Two things I have learned about shopping....The first Item I liked was always the Item eventually purchased after shopping countless hours...

Second thing: Always buy the most expensive, because you get a lot more for not that much more....

Walt

Well you're definately right about that one. But its still fun. Its a girl thing. We are programmed to do it.
Must say though Sean and Scott made a lovely pair last year shopping together in Virginia. Lori and i couldn't stop laughing at them when they back with loads of clothes.

 

[Walt & Di]

I tend to do my homework before I shop. Particularly for a big item. For example, I am eligible for a new phone next week, so I have been reading everything I can find about the BlackBerry Storm. I might as well get the best! I have never had a nice cell phone, so this time I am splurging!

Been thinking about a home Blackberry as well since I am losing my work BB...Would like to hear the results...

What service provider do you use?

Walt

The place i was watching in Texas was Fort Worth not Fort William - thats is Scotland. Dumb me!!
Anyway it looked really nice but in the end they bought a tiny cottage in scotland instead. Must have been mad

 

[Walt & Di]

So, there is a money tree in Texas as well???

No, we only have Oil Wells....

Walt

 

[Walt & Di]

Awwww, that is sweet! I think you deserve a smoocher for that!

Thanks and yes I was flirting

Shy Walt

Back to work...I'll check in when I get there.

 

[cntkg1]

Well technically speaking, my initials aren't J.E.F.F. That is just the spelling of my name.

Care to try again?

PFFFFFT!!!!

Nancy, can I have more than one answer


With Kira and Rob....Grand Wailea Resort in Maui

Just Rob and I...Turtle Island

Future...In a suite on the new ship, sailing to Hawaii



(Jeff, I think Nancy meant "time" as in past/future, not duration of the trip So stop being such a grouch

)

Yes, Cass, you can have more than one answer. Since it's my game, I make up the rules.

When I meant "Time" I actually meant, time off from work, vacation lists, stuff like that. And.....I'M NOT GROUCHY!!!!

I have a black belt in shopping and the shoes to match! We'll get along just fine!

You haven't seen grouchy yet!

Neither have you, but you're about to.

Hey, isn't it nice to have it back to the old days when Nancy and I would take jabs at each other?

But remember Jeff, we got into some trouble for that didn't we? You don't know how it pains me to be so nice to you now. (JK).

Walt

I haven't yet got a BB. It isn't considered an official expense for work, but I want to get one so that I have access to the internet while sitting places like doctor's offices, outside a store while Elaine shops (couldn't resist that one!). I also like the calendar application on it. I think I will even be able to DIS mobily! I get reimbursed a portion of my cell phone charges for work. They pay for the basic service, and we are responsible for any add ons.

We have Verizon Wireless. When I moved to CT, I had AT&T formerly known as Cingular, but got rid of it and paid the early termination fees. The service was terrible. I was dropping calls like crazy and despite the ads, I did not have "more bars in more places!" We switched to Verizon Wireless because it seemed to be the bigger network in this area of the country. The service is good and I really can't complain.

Right now I am using a crappy LG Chocolate. I can't stand that phone and can't wait to get rid of it! Elaine had one too, but hers kept dying on her. On the 3rd time, she just got a new one. She has an LG ENV2. Its a decent phone and she has become a text queen on it.

Do you have Dish TV. We have a DVR but its with our cable Co. At present we have 62 channels but with Dish you get 200 and we would have 2 DVR's. for the same price im paying for cable.
Dan

Yes, our TV is through Dish Network. We've had it for at least a couple of years, and I have no complaints. I thinkwe have a smaller package (maybe 120 or 180 - I forget) but we have all the channels we need, and the price is better than cable. We don't watch a ton of TV, but we have the kids' channels that DS likes (Disney Channel, of course!) and SciFi, Bravo, TLC, etc. for us. We also get local channels - that's what sold us on it. Once we could get local channels we were ready to switch.

Make that 1-3. In baseball that will get me in the Hall of Fame!

Well, don't get an iPhone either Chris. Two of my kids have them and hate them. Constantly losing calls. They can't wait until their contracts are up in June.

My neighbor just got an iPhone and loves it. That's what convinced me to try for the BlackBerry Storm. I want the touch screen. I was just going to get a BlackBerry Curve until I played with her phone.

 

[dizneycrazy4]

If money was no object and neither is time, name ONE place you'd like to spend 1 week in.

My answer: A new Disney ship on a cruise to Hawaii

Alaskan or Hawaiian cruise

Pete was considering an iPhone until he talked to a couple of people around here who have one and they said the cell coverage isn't good at all. He got an iPod touch instead, and we both have Motorola phones. I like the quality of my Motorola much better than the 2 LG phones I had before it.

My LG Chocolate has terrible call quality. The microphone picks up everything. I try to only talk on it, when no one is around or no conversations because it picks up everything. This is especially true in the car. I have been on the phone with people and they can tell from the background noise that I am in a car from the road noise, etc that the phone picks up.

Boy, someone's looking at all the teeny details today!

On our wish list of vacations, there is a trip to England when Thomas is older - old enough to appreciate seeing the sights but young enough to not mind travelling with Mom and Dad!

I hope that the memories of our family vacations, that our kids never tire of vacationing w/mom & dad. We have never vacationed w/out our kids.
