Well, the crap above was told to me by the employee/ Manager at the Cricket Store and for some  strange reason I tend to believe him more than what I read about a lot of stuff on internet because we know everything you read on line has to be the truth.......... :ugh: :ugh: Right???   How come I never saw AIO advertised as a Prepaid program from AT&T advertised on Television Commercials for AT&T if they had a prepaid and if they had a prepaid why pay 1.19 Billion for another one? You may be 100% correct. I just know they gave me a great deal on the phone and plan I wanted and just hoping when they switch to the new broad band in March 2015 I get a good deal then also..................... :up: ...............jmho

Sorry to read and hear about this. Some people just cannot keep their hands off things that belong to other people. Won't do me much good to watch for it up this way but one never knows where it may show up.................jmho   But if I do see a green Kow I will give it a once over. Serial number might help.......... :up:

It's on 60 minutes right now...

Well it is like I said in a post earlier. My Grand son and I went to a Verizon phone store to get him the hottest new phone out according to him. You would have thought this phone the best thing since sliced bread and Whiskey. We get there to the store and my grandson tells the clerk what he wants and the clerk smiles and goes in the back and comes out with this miracle phone of all phones according to my Grandson. It had only been out and available for about 10 days so he hands my grandson the phone and then said I don't know why you didn't get such n such a phone and I grand son said what kind is that and the guy looked at him and said the one they just released to replace that one you just bought. MY grandson said but this one has only been available about 10 days and the guy said yep. Ain't technology great.....Needless to say I had to almost drag my grandson out of the store because he wanting to literally go around the counter and beat hell out of the clerk for not telling him about the newest phone before he bought the one he had. I talked with a friend that has been in the Computer Service business for a long time and he keeps my old machines working and he told me that they already have at least 20 to 25 new note books, I Pads, Laptops and phones made and ready for release and upgrading and designing new stuff 24/7 so anything you buy today is obsolete before you even buy it. That is why I don't own and I pad, Lap top, I Phone, Smart phone and I told the guy at Cricket Store on Friday, if they did not offer a very simple Flip phone I won't do business with them and I got a little cheap flip phone that will do everything I want it to do. for 25 bucks a month. Unlimited talk, unlimited long distance, Call waiting, Voice mail, unlimited text and the phone talks to me and tells me who is calling so I know if I want to bother answering it or not. I'm happy plus it works off AT&T Tower network and had great reception and I have yet to open it up that it does not have 4 bars on the tower. My old phone struggled to get three but most times had just two and would drop calls. I have gone to 5 places that I could not get service on my old phone and had no problem with this one.  I am hoping my switch with the new WIFI Broadband for my computer is as smooth................... :up:  :up:  :up:    

My daughter set up a Facebook account for me without asking me first and I had on hell of a  :rant:  :rant:  :rant:  :rant:  :rant:  :rant:  :rant:  with her about it. She came over and removed my account but I still get emails from the damn program and I just delete them with out ever opening them up. I told her she needs to figure out how to get me out of the completely so I don't even get emails from them. I get less each day but I won't be happy til I don't get a single one from them.................jmho       I found out the best way to keep up with the shags from back then in join Classmates and search all the year book years aand you can even get emailing back and forth with a lot of them without telling the world your business............. :up: :up:

Back years ago when growing up on our ranch if I shot a deer and it left a blood trail but we lost it I would go back to the house and get one or two of the Fox hounds we had that were trained to run and track deer and we would take them and put them on the blood trail. Don't recall ever losing a deer. Those Fox hounds would not give up till  they found the deer. You could tell by their barks when they were trailing and when they found the deer and then you could tell if the deer was down or running when the dogs got close to him. Deer seem to act a lot like a rabbit with a beagle on his trail. The rabbit 95% of the time will make a large circle and come almost right back where it was jumped. A deer will do the same but were the rabbits circle might be 50 yards the deers is liable to be 3 miles or more before coming back into the area or dying . Back then before the days of 4 wheelers if we had to get the hounds out we also got the horses out............ :rofl:  :rofl:  Not about to do as much walking as may be involved chasing a wounded deer.  

