Now: Safelink | Was:Re: How is everyone?

[Guest guest]

I did mine online, and they

provided the options to choose from there.. I choose the 125,

cause I don't want to lose any minutes that I don't use.... just

in case.. could end up in the hospital and they charge and arm

& a leg for phone service there.. cell phone would be good..

fire it up and be able to talk to people.. the hospital I'd be

in for an exacerbation has internet access for patients.. not

quite WEP secure like it is here at home.. but secure enough to

do what I'd want to do while there.. but I don't have Skype so..

the cell will be nice for that.. it does have text capabilities,

but at 1 minute per text, I don't think text will be a real

option for me.. not with the novels I write anyway.. LOL..

It will be interesting to see what type of phone they send

though.. and I'm thinking as well, since it's tracfone cards one

can buy to "up" their minutes should they find need to (I doubt

that will happen either.. too 'spensive) it will be running on

the Verizon Network too.. but I guess I'll find out once the

phone arrives..

Might use the text options after a few months of accumulating

some minutes..

But so long as it's got enough minutes should I have an

emergency here and can't use the house phone.. it'll all be

good..

When you get yours, log in and check out the

plans, mine gives me 125 mins a month and has

rollover, there is a 62 min a m0nth plan and that

one also has rollover and includes oversea calling

(which I don't need, so I opted for the extra

minutes) there is also a 250 a month plan but no

rollover. Mine also includes texting, check out the

plans and pick the one best suited to you.

Because of the rollover I now have something like

1,180 mins accumulated...

Re: How is everyone?

 

Cell phones are

nice.. I'm finally going to be getting my safelink

phone. HAD to use Bill's address (and heck most of

my medical stuff is going out there anyway, since

the insurance company just can't seem to get it

that I don't live there.. I live here and he lives

there.. LOL).. and I did ask him if I could use

the address.

Safelink won't send one to my address because

according to them.. my address doesn't exist..

even though we've lived here together for 7 of the

past 11 years.. and other than the time spent at

my apartment down the block and over two..

has lived 59 of his 60 years right cheer in that

ole house next door (well.. he's been in this one

for 7 years with me now).. We still don't exist

according to Safelink's look up on the USPS lookup

site.. Can't send it to the niece's house, since

that household already has 1.. so...

I explained the program to Bill, and asked if I

could use his address to have my phone shipped

to... He's working, and healthy so isn't going to

need one... at least not in the foreseeable

future.. and he agreed that I did need a cell here

with me.. for when these storms pass through and

somehow always manage to take out my power (except

the last two).. for a couple of three or more

days.. battery back up on the house phone only

lasts 8 hours.. and then it's ONLY if you don't

pick the thing up and use it.. LOL (found that out

the hard way)...

Once I have that phone in hand, I will feel much

much safer, as I'm sure you do with Robbin having

one with him at all times as well... The only

thing I could think of when the "micro-burst"

ripped through between us and the neighbors house

-- didn't touch either of our houses but did take

out the top of a huge tree at the end of our

property and broke the neighbor across the road's

cherry tree in half!.. -- but the only thing I

could think of was me & the puppies & the

birdie laying in a pile of rubble with no way to

get in touch with anybody.. cause my neighbors

sure aren't going to check on me.. (well maybe,

but not real likely when the lady of the house

will walk up her sidewalk and pretend not to see

me in the power chair on the porch.. while my dogs

are barking at her). But that's neither here nor

there..

Now if only StraightTalk could get a little bit

better with figuring out their problems.. but then

I guess most people don't upgrade their phones AND

request to have their number migrated (along with

the newly purchased minutes) to the new phone..

But I do love StraightTalk.. they run off the

Verizon network here (or at least where we

registered the most use of the phone -- it's

's for work) and we'll be starting to purchase

the unlimited plan each month.. $45 plus a dollar

or two in tax for unlimited everything.. AND he

gets signal in places that he never had signal

with Sprint.. so we've got way more coverage for

way way way way less money (over $100 per month

for our two phones with Sprint, and then we had to

share 700 minutes!.. no web.. and it was $10 or

$20 extra for unlimited text on my phone.. HAD to

take that, cause they didn't tell me that I could

block incoming text messages.. only that it would

cost me 10 or 20 cents for each incoming.. -- even

if I didn't get the Safelink phone.. we could

still do 2 phones for $90 a month, and actually we

could probably only do the 1000 minutes on mine

and get away with even less each month than we had

tied up in Sprint's lousy service)...

