The toad has turned into a prince...

Okay....


He was not really a toad...


But he was a wild child...


Really wild....


CarBbear and LDBoy's friends did not visit much...


And he was the reason....


But that was years ago...


He has grown....


Into a prince....


Or at least a candidate for one...


On the  B-W Homecoming  Court...


I had no clue there was such a thing as a Jacket Prince...


But I guess there is...


Congrats, G-Man.
Prince G-Man takes the pass...

Yay....

My new favorite show is back...

HIMYM season premier was Monday night....

I set my calendar to remind me...

But I ain't gonna lie...

I am technologically challenged when it comes to the whole cable box/tv hookup thingy....

Where are you when I need you G-Man?

Yeah - so I missed it....

But I am computer literate...

Oh yeah...

And a couple hours after show time...

Wait for it....

I suited up (in my pj's)...

And watched on my time...

And was not at all disappointed......

Thank you CBS....

It wasn't me....

As you may know if you have followed me ever....


I created, hosted, and maintained a few web sites for the local high school....


 While G-Man was a student there....


He is no longer a student there...


I transfered/canceled domains over the summer...


The track site has a new owner and is looking good...


The football site got a new name and new face and I canceled my domain...


All is well...


It's the moms' site that's the problem...


Again....


I cannot help it....


They did not want to keep the domain...


I did not want it any more...


So now it is parked....


Free....


Courtesy of Godaddy....


And their sponsors....


Yeah...


I got a call....

We are all virgins now....

And mobile virgins at that....

I had a family cell phone plan that was costing more than I wanted to spend...

G-Man was the culprit - I ain't gonna lie...

The kid averages over 30000 text messages a month and 5000 minutes and ....

Ok, maybe that is a slight exaggeration...

But he is spoiled...

For a while he was on a plan with his brother who bought him an Iphone and paid for the plan....

So when his brother moved to Belize and I had to put G-Man on my plan, he expected the same deal...

I love ya bud, but apparently not as much as your brother....

But grandma loved ya enought to give you enough Christmas money for a Droid (and a tattoo, but that was another post)...

Guilting me into chipping in for a a data package...

Yeah, CareBear and I were happy with sharing texts and minutes and owning phones that ...

Well just phones...that do what phones were made for...

There are cameras and computers to do the other stuff ....

And then a miracle happened...

A couple weeks ago, my phone stopped working in my house...

And outside my house....

I emailed and called (from the office - because the phone would not work from the house) Verizon....

I got the run around for a few weeks....

  • We were having network configuration issues in your area - but they are fixed....(apparently not)
  • Upgrade the software on your phone .... (did that)
  • Try another phone....(did that)
  • Give us a few weeks...(will not do that)
Bottom line is i got out of that f-in contract....

CareBear and I are pretty damn happy about that...

We are all on our own plans now....

Pay as you go...

No contracts...

Sorry G-Man....

But now I too have a phone with GPS so I do not lose myself on the way to your away games:)

You can surive on 1200 mins a month...

Or you can buy yourself some more minutes...

I still do not have service at the house....

Apparent the Alltel towers Verizon tore down affect more than their network....

But I have GPS...

And a much lower phone bill....
