Data plans are very expensive there so you can't get an unlimited plan there. I got a 100 megs for the time I was there and I ran out within a week and a half. And that was after arduously trying to use wireless where I can. I think it's bogus what these sales guys tell say when they say you don't use that much data.<br /><br />My plan with ATT doesn't expire until June. I'll keep my head up on what Verizon does in the future.CRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912897040503058967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-13124996007509115982011-01-29T14:53:38.962-06:002011-01-29T14:53:38.962-06:00Re: Target Acquired, We've Got the Bulb

It's the logical evolution because people are using less and less phone minutes and more data & text. For now, however, most people would save money with AT&T's new plan because most people aren't using enough data to justify the unlimited plan. The rest of us on AT&T already are grandfathered in.<br /><br />The only good reason to move to Verizon, IMHO, is for their network coverage. I do appreciate the increased competition, however.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285043747501470199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-58312019622426524142011-01-28T21:41:51.997-06:002011-01-28T21:41:51.997-06:001.

McCain, "the straight-talking, forward-thinking daughter of the 2008 Republican presidential candidate" laments "how far the Republican Party has veered from its core values of freedom, honesty, and individuality."

It includes grass-fed beef, home-raised vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, and red wine to gladden the heart of man.<br /><br />It would probably preclude the heart-stopping "pizza" you have at Thanksgiving (Christmas?). I pray for your soul and arteries each time I see a picture of it. :)<br /><br />When I'm done, I plan on writing a book, going on the Reformed speaking circuit, and making myself richer and more famous than Rick Warren and Beth Moore combined. <br /><br />Okay, that last part's a joke. <br /><br />In all seriousness, Barbara, I've been doing some study for some time on what food is "for" in the Bible, from creation to redemption. We misuse food like we misuse Scripture. Understanding what Scripture is for (partly because of studying how God uses food to illlustrate this), will transform the way we view Scripture, and may also make us change our eating habits. And for the record, I know some women who need to be freed from their organic idols and learn to embrace their freedom to eat a Twinkie now and then.Rachael Starkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781158372237369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-72555988510674965812011-01-28T13:48:39.833-06:002011-01-28T13:48:39.833-06:00Just don't ask how they bake it.
