1st and 3rd and both still believe, and I hope they continue to do so for a few more years. It will get hard though when my older one stops and the other still believes. I'd bring this up to the school principal regarding the can of worms this lady opened, and possibly ruined some of the kids Christmas's to boot.

That stinks.
I'd be mad too. I know my friend's who text and those who don't. I also know some of my friends use their cell for everything and others only for emergency. I would call them according to their preference. If we were all in the same hotel, I wouldn't think of a cell phone but would think of the room phones and/or knocking on the door if you were in the same hallway.
Personally, I think its rude to be tied to a cell phone when you are with other people. Everyone knows that if I am busy (that means even just eating dinner at home with my family) I do not answer a cell phone. If its important they will leave a message or call back. If I get 2 calls back to back, I will answer. I think it's disrespectful. Unless of course you have kids but even so my kids would know not to call me to ask where the peanut butter is while I'm out with a friend or at work. It better be a real emergency.
With all that said, I think this is becoming a problem in society in general, not just your group of friends. I went to dinner with several friends recently and they all had their cell phones out. One was taking calls and/or calling those who were missing to see where they were. I was the only one who apparently turned their ringer completely off and left it in my pocket. When I excused myself to the bathroom I checked to see if I had any messages, otherwise things can certainly wait 30 minutes to an hour.
Well that stinks --- maybe ask where you - sm
bought your TV what they recommend. Do the regular antenna get the digital signal, or do you need something else now? We live in the boonies and could get our local channels on the antenna though not great, but have Directv now so get our locals that way. I hope you are able to get it fixed satisfactorily.
Gas surcharge, that stinks, here the drivers - sm
have to pay for their own gas, etc. So whatever tips they get helps pay for their gas, and doubt they make more than $6 an hour here but have to drive long distances (boonies). I don't know what their deliver area is but it is a minimum of 5 miles out from the store, and those short trips eat up the gas. They have about 5 people delivering on the weekends as they are kept busy (only delivery service in the area--Domino's)
That is what stinks about private schools - sm
my kids used to attend private school, one reason I pulled them out was this one girl who bullied everyone, she was allowed to hurt kids, over and over again because the school wanted the tuition money and the father donated thousands of dollars in money, time, and construction labor to the school, and they were constantly "giving" things just so their daughter would not get kicked out. After trying to stangle someone the parents were finally told they had to get the girl some help and now she is on medication, but it took 4 years before the school did anything. The girl is still there, friendless basically, all the kids in her class cannot stand her, and she is just a pain in general. It is very sad in a way, if the parents had gotten her help a lot sooner she probably would not have allienated all the kids in her class (20 or so).
I use finger nail polish remover. It stinks though.

we have direct, and we can look at the guide while watching tv; DISH STINKS
we started out with dish, had it for 9 years. They would give all kinds of equipment and deals to their new customers but not us - their loyal customers for 9 years. Our remote was being held together with tape for crying out loud and couldn't get the networks with our dish because it was so old, but did they care?? - no freaking way. They only started caring once we switched to direct. Then they repeatedly called our house, asking why we switched and offering us deals. It got real old fast repeating why we switched. So the last time they called i screamed my @$$ off that if they ever called again i was going to sue them for harassment.
It seems like they only care about people who aren't their customers. If you are their customer, they don't give a rat's @$$ about you.
Dish sucks BIG time. But I doubt direct is really that much better. Our equipment with them is just newer, that's all. I can't get cable. I wish there was an alternative.
