What's your cell phone plan?
by JH inhow much do you pay a month for your cell phone service and how long can you talk?.
i have a motorola 120c model phone, and with bell mobility, i pay 25$ canadian for a card that lasts up to 2 months or 30 cents per local call a minute or something like 70 cents a long distance call per minute.
so, if the card is good for 25$, and i make only local phone calls, i can use it 83 minutesand for long distance phone calls, at 70 cents a minute, i can talk only 35 minutes.. it's only for emergencies...

I had a cell phone for a while, but had to drop it, as there aren't that many towers up here, so there's very unreliable signal.
My boo has one, which he uses for work. He pays nothing, as the company he works for gave it to him.

My mom used to make New England boiled dinner when she could afford it. She'd get a big hunk of ham and simmer it on the stove all damn day. At some point, she'd add turnips, potatoes, carrots, and onions, all in big chunks. The ham was so tender, and all the veggies had the good hammy flavor. Lordy.
My grandmother used to make me a pitcher of half lemonade, half iced tea, all syrupy sweet, when I'd stay with her. Maybe it's not terribly unique, but it still reminds me of her and the good times we had at her house.

How long is too long?
by Insomniac injust a question, for those who might know.
how long should you hang onto a relationship, when it's becoming undeniably clear that it's going nowhere?.
i'm so in love, with the most wonderful person i've ever known.

Mercurious, dayum! I've gone out of my way to do none of that stuff! In fact, my guy has told me that I'm about the most easygoing woman he's ever met. When he and guys from his office go to a strip club (not often, but occasionally) I'm the one who reminds him to bring plenty of singles for the ladies, to have fun, and call me if he needs a ride home. I encourage him to spend quality time with his friends- in fact, he's in his home state right now for his high school reunion, because I told him he should go. Trust me, I don't stifle this guy. And no, I don't try to manipulate him through lack of sex, either.
I keep thinking, if only I'd met him 25 years ago, when he was still an innocent romantic who'd never had his heart broken, had never gone through divorce. Of course, I would have been 11 years old at the time, so that's no good. Too bad we don't have time machines, it would have been nice.
I do know that I don't want to be with anyone else. There are moments when I'm in his arms that I feel as though my heart will burst from happiness. He's my best friend; I'm the person he called first when he got promoted, and the person who held him when his beloved aunt died. The two of us separately are fractious, unpleasant, anti-social cusses; together we're fun, happy people who get along well and spend most of our time together laughing our asses off. I know how rare this sort of relationship is, and how lucky we both are to have found each other. I love him so much that I want to marry him- is that so wrong? I don't want a big wedding- heck, I'd be happy with a five-minute ceremony by a justice of the peace, and I'd look ridiculous in a poufy wedding dress anyhow. I just want us to share our name and our home and our cat. I can't believe that this makes me selfish or unreasonable, not when nearly everybody I know gets to be married.

Fishy problem.
by mtbatoon inso ive had this fish tank set up for a year and a bit and the stock has slowly dwindled through one thing or another, the main being a bad water change when the ph dropped and some rather nasty silver tipped tetras who seem to have bullied themselves down to two in number.
current residences are a plecostomous, coolie loach and the two remaining tetras.
on saturday i bought five lady guppies and two flying foxes.

Sad Emo is right- put him in a baggy full of water, in the freezer. As fish are cold-blooded, he'll get very sluggish, then fall asleep, then his organs will shut down. Wait till he's good and frozen before you bury or flush him, to be sure he's gone. I'm sorry your tank is being so problematic- hope things improve for you soon.

Durn, I never thought to ask if I could keep my real nose after the surgery. That would have been sweet, to have that baby in a big old jug of formaldehyde on the kitchen counter.

Do you keep a diary?

My day planner doubles as my diary. Scribbled in margins, along with shopping lists and reminders to pick up flea medication, are notes written on the fly about life-changing events and my feelings about them. Very interesting stuff was written throughout the day of Sept. 11, 2001, as new information was broadcast periodically. There are some beautiful notations from my first date with my (now) partner, and later on, some pretty spicy stuff from subsequent dates. There is a large heart with my cat's name, from the day I had to put her to sleep. It's not a tidy, organized diary, but it's comforting to have a record of any sort.
A word to the wise: One day, we all will die, and our relatives will sort through our stuff. Do them a favor, and leave out things they won't want to read, ie details of your sex life. If you must keep track of such things, try using a symbol (such as a row of hearts to symbolize a really hot date,) instead of writing it out. Trust me on this one; your relatives truly don't want to read about your exploits.

Who is your hero and why?
by joelbear inmy hero is isaac asimov because he believed that mankind could eventually live in harmony with nature and itself through the exercise of logic and the action of not taking from the world more than was needed.

My partner. We're going through some stuff right now that I'm not sure how we'll resolve. But I respect and admire him so much. Every year he puts on a big fundraiser for the Make-a-Wish foundation, works his butt off for children he's never met. A more honest man I've never met- he always tells the truth, no matter what. He helped me clean my grandmother's house after her death (worse than you'd think- my grandparent's bodies went undiscovered for some time, and nobody else could handle being in there with me.) He's the only man I know who's tough enough to hold his own in a fight, but tender enough to hold my elderly cat like a piece of china. He fusses at me for not eating right, and he manages to convince me when no one else can, that I can be a better person.

By Jove!
by the_classicist inremember witnesses pointing out all that time that "by jove" meant "by jehovah.".
just to set the record straight: it's not "by jehovah" it's "by jupitor.
" you see in latin, jupitor is spelled thus: iuppitor.

Forgive me, all. I'm under a lot of stress at the moment, so I'm obssessing over this more than usual. All the feelings I'm having are certainly valid, and I stand by every statement I've made, but the truth is, I'm usually able to supress things better than this thread would make it appear. The thing I'm trying to remind myself of just now, is that there is no need for urgency; it's been simmering for 6 1/2 years, it'll keep a bit longer. Neither of us should make any rash decisions of whether to stay or go. But, it does help my decision-making process to verbalize my feelings, and to read other's opinions on the matter.OK, back to holding it in, for now.
