Not yet. It was up to about 92 a week and a half ago, then dropped to high 60's... it's coming back up now. Supposed to be mid to high 90s this week.

I deleted FB when people I knew in middle school and high school who were complete a$$holes to me and/or friends of mine started requesting to be my friend. I was like, we hated each other, wtf is wrong with you. If you're going to make amends for $hit you did as a kid (I'm not one to hold a grudge unless it's very well deserved), you better do it in person if you want any credit. Not that any of them ever said anything about the ridiculous way they acted when we last interacted. No thank you - I will go away now.

I don't have G+, but for FB, I only have people I know, or Z Peeps on FB cause I talk to you guys on here. So I "sort-of" know you.

But I did try at one point talking to some people from HS and after about 5 mins, I was like why am I doing this? If I really cared about that person, we'd already be talking...

So that didn't last long.

Fun stuff. I do say it was always hot as balls there, but it did keep the bugs at bay. I do hate having to scrape off my windshield after every drive.

However, in AZ it was the rocks. So I dunno if it's really an "improvement"

Evening all

Went to a going away party for a good friend of ours, and it happened to be vintage bike night at the Draught House

Left the wife to have fun and headed home early (I'll go pick her up later), and on the way home I had cruise at 70 in a 60, passed a motorcycle going below the speed limit, who a few moments later, roared passed me at well over 100

that's fun and all, but just not the place...

I actually find it quite humorous when I don't know about an event until last minute, and people will try to tell me I had no excuse cause they sent me a reminder on FB. ORLY?!? And I usually try to give them a look like "FaceBook" is some horrific sounding foreign language.

So... do you have a smartphone? Or one of those old flip-phones too?

I remember those.

Oh wait, you mean a real brick? With hand written note taped to it?

Would that still be considered a text message?

lol I have an iPhone... and I hate Apple. So it has to be jailbroken, and I refuse to use the cloud or iTunes. I think I might hate AT&T more, but I've got the grandfathered unlimited plan still. Since I use a good bit of data via phone tethering, I really don't want to change plans.

I'm in the same boat. I have a grandfathered unlimited Data plan for Verizon, so unless I wanna start a new contract (fuq that) I have to buy new phones at retail price.

iPhone 5 is $300.

AT&T lets me upgrade my phone and start a new 2 yr contract w/o altering my plan structure. I had good experience with Verizon years ago and want to switch back, but I think all cell phone companies just plain suck.

Uh, iPhone 5 is $600 for the 16GB. $825 after tax for the 32GB here in Phx. (yeah, that's what I bought, 0% interest for 12mos though).

Or did they drop the price after I bought it? I usually tend to drive prices down once I buy something.

I just bought an iPhone back in Jan.

I'm not a huge fan of Apple, but I was having nothing but issues with my HTC Android (yeah, probably an HTC issue and not Android), but also didn't want to get stuck in the "you have an 'old' phone, so we're not going to update your Android OS to the latest."

I had to pay full price for my iPhone to keep my Verizon unlimited data though. They stuck it right here:
