In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[grumpyyoungguy]

What do you mean by this?

Sprint/Nextel lost 1 million customers in the last quarter of 2007. They also cancelled service to customers who were "calling for help too much"

I have heard that. I've not had any problems. But I read all kinds of threads about getting out of your contract. I like Sprint.

I don't hold anything against Sprint at all.

I haven't done anything yet. So, I don't have any "new" plans. Is there an issue I should be aware of before I change. My Nextel, local numbers, I can transfer. But, then I won't get "free" new phones with new service from Sprint. All I'll get is the $150 upgrade.

I work for a company that has a service foot print the exact same size as sprint. I could get you new phones for all of them the only possible issue would be they would not be local numbers. However all calls to each other, roaming, text message, picture mail, etc is included. This would give the teenager the service they are looking for and still allow you access that you want. The other thing is the Nextel type service(chirp) can be added to which ever phones you want on the service which would allow them to work simultaneously. In additon there is a "rugged" phone that is military rated for drops, dust, shock etc. That way dh and the crews shouldnt be able to ruin them. An advantage if you happen to be on a construction site and the thing falls 30 ft to the concrete.


We really only need 3 new lines from Sprint. Husband already has one, and only 3 of the 4 employee phones are in use. SO, ideally, we could just add the three phones to our existing account and max out with 6 lines.

So, the Nextel sales man was feeding me bull to keep me a customer. We could not get a Nextel Cellular phone and it work in all the same places as Sprint?

Sometimes sales people are not ethical. I REALLY hate that and have zero tollerance of that in the folks I direct. In fact the number one rule for me is the customer is first.

AHHH...to.much.information.


One more thing. MY APOLOGIES TO EVERYONE ELSE. I know, you wanted to read about food and exercise, not DWD obsessive compulsive desire to know everything there is to know about cell phone technology.

I second the apologies folks.

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Yeah right. I'm guessing they're still "in the closet."

I belive you. I just don't understand. Why would a heterosexual man want a pink phone?

Grumps, do you carry a pink phone? I know which way you swing. DD.

I love swings Anyway no I have two phones 1 red and 1 black...DD has the samsung 520 and you can ask her opinion, the kids have 3 different phones.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

As of now...born2bird, AKA Snow White, DWD & MUNKYME13 are still a NOYDB (okay I am LMAO right now because I just fixed this and AKA Snow White was..AKA SOW WHITE...not a good leader of a weight loss thread huh!!!)

SOW WHITE? After what I ate and drank this evening, that might be more fitting (and I wondered why I gained weight last week...

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I'm not really ready to leave Sprint. They've never given me any problems. And I am shocked they've lost so many customers. Nextel has never given me problems either. Their phones are just not as reliable.

Maybe we are easy to get along with.

I agree about the unethical customer service. Even if I was on the fence, which I was not, the way he acted, just put a boot in my back and kicked me to the other side.

Thanks for letting me pick your brain. If you ever need advise about residential construction and the like, I'm your girl. (I hope )

I understand...just trying to help a friend. I would check out the samsung 520. If you liek the Katana II I say go for it. They should be waranteed for 1 yr so maybe that isnt so bad. As far as easy to get along with? I couldnt see you any other way.

Thanks for the construction offer...May need that. I did as a kid grow up helping my grandfather in the same field. I do have some skill although I could always learn more.

BTW I was coming to see the Blizzard of 2008 since I have some vacation time. Can you recommend a good B&B...

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

You are too funny girl....I bet you are getting ready to snuggle down and hold out the snow....got a good book???

I mis your humour here...you've been kinda quiet....so were ya shocked or did ya have a clue?

No. I don't have a good book. Or even a good fashion mag. I'd love a romance novel right now. I've be downgraded to Professional Builder and Family Fun. Comon, I'm not the family fun type. I'm the, "go play kids, mommy's DISsing", type.

I was SHOCKED. Happy shocked. No clue. I need things spelled out.

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

No..my man has a leopard print one cause he's a tiger.... roooooar...

Ok so somebody needs to applaud DD for her comment otherwise she may pout and take her laptop and go home...

Dawn...All I could see in my minds eye was Grumps in loapard print undies. And I've never seen him before.

You know, the kind young, cocky boys wear. Oh, that might be TMI. I have nothing to do with young boys. I swear.

Do you guys think a pink cell phone for an overweight 31year old is unprofessional?

I want a pink phone. But I'm no Paris Hilton, so will I look like I'm trying to hard?