But I ramble..

Love the Food Glorious Food post.. and happy to

hear that Robbin is out getting some exercise and

then hopefully a cool dip in the pool.. and has a

phone on him just in case.. (and maybe instead of

calling you if something should go awry... he

should dial 911 and tell them he's being kidnapped

or taken away against his will.. as his first

call)

HUGS

That's what I figured. Plus Rob is

1,000 miles away from here so I am

pretty sure Robbin WILL be coming

home...if he were in town there is no

way...but either way Robbin has his

little cell phone on him (just hope he

doesn't repeat what he did last time

he went to the pool without me...and

jumped in with the phone IN his

pocket...they replaced it, though,

thank goodness...)

I

wish I could say only once last

night.. I consider myself extremely

lucky if it's only twice.. and that

doesn't happen often... maybe it was

the Cranberry juice I had with

dinner last night.. or maybe it was

just the fact that I was sleeping

good, when I was sleeping, and the

MonSter didn't like that one little

bit, so would kick start the bladder

just as I fell into a REM cycle or

something.. LOL

Doesn't hurt them to be out and

about working either... the kid, not

the MIL...   learn the ethic

young.. so that they don't think

they are too good to work hard

later..

HUGS

I

hearya...seriously...and

last night I only went

once...

I have on the second

patch, will be wearing

it for another hour or

so. Silly things seem to

work better *after* I

take them off, but then

again it IS

time-release...

Robbin is off with

his granny Elaine,

helping her with her

lawn care biz. Trying to

instill a work ethic

into the lad, something

his dad never got.

They'll work until it

gets too hot then go

get a sammy then hop

into the clubhouse

pool...so I probably

won't see him till well

into the

afternoon...don't know

if she will pay him but

I told him to work like

he's getting $20 an hour

either way. After all,

she DOES take us to the

store, the Dr...on her

gas. I did tell her that

when my SSI comes in I

am going to give her

some $$ to help pay for

all the gas. I think

that surprised her, but

it is only fair...

Probably

a combination of all

of those things.. but

it really doesn't

matter which if any or

all of them are

working.. so long as

the pain is going

away!!! and I'm glad

to hear that it is..

Now... can you send me

on of those no P break

nights?..

Re:

I

sure hope you

feel better

soon.. I'm not

quite sure

which is

worse.. mouth

or neck pain..

might both be

equally as

horrific!  I

remember

having a 'bout

with neck pain

a couple of

years back.. I

laid on the

bed, face

buried in a

pillow (well

top part of my

head,

otherwise I'd

have

suffocated) to

try and get

some relief --

at the time I

figured

misalignment

-- ended

up calling our

chiropractor,

pretty much

begging for

any time he

could afford

me (and

doesn't make

appointments...

unless it's

for work and

the boss asks

him

specifically

to do so..

<grin>)

Even after all

his

stimulation

stuff &

massaging

techniques and

stuff.. he

couldn't get

but one tiny

little "pop"

out of the

neck.  He

suggested that

it was

possibly that

everything was

just so

tightened up

that no amount

of

massage-n-things

was going to

relax the neck

enough to

manipulate

it.. I went

back the next

day, and the

next.. to no

avail.. I did

get a bit of

relief for the

heat &

massage, at

least I wasn't

begging for

someone to

"shoot me now"

type deal..

After 3 or so

trips to see

him.. he

tended to

agree with me

(especially

after the

muscles had

relaxed enough

that he

"should" have

been able to

manipulate AND

he couldn't

find anything

out of

alignment)

that it was

most like the

MonSter

rearing his

ugly head...

That's the sad

part of living

with the

MonSter..

something we

think of as

simply a

"stiff neck"

might not

actually be

coming from

having slept

the wrong

way.. and we

waste way too

many

hours/days

thinking it

will go away

come

tomorrow.. and

we tend to

think, as

well, that if

we run to the

doctor because

of something

that could be

quite simple

the doc will

begin to

consider us a

hypochondriac

type person...

Hope the doc

was able to at

least do

something to

help relieve

your pain and

that you're

feeling better

this

morning...