I am glad phone companies for the most part are finally realizing that without customers they don't have a phone company and like me most phones hate contracts. It blew me away when the guy told me my phone bill would be coming down 5 bucks for better service and still no contract............. :up: :up:

I can set my clocks by my old dogs stomach.  7AM if she is inside her paws hit the edge of the mattress telling me it's time to get up and feed me and let me out. At 4PM she is normally most times out side and she comes to the aluminum storm door and when she drags her nails across that serrated solid bottom it can be heard all over the house. This morning she was inside and her paws hit the bed mattress at 6AM as I set all my clocks back last night before retiring for the night. This evening she will be at the door at 3PM for supper but I will put that off till 4PM. It's a lot easier setting her evening tummy clock that it is her morning tummy because of the having to go out part so that one takes longer................ :rofl:  :rofl:  :up:  

I have about everything I need and the only thing I can think of I would like to have is the Pre63 Model 94 30/30 Winchester and the 12 gauge Winchester Model 12 Pump Shotgun that belong ed to my oldest son. The 94 was my Grandfathers gun passed down to me and the Model 12 was a gift from me to my oldest son on his 12th birthday that I owned since I was about 14. Those are two of the guns they got when they robbed our house while my son was in a coma and we were staying at the hospital. Small town and everyone knew we were not coming home till  the crisis passed or he passed. I would pay $3,000.00 to get those two guns back no questions asked right now. I find it very hard with today's technology that someone could steal an assortment of long and hand guns totaling 17 guns in 1988 with all of the serial numbers listed in the theft report and pictures of most of them and it is 2014 and not one of those guns has been found any place. Not a pawn shop, a crime scene. a drug raid of someplace but who ever took them has never done anything with them is all I can figure. I  had a big reward up for them over $7,500.00 no questions asked right after it happened and never got a bite. I kind of knew then I would never see them again but have never lost hope................. :cry: :cry:

Well in all honesty I did consider send a big bag of them to my ex wife but my son told me a while back that she is in bad health and he is worried about her and I thought I would not do that to the woman that provided me with my wonderful 2 Sons and is their sons grandmother........................................ :squint: :squint:

I would have sworn I made a post in this thread this morning about my Pizza but evidently not so will now. I have had better pizzas and this is my first from them Ordered a medium loaded and it had everything I wanted on it and they really believe in Cheese. I had to use my Pizza cutter 3 times to cut it and still ended up eating the slices I could get out with knife and fork. Taste better after I added some Pizza hut garlic sauce to it. Was much better cold from  fridge this morning with coffee. Was able to cut it and in would actually slice up. Won't be going out of my way to order from them again but not sorry I ordered this time. Was more for reason than Pizza..............JMHO

You do and you might be the only one at work. Your sure gonna be busy.................... :rofl: :rofl:

Done and it's 63 % for and 37 against

I have heard a lot about these bears and if I really had someone I hated I would buy them a bag but I can't think of anyone I hate that bad.................. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I had a very close friend pass away about 3 years ago now and on the day of his death he weigh 640 lbs. He was put on Ice so to say, kept in cooler until a special coffin could be constructed for him. The frame was all welded together and had beautiful mahogany wood on the outside and beautiful blue lining inside and had 6 chrome welded hooks installed into the metal frame and he was taken to the grave from the hearse with a large brand new Bobcat and coffin had 6 chrome cables attached at 4 corners and in the middle on both sides. Was a nice service if there is such a thing at a grave site.....................jmho  

