It looks like better coverage where I am at, and I can get a bunch of new phones while paying less than I do now.

Granted, I am giving up a legacy unlimited data package, but realistically, I'm not using all that much data. One daughter will have to learn to use the WiFi at home rather than rely on the network and another may have to actually put her music on her phone.

where I am at

Who taught you people to talk like that?

Kid asks man, "Hey, man, can you tell me where Dartmouth is at?"

Man replies, "Young man, you should never end a sentence with preposition."

Kid asks, "Hey, man, can you tell me where Dartmouth is at, you asshole?"

I've religiously avoided those things, because I know I'll be addicted.

Is it too early for Christmas Avatars?

No

Yes.

I've never been a fan. My Kryptonite is Panera's bread ... Panera bread ... Panera Bread's bread ... WHATEVER!

I hope not.

It's never open, always closed. I work nights..

Bread though... What's so special about bread?

You've just broken civilization with that comment.

Doesn't look yummy.

I love bread... a nice baguette especially. Unfortunately, it go straight to my waist, and I'm overweight enough as it is.

I just had the weirdest conversation: Verizon fraud department wanted to discuss my pending order. Which makes sense since I am a new client buying five phones. But the credit-report questions they asked me... the guy listed three credit applications over the past five years (mortgage, car loan, credit card) citing a date, the type of application and asking which of a list of banks issued each loan.

I was confused... first, I thought mortgage one was the transfer of my account from one bank to another, which seems to happen every other year, but my current mortgage-holder was not on the list. Then the other two-- I haven't applied for any loans in the past seven years.

Apparently I gave the right answers, since they approved my purchase... I should have my new phones by Thursday.

I may have missed something, I remember you saying you were getting a V20? Right? You said "phones" in the quote above ... getting more than one or something else?

 

[Dngrsone]

Actually, I'm picking up a pair of S7 Edge phones and three Moto Z for the family. Moving to a new carrier sometimes requires a whole new batch of phones.

Especially when they they have just come off of the donut line!

A little piece of Heaven on Earth!

I hope that yay was sarcastic because they have terrible donuts. I don't know how popular donuts are over there, but any medium to large-ish city over here probably has 25 mom and pop type donut shops that trounce Dunkin'.

 

[mikedt]

I did try it in Hangzhou a couple years ago. No actual flavour as such except been extremely sweet....

Where do the students pick their names from?

I was.

 

[olbriar]

If not for being the police's headquarters, Dunkin' would have gone out of business years ago here in the states.

 

[Clementine_3]

They used to be really good. When I was a kid they made the donuts at the shop and had a ton of varieties, fresh and yummy. Somewhere along the line they went to 'trucked in' donuts and all of three choices. Yuck.

 

[olbriar]

You are so right about that. It was once THE place buy around here. Winchell's is much the same.
A sad change to survive in the market I suppose.