BUT...more importantly...I am a professional. And don't want to whip out a pink phone and look silly.

Give me your thoughts.

I don't usually buy into the "Get what you want, it doesn't matter what others think", because it really does matter to me.

I am getting a phone. My cell keeps dying randomly and I have a $150 credit, so....which one. Pink or silver.

I wouldn't get a pink phone, but it is because I don't like pink...

And I have seen pics, it isn't like you are the walrus with the pink tutu.

Hello everyone... I was invited to join you guys... so how does this work?... My name is Nathalie, I'm trying to lose weight, so far, since Jan 10th I lost 8 -10 lbs... I'm yoyoing up and down... This week I started to exercice some more... I did about 15 min Tae Bo and 15 min of walking, and 20 min of weights... not much, but it's a start...
I weight in between 254 - 250, depending on my yoyoing week ha!
I just want to feel good about myself, regain confidence etc... I am 39, going to be 40 in Sept.
My husband of 13 years (21 years together) decided to leave me and the kids this past summer... something to do with sex!!! I was on holidays for a week visiting my sister and when I came back home, he was at the door and told me that he was leaving, no explanation... of course there's an other woman, I could understand if she was younger, smaller, prettier... but she is not... just a real bad reputation of being easy... so off he went!
I found myself a job well actually I'm working 2 jobs... I have custody of the kids, and my goal is to make sure that my kids are well taking care off and secure... so in May I am going to Disney to get some energy and fun back in my life...
And that's it for me... well not it... so much Drama in my life right now and not caused by me... but my ex and his family ha! ha!

Welcome!!! We are nuts but we love to add more to the craziness here!

Ok, ok, so I am a bit buzzed at the moment...doesn't mean I am not sincere! Wow--look at that...seeing double and still spelled everything right! I slay me...

Where is the cheers smilie when you need it!!

No. I don't have a good book. Or even a good fashion mag. I'd love a romance novel right now. I've be downgraded to Professional Builder and Family Fun. Comon, I'm not the family fun type. I'm the, "go play kids, mommy's DISsing", type.

I was SHOCKED. Happy shocked. No clue. I need things spelled out.

It took me a bit too DWD... they were calling me slow.

Oh, and I was one of those 1 million customers that ditched Sprint. Switched from them to Verizon, and then tried to switch back in my 30 day trial period (Verizon didn't work well in one place I needed it to), and it took them 10 days and probably 20 hours on the phone/in the store to get my number ported. Promised 2 months free and free activation, then my first bill was $400+. They already had a few strikes from the previous time I was with them, so that was enough and we cancelled (still in 30 day period) and switched to Cingular.

Okay, food for today:
B: Coffee
L: Pita w/ laughing cow (100), chicken soft taco (100), fiber one w/ milk (100)
S: 4 oz glass wine (75)
D: 8 oz strip steak (350), potato (100), broccoli (30), salad (100)
Total, 955. Think I will have a snack in a few min. Exercise, none. Water, 64 oz or so.

Hope everyone had a great day!!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

I love coming home and reading three pages of posts! Whee!

Okay, going to bed now...please don't reveal anymore romances overnight without at least sending me a PM so I can play along...

and CONGRATS Dawn and Dan!!!

SOOO happy for you two!!!

Anyone here on WW?

I am wondering if there is a good list of items that are only 1 or 2 points. Quick and easy things are what I need. I am chasing two little kids and the more I have to fix, the harder it is for me to stick with it.

SeptGirl and I are both on WW. There are tons of lists and sites all over the internet. I have three kids and work full time, so I know what you mean about needing easy grab-n-go type of stuff. She is the guru, so I am sure she has lots of stuff to recommend.

This site is pretty comprehensive, but it does not focus on quick items...just everything.

http://quiddity.cc/rachel/diet/wwfoods.htm

I always keep a box of Fiber One bars on hand (one point each and I find them yummy). And most fruits are 1 or 2 points per serving. Of course, there are also all of those 100-calorie pack snacks...most are 1 or 2 points. But I am trying to stick to more "whole" foods instead of tons of processed stuff, so it is definitely hard to do that quickly.

Good luck and jump on to some of the WW threads that are here on the Wish boards!

Just wanted to stop by and offer my congrats to the losers.

Keep up your hard work and dedication.

Have a great day!

OMG, you people are all still talking about Dan and Dawn? That is just SOOO yesterday!
