Friday Roll Call

Morning/day Illinois. Get up you sleepy heads and enjoy the sunshine!

Off to the IPD shortly and then home to spread some more mulch. We have about 1/2 of the 5 yrds done so far.

Good morning my friends :)

I am about to head out to a fitness class to help work my muscles. I was supposed to have a session yesterday but I got sick.  

Ooops .. I  gotta leave now .. ttyl.

I am back (I know that was quick). Learned to overcome my fear of the exercise ball. Did 3 chest exercises on that and then one on the machine. Thats more than enough for now. My arms are sore. I look forward to feeling my chest muscles in the morning. That way I know I am working the right area.

 Good Morning,

Woke up this morning to sun. That got me going. I want to finish my planned chores and errands so I can get some rays. Even if it is a bit cool. 

The play we went to last night was great. It was called POP. It was a music review of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. We didn't get home until after 10.

Ahmere, you are going great. Between you and Crystal, the rest of us need to catch up.

The more mulch you move Chris, the more exercise you are getting. I want to get out and clean up the backyard this weekend. At least start on it. The pool is opened, but not finished yet.

BTW, I did take a brisk short walk last night. No knee pain. So, I will resume my walking now.

Ok, back to chores.

Have a great day, and remember to honor our vets this weekend. They deserve it.

Good morning!

The sun is shining and looks wonderful outside!

Busy day today.  We start boxing and de-cluttering and making the house look pretty!  My sister, BIL and niece are coming on Sunday to help me get it done.  I so appreciate the help! 

Getting on the treadmill today and doing some arm exercises.  I am stuck at 200.  I am getting frustrated because of course I want to loose more, but I really want one more pound!  I want to be in the 1's!  I know I'm not exercising enough.  I have to do a better job of getting it in everyday.  And drink more water.  I know I am not getting enough water. 

I hope everyone enjoys the day!

Take care,

Jules

Hello everyone

Friday is finally here!!!!  I am so happy, three day weekend here I come!!!!  I have a lot to do today and I will be here late, because of month end. 

My daughter has been on my cell phone plan.  She was going to stay on my plan till after she got back from the honeymoon.  Well I guess her cellphone died and you can't get a new phone without renewing your contract (or paying full price) so she went on to her fiance's plan early.  I called At&t to cancel her line and go down to an individual plan.  At&t is a pushy little monster.  I had to tell them 4 times my daughter already has a new plan with a new carrier and there is no one to take over her old line.  They were trying so hard to keep the account as a family plan.  I am now paying almost $100 less on my cell phone bill!!!  I am so tempted to switch to Virgin mobile.  I know a couple people that have this and they are happy and they only pay $40 for unlimited messaging and data, and 1200 minutes (which is 1/2 of what I pay for At&t).  But I love my iPhone...which I would have to give up!!!  I know there's a way to "break into" iPhones so you can use them with any carrier...but I don't know how to do this.   

Ok...I will add one more thing here.  I am stuck for two weeks now.  No weight loss for two weeks.  I will have to work out this weekend for sure to make sure next Friday's weigh in goes well.

Well better get back to work...see you later 

 

Crystal,

Rob has tried a few different carriers and Virgin was one of them and hated it.  He had a hard time getting signal.....on many occasions.  Also, if you "jail break" your phone, you void your warrenty with Apple.  As of right now, you can only jail break it to T-Mobil and they stink too.  So if you jail break it and it needs service, Apple will tell you to buzz off.  You also won't get updates. 

Just more info for you!

I am stuck too....I feel your pain!  But you do do a much better job working out than I do!

Be sure that you check out the coverage maps for any company that you go with. In the areas that you drive or travel it might not work. Some plans are cheap and that is because they do not have the cell towers for their customers. You will encounter dead air and dropped calls. Do not go with the cheap service plans - they might be cheap because they do not have the equipment to support their total customers. You might think that it is not a big thing if I might not get reception in certain areas but it is a safety issue for a single woman . . . what if you could not call 911?

Stick with a larger carrier for the more extensive coverage. They might be more money but you get better reception. My Dave could give you the low down on some of the upstart companies as that is his line of business and he is very knowledgable on it.

also, when checking coverage, don't forget to check the Champaign area, in case you move there during your contract!!

Hey there!
I tried Virgin and hated it.....no coverage and htey were JERKS about dropping the service (it is pre-paid, after all).  I STILL got calls from them like a year after I dropped.

We just got phones for the kids for their birthdays....."Straight Talk".  They use the Verizon towers so the coverage is good.  $ 30.00 per month for 1000 min/1000 texts/300 mg data OR $45.00 unlimited everything.  So far, they love them.  I don't even have data on my phone, so they are spolied.