GOOD NEWS FOLKS  I think!!!!   My phone and internet broad band problems are solved and Cricket solved them. It does help when you go t one of the Company stores and just talk with someone. You can learn so very much more. Went Yesterday and spoke with a nice young mane named Brian. He explained to me that the purchase of cricket by AT&T was not a recent item as I had been told by folks. AT&T bought Cricket a year or more ago and have been very slowly and gently making subtle changes as to not shock folks. They wanted to offer a Prepaid plan like other companies with out contracts and decided it would be better to just buy a Prepaid company that to try and build one from scratch.   They already owned a company called AIO so they have began implementing and combining the two companies into one and it will be remaining Cricket and new company Is Cricket & AIO. They will be using AIO phone network so Cricket phones will not work so will have to buy a new phone which I did yesterday. I didn't want a flat screen smart phone at all and they are offering 1 flip phone and it was Get ready!!!  $29.95 and they took my old Cricket phone in on trade and gave me 25.00 trade in so new phone on new plan cost 4.95 plus tax. They also not only allowed me to stay on my original pricing which was 30.00 a month with all the options most phones have I wanted but after looking at my years of being a loyal Cricket customer y new month service is going to be $25.00 a month. 5 bucks cheaper.  So phone issue is solved   Than came the broad band issue. Brian said that the Cricket Broad band will be active till March 2015 and then will go off line and the new AIO Broadband will come on line. He told me to come in the store in February and bring my old Broad band unit with me. I can sign up on the new AIO 3 GBT program and pick up my new AIO BB unit which is $79.00 but they are giving a 45.00 trade in on the old cricket BB units so the unit will be $34.00 plus tax. He said the only down side to all of this is my month service will be going from $30.00 a month to $40.00 per month. With the $5.00 phone discount thats only a $5.00 increase but listen to this. I have been paying $30.00 a month for 2048 mbs per month and I will be going up to 4GB speed which have been on 3GB and my Broadband will be going from 2048 mbs to 2 GB. I have been running out of high speed about two weeks into each month and going to crawl speed for two weeks.  I won't be going to crawl speed ever again for 5 bucks more. I don't know about what half of this stuff means but it sounds good to me so I am thrilled...................... :cheers: :biglol: :biglol: :biglol: :drool: :drool: :drool:    Now will someone that is high tech enough explain this to me in laymen terms what the BB program is all about and is it a good deal of not????????

Just to clear up one thing here about this post. Except for the most heinous crimes of rape or incest that creates a pregnancy I am totally against abortions. I don't believe that just because a woman and a man engage in sex and a pregnancy occurs that is reason for an abortion. They both knew going in that there is a small chance-of it happening but they take that chance they should be willing to accept the responsibility of allowing the child to be born. They are not forced to keep the child. There are 1000's of really great people in this country on waiting lists to adopt a child that for some reason cannot have one of their own but willing to give one or more a wonderful home. The only problem with that is the stupid Federal Government RED TAPE AND HOOPS they want people to jump through to adopt a child has cause people to start going out of country to adopt because the rules in other nations are much easier to bring a child to the home of loving parents. If the Federal Government would get out of the adoption business and let it be handled at the state government level I think more children would be in loving homes a lot more and a lot sooner............JMHO 

No. I don't brush my teeth!!!!  :panic:  But I do take them out each night and put them in a glass with a cleaner in it beside my bed............... :whistle:

In my opinion if it was my girlfriend of 9 years I would want to know for my own personal knowledge what the charge was. Was it a gun related charge or was it a non violent felony.  Drug related or domestic violence or what. I am a true believer in being tried by 12 rather than carried by 6 for being stupid. I will not advise anyone how to handle their lives. That is their responsibility. A lot of what my decision would be is based on is what the charge was back in her teenage years.....................jmho  I think if it came down to my protection and the protection of my home I would have to give it  a lot of thought. Again .................jmho

I am not sure where your coming from when you speak about people committing suicide. If your calling a choice to not treat an illness that you know if going to take your life suicide then you need to research what Suicide is. Shooting your self in the head, hanging your self, deliberately taking a major overdose of a sleeping pill prescription, jumping off a tall building, stepping in from of a train, jumping out of an airplane with not parachute on are some of the ways a person can commit suicide. Refusing to treat an illness that in many cases will end up taking your life anyway and torturing your body and making your last days miserable is not suicide. That is allowing nature to take it's course as GOD will have it be.................jmho

