    No doubt. When I was getting my wife and daughter new phones for Christmas there were all kinds of deals if you were activating a new line. But if you were just some poor schlub who wanted to get a new phone for an existing line..no soup for you. I guess they figure if you`ve been writing them a check every month they don`t have to give you a deal. They already got you.
    The devil made me do it the first time.
    The second time I done it on my own.

    The only good thing about getting old is no longer having to worry about dying young.

    I actually briefly looked at the other carriers to see if there were any good deals for switching and there wasn`t squat.....certainly not enough to entice me off of Verizon`s network

    Shot & Killed: 624
    Shot & Wounded: 2937
    Total Shot: 3561
    Total Homicides: 675

    Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country. Gun control doesn`t work

    Re: Random thoughts thread

    Every spring for you know what`s and giggles I submit one or two PhD applications to different schools. I have my masters and turned down an offer to Florida State after grad school back in 2010 due to needing to pay for my recently purchased SRT.

    I still have that academic itch, even though it doesn`t necessarily have a direct ROI attached to it. Ever.

    Sometimes my applications get accepted, sometimes not.

    This year I am going to focus on my interest in the Negotiation of language and perceptions as it pertains to the phenomenon of commercialized ceramic coatings and how this reflects across social class. (Since I`m an Applied Sociologist by curiosity/education-whatever that means.)

    This year, if I get an acceptance I think I will accept it.

    Perhaps it`s time to just jump into the rabbit hole.

    Maybe I`m just bored.

    A little spackle and paint will cover up the hole on the wall just as well. Seriously though, if there is light at the end of the tunnel that has $$$ signs attached, you enjoy doing it and it makes you better than you are, go for it. Improving ones self and helping to make the world a better place is what this life is all about.

    Boredom? Huh, I`ve heard of that but always thought it was just some urban myth or something...

    512Detail- I can `t think of a better application of resources! Hope you go for it, and IMO that`d be an interesting topic to pursue.

    Man, I`d go for a PhD over a Hellcat so fast....with zero thought of whether it`d "pay off" monetarily.

    The 31st of January. A blue moon, and a supermoon , and a lunar eclipse. Hopefully it will be low on the horizon for some good pictures that includes the mountains in it. Something like the last supermoon .

    Oh, it works. When you make it almost impossible for law abiding citizens to legally buy and carry guns, gun control works extremely well to raise illegal activity and gun violence. It works.
