I run my business on the phone I had to act fast

 

That looks like almost the same one!  I have no idea why he has been putting this off so long.  He has been on speaker phone only (again) for 7 months on my mom's very old iphone.  Maybe it just took him a while to accept that he couldn't buy a fancy phone.

I lease my phones now...

[Ontarkie 14,291]

Well when it's a pay as you go leasing doesn't really work. 

[SAT 9,609]

Yeah. Why do you use that anyway. Is it cheaper?

[SAT 9,609]

And, is it reliable?

It's pretty reliable, I was even able to get calls in Canada with it. I can't call out in Canada but for some reason can receive them, and for us way cheaper. Plus the area I go to unless I stay in town they don't get good cell coverage so it wouldn't work anyways.

 

I usually only use wifi at home so I only need to buy a 20 card every 3 months. Now with the phone I just bout it comes with 1350 minutes/data/text for the year. I really only use data or text a couple times here and there. All minutes carry over too so I don't lose anything. So for the next year I don't need to buy any minutes. and the 20 cards that I do get I they will triple the minutes. 

I have the Paypal square too so I can make sales with it when ppl don't have cash. Works great at events.

Well well well.

 

I had heard of this but wasn't sure it was a real thing. Boy would this have come in handy when we were in Denmark.

I'm trying to do homework with the kid. The nanny makes more noise and racket trying to tell the baby not to make noise while her sister is doing her homework...

Well that's fairly revolting You don't want corpses decomposing about the place. Floaters are gross. Seriously.

NYC has reservoirs upstate that feeds the central park and prospect Park reservoirs, then the water is treated and sent into the central water system.

I was so hungry last night when we wrapped up the work at the property, we stopped at the local restaurant. I ordered everything under the sun.

Of course, my clumsy friend drops my shirt hanging on the quad into a mud puddle, so all I had was a Tshirt. It was 50 degrees. So I was freezing. I think that's why I was so hungry. 

Now I'm like over stuffed from last night. I had a piece of poached salmon for dinner...

I still haven't unpacked that chunk of ribeye for dry aging...

I better get on that too. 

Man I'm so lazy
