stupidity
people are stupid. even people who can afford to fly. while travelling last week i eavesdropped on some conversations. well, eavesdropped in the sense that i couldn't find a seat far enough away from someone talking too loud. so instead of reading my book, i eavesdropped. anywho. one lady was ranting about how her 13 yo daughter wanted a cell phone. and she couldn't have it. she'd have to use payphones instead. or pay for it herself. grandma was paying $170/mo for her cell phone. now, maybe i'm out of touch here. but that sounds kinda like a lot. we pay less than half of that for two cells phones and a land line. sheehs. b started high school yesterday. (ack!) he can have a cell phone whenever he wants one. apparently, he doesn't feel the need for one yet. we'll probably get smarter phones when he does. so our bill will probably go up. as will our utility. would like to keep it below $100/mo for three phones and a land line.
