if that was my daughter she'd never breathe near a cell phone again much less touch one to text her "BFF, Jill".

We have Cingular...sm
and have no problems at all. We do have a lot of extras though which does increase the cost, i.e. roadside assistance, internet, IM, insurance, etc. We have 1400 minutes to share and don't use them all because of Cingular to Cingular calling, almost everyone we know has Cingular too. Our contract is up soon and we plan to downsize our plan (losing lots of minutes tho'). Our bill runs $130 monthly with DH work discount. I'm sure you can get a lower cost plan. Our coverage is wonderful too.
I could be a real brat when I was little and
I had my tail swatted more than once. I deserved it too. No doubt about it.
I'm not beating on my kids but they have certainly had their tails warmed more than once too. They knew exactly why there were getting it.
My kids aren't out terrorizing their schools or neighbors. I think if more parents disciplined their children, we would have less child on child violence.
Teach them right from wrong.
Before anyone jumps in and say a swat is beating your kid. It is not! There is a HUGE difference between inflicting damaging blows and a disciplinary swat.
Love the cell phone commercials (cingular?) about dropped calls
They are so funny.
1 Sheltie, 1 golden, 1 Brat Cat
Presently:
Crissie, bi blue Sheltie.
Jamie, golden
Kazie, AKA Brat Cat.
Just in the past year I lost:
Starting in March, 06 my 21-year-old kitty Dinger, then in July 10-year-old Taz Duh Golden (not too bright), 15 days later, B.J.'s a cat who absolutely loved Taz and I know mourned himself to death!, then in Feb 07, 'Stash a 15-year-old kitty.
Happily, I've had many grace my heart before this and are now waiting for me at the Bridge. Three are my absolute heart dogs....Jennifer and Tyde were goldens and Casie was a Sheltie/Shepard mix. I miss these little critters so much!
Actually is a Dollar General brand Brat cause more light

My feathered BRAT -- might be kinda graphic but funny too
Sitting here trying to post and work all day, with Tooki (AKA as MS Paris Hilton BOID) -- routine is AHH mom is out of bed -- " I can SCREAM for attention" -- this is while "mom" is in the bathroom being female etc, getting water for coffee -- k -- coffee on, outside for first cig (for mom) of the day, boid on shoulder, LARGE POOP on pavement, table or tree (sorry) -- after that, its treats and cuddle on moms shoulder for about 30 minutes.
We then come back in the house and mom does her computer clean up which is daily -- getting coffee ready and at this point, Tooki is trying to climb on the bed, then up on the headboard, and last trick if the blinds aren't open, we try to climb up them and chew them up in the process.
Mommy and daddy bought me a swinging perch from Santa Bird, but I HATED it in my cage, so what daddy did, was take my perch and put it in the door and with the perch in the door chain, I will climb on the perch, then the door chain and the front door.
My favorite thing though is to be in the tree right outside my door, and I have a "wild bird bud -- I think he is a blue jay and my "mom" says he's NOT my type -- I'm a sun conure after all, but with the cold weather here in Florida, mommy tries to make sure all of my "buds" are taken care of.
I know one thing, -- IM ALL GOIL and spoiled rotten!!!!
Love Tooki
How many of you have disabled texting
on your kids' cell phones? Or is there anybody who wishes their kids did not have texting?
Just read the article about the dad who smashed his daughter's phone after he received a nearly $5000 bill when he thought he had disabled texting on his daughter's phone but had not. She had sent about 20,000 texts in one month.
My kids still ask me for texting but I will not budge on this. I see their friends texting and how it is nearly impossible to get their attention once they are sucked into their texting universe, and that is why I won't let my kids have it. It's hard enough to get their full attention as it is. I was just wondering if I'm the only mean mommy.
Kids and texting
My daughter does have texting, but she only has a trac phone. She's one of the teenagers who would wrack up hundreds in cell phone charges if she had a regular cell phone. She only has a certain number of minutes that have to last three months before she can buy more. She knows if she uses those minutes up she has to wait until the end of the three months to be able to use her phone again. It's her choice whether she wants to waste her time texting. The first three months she had her phone she used all her minutes up in a month in a half basically just texting. She actually just got her phone for Christmas so she was one of the last of her friends to even get one.
Ok, give me a quick course in texting
My daughter has gone to Mexico and I get a text message from her. Ok, i am 1 of these older people and have never sent a text message in my life, took a long time just finding out how to read hers. Now folks, tell me how to send her one back. She would be AMAZED as she knows I do not know how to do this. I could say ladadedada. thanks?
My tracfone does have texting capabilities
my daughter figured that one out all by herself. LOL. We've been thinking about getting her one for a long time, but our problem is she'll have the minutes gone within weeks and then she'll have no phone. I guess she'll have to learn the hard way if that happens.
Great idea! besides, texting
could conceivably save a life at some point...think of some of the situations you've seen on the news (kidnapped, locked in a car trunk, school shootings, dept store rampage...) personally, i'd go the route of the above poster and not disable it. A 3-month quota also would teach planning (ie, math:) for how many text msg can be sent in a month/week/day...teaches responsibility, etc. I also have an almost new tracfone to sell. but that is not why i posted my response.
I pay $189 a month for 5 phones w/unlm texting and 700 mim.
Even when we had internet it was still only a little over $200, that person needs a new plan!!!
I went with unlimited texting with my teenage kids...sm
because they can really burn up the kb! It has become useful if they need something and are in class. They make good grades in school and that helps with the deal. I bargain a lot with their grades. Certain things they do have to work for, I don't buy bells and whistles. I do like it because we can communicate. They did teach me how, which gave them laughs for hours!
yeah, tired. monthly plan HERE w/10 mo. extra for unltd texting. nm
