First World Problems

I always use up the last of my data a day or two before my next pay period. Then, they charge me an extra 15$.

just in case, it applies, ATT has a new feature / policy

slowing down transmission and not charging the extra $15

Being far from 'the tower' my droid device is always switching between 4G LTE, 4G and 3G (sometimes 1X, whatever that is). So although I'm allocated 3 gigabytes of 4G LTE bandwidth I have not managed to use it all up. If I want to download a show, I go where there's fast & free Wi-Fi. 

At the moment, my droid is also my wireless modem/router using a tethering app called 'PDANet' . Faster than dial-up but slower than say, Panera Wi-Fi.

I always imagined you as a flip-phone kinda guy, Stu.

Ned,

I lost my last flipper at the Port Chester Hilton.  They said they would mail it along to me but never did.  Oh well, it was a five-dollar fone.

I can sort of see the advantage of the current, more futuristic device, but battery life is poor.

Who needs anything more then a basic flip phone to make and receive calls and basic text? Those who think they do are the mistaken ones. We have becomes slaves to our devices

I do like the advantage of having a microcomputer in my pocket when out traveling; I can query "Peruvian Restaurant Lancaster PA" and find a place to eat.

Thing makes fone calls, too.

Yeah, who needs recorded music or photos of your family?

Ask anyone who has survived a house fire and you would be surprised to hear how unimportant those things are when stacked against basic human needs and life.

Wanting to be cool is a first world problem.

Hey, I wonder if there be any Pokemon about?

I received a text yesterday afternoon that I was at 75% of monthly data plan.  That evening, my wife informed me that we passed 100% within a few hours of the original notice.

 

Sounds a tad fishy to me...

We need to sell our killah Panic! At the disco tix as it turns out the girly has a flag band show that day 

Nordstroms not carry the Ivanka Trump line

Why is he tweeting about Ivanka and Nordstrom during the workday?

Get to work you bum!

Sweet, I'll have to try and take advantage of that new ATand t feature. It's prob the Facebook and google maps app. I still haven't quite figured out Instagram all that well.

The receipts that Home Depot gives out are too fucking long and take up too much space in my recent folder.
