When I made the pitch to Keiana's mom to let me bring Keiana to Colorado, one of the things I said I would provide is a phone for Keiana. This benefits her because she's home alone for an hour in the morning, and then about 45 minutes to hour after school until I'm home from work.

So when we got here, I bought a prepaid cell phone and a landline phone. During the summer I thought, this is stupid, I need to eliminate the two bills. So I added Keiana to my plan. In doing so, I was able to add Lydia as well.


Lydia received her cell phone on September 4th of this year.



HOLY FRICKING BALLS!


I thought, okay, that's for all three of us, but nope. I have 1,537, Keiana has 239 and Lydia has 4,009.

I mean, 1,500 is a helluva lot for 10 days, but I don't use my phone to text, I use the browser to text via my laptop. But, 4,000???

I hate texting. Granted there are a few times when it is better to text than to call but it should be the exception not the norm.

good thing you have unltd. =d> you are wise beyond your years.

I txt about 1000 times a month.

My sister in law and her daughters will sit and text each other while they are sitting next to each other in the car. I just want to grab their damn phones and throw them out the window. Makes me wonder if they know how to talk to each other.

I'm amazed. I've been without a cell phone for over three weeks now, and I rarely miss it.

When I first fried my Blackberry, I planned to go with the best available smartphone. But now I'm probably going to go "cheapo basic phone".

(And I only text maybe 10 times a month at most)

---

If I average 10 a month.. 15 would have been a busy month of texting. Honestly.

---

I don't have a cell phone anymore, and I am discovering that I love it. I love with two wimmin (three adults in a queen-size bed? Arghhhh!) Not having a mobile gives me much-needed time to myself.

---

She racked up another 340 ... lol... I'm thinking the kid needs an intervention.

---

Right now I am chuckling at the typo in my previous post.

Maybe I am old fashioned, Kevin, but if I had a kid who was texting a tenth that much, I would cut it off.

---

She's not really "my" kid, I've simply been the only father figure she's known the last 10+ years and now I'm 1,000 miles away. It's hard to enforce rules when the mother disagrees.

She's doing really good in school, and that's what matters to me the most right now. If grades start slipping, then I'll intervene.