I have seen death in many different ways from auto accidents to war and battle fields and everything in between. I think any form or Cancer has got to be one of the worst ways of all to die prematurely or before old age. I have seen a few friends that fought cancer hard going through all the processes doctors can offer to treat it. I won't go through it either should the time come that I am diagnosed with it. I have already made it clear to my doctors and it is in my Living Will  that I won't do anything to treat the issue. If that is what GOD has decided for me so be it.   My family and friends already know my feelings and have no issues with my decision. Like Ray my doctors orders are just keep me as comfortable as possible and let me go in peace with my dignity intact. I had another angling friend that was teamed up with his son and we all fished together. He was diagnosed with cancer and at his families request he chose to fight it and he fought it like Hell and went through all the programs of Chemo and Radiation treatments. His last year of life he was so weak he could not do anything except stay home most of the time. His son fished with a new partner at his fathers request. His father told his son that he wished he would have not fought the cancer and took the treatments and he could have fished with him some that last year.    I do hear of many cases where people are cancer free after taking the treatments or the cancer is in remission but that just means dormant but not gone. I also did some research on this and in about 90+% the patient is under age 35 and relatively in good health when it is discovered. Age plays a very important factor in my opinion and I am 66 so my decision was a gimme. I hope to live many more years but not so many that I become a burden on my family. I trust GOD will grant me the wish that i ask of him each night..........................jmho

Some of you folks know I fished bass tournaments for many years and just quit about 2011 and turned the Skeeter bass boat over to my Son in Law. During the many years of fishing I met some wonderful people but there was on angler in particular that I developed a friend ship with and even though we were fierce competitors while on the water we became the best of friends on dry land. His name was Ray. Now Ray was known to take a nip of two or three.......lol and my glass was never empty while I was with him in the parking lots of boat ramps visiting with other anglers after a tournament.   Ray always had a smile on his face and he would normally keep folks laughing with his and Stumps fishing escapades over the years. Ray and Stump won a lot of tournaments over the years. He always told folks it was because they always used my baits that I made special for him and he and Stump did buy a lot of my baits but that is for another time.   Back in 2009 Ray was informed by his doctor that he had a tumor close to the size of a ping pong ball causing his headaches and that he needed to have it removed. Well, after some thought Ray decided that he was not going to have an operation and asked the doctor how long he had.   The doctor said well Ray, there is really no way to put a time on death but I can promise you the pain will get worse before you die. Ray looked at him and said Well Doc, that is were you come in. your job will be to keep my pain as minimum as possible with what ever medications you can use by law and I will do the rest with Jack Daniels. At one of the Bigger Tournaments that came up that next weekend Ray told all of his friends what his plans were for his future. He told everyone that he didn't want any pity and didn't want any one to treat his any different and we didn't   That was I think in March of 2009. Him and Stump fish as usual and Ray cut up and had folks laughing as usual and he rolling bar was open as usual at every weigh in. Stump was designated driver of both boat and truck by then and under the cover in the back of his pick up was the bar. We all could see him going away a little more each time we all saw him. In July he and Stump fish the PBF Inc Trail tournament on Old Hickory lake and in their usual fashion they won it and everyone was glad for them and the bar was open after the weigh in.  Ray took me aside for sort few minutes and he told me that he was not going to be fishing any more and he did not want me to come and visit him any more and he requested that i remember his now and how he is now. I promised him I would do as he requested.   The bass fishing industry lost a great angler and a bunch of us lost a wonderful friend on I think it was September 10th 2009 Ray did as this young lady is doing. Ray did it "HIS WAY"

I grew up listening to them and many other great bands that have all began to fade into the limelight of time. They say that all good things must come to an end and this is just one more of them. Last concert I attended was the last performance by Lynard Skynard before the plane crash and the Marshall Tucker band opened that night for them. After the crash I never felt like going to another concert. The Allman Brothers will be missed for sure by people my age................jmho

He said after being in the beginning classes he was seeing changes almost over night. He studied about everything he was able to get his hands on about what the training would consist of and within 7 months the entire training programs had changed and the changes made him begin to feel uncomfortable. He didn't elaborate and I didn't push. He left with an honorable of 4 years. He came to me the other day and we had a long talk. He still feels that he wants to serve his country much more than he has and he has been talking to some Rangers and guys in Ranger training and they said that their programs have also changed since they enlisted. I told him, son, your still a very young man with your whole life ahead of you. Lets wait a few years and look at this again. I don't know if he will or not but I will support what ever his decisions are. I just hope he waits..................jmho

Those days need to come back. I think to steal a mans cows is like stealing his money and should be dealt with in the same way if caught...................A bullet between the eyes to all of them and a phone call.
