I never went anywhere without my phone. So I still carry a phone every where but we no longer have a dog. My husband still misses having one but since I was the one having to take his dog out because he had not done it I am very firm about not having another dog. <br />I am also looking at changing providers from AT&T. The price is just getting outrageous. Do you have IOS or android? Will you have the same type of phone after the switch? What has held me back so far is laziness on doing the research to find a new plan.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779941292169327439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-54777668730454198452019-01-09T12:33:16.862-08:002019-01-09T12:33:16.862-08:00I also keep my grocery list on my phone.

I was braving the store one day when a couple old biddies {older than me, anyway ;-)} started loudly discussing "how sad it is that "people" can't even manage to go without texting at the grocery store. I was the only "people" present, so they meant me, LOL!
