Verizon vs AT&T
It is time to get a new phone..... I hate to make decisions that have to last for 2 years!!!! Why can't I buy a phone (CHEAPER) and not have to sell my soul to the devil. A 2 year contract??? Lots can happen in 2 years. You can have a baby and a half in two years!!! That is a whole human life being formed!!!! What if I have bad service, and the calls drop all the time? Or what if the phone starts pooping out on me? What if I move to China or get hit by a bus or struck by lightning??? UGH! Then there is the matter of the phone itself.... Too many to choose from and I want hi-tech without being complicated! So now what?

Oklahoma Weather
These were taken in Piedmont by my friend Carlen... right after it was over.
Being from Oklahoma, I am use to Tornado's popping up... but last night we had so many tornado's in our area, it was scary. The weathermen on all the channels were telling us to get our butts in gear and get a plan together. They said it wasn't 'IF' we would had a tornado, but 'WHERE' and 'how many' and 'how strong'. They were right... I came home early and fixed dinner so we wouldn't be starving as the storms unfolded. Our time line for the storms to reach us was set for 5 - 7. I picked up Matthew early from school because the weatherman was saying it would be best if everyone was home by 5, called Tanner and got with him on a plan to come here when he got off work at 4, and Dennis got off work at 3... I already had my bag packed with the radio and the flashlights... ipod, kindle... all the IMPORTANT stuff - lol! I was on schedule and about to serve Dinner at 4:00 when the first tornado sirens went off... We gather up the dogs and our gear... called friends to tell them to meet up there and Tanner to tell him not to come after all... We went up to the Stage Door and sat with a lot of other people and their dogs for the next 2 hours. Wasn't too bad... but being new here... the weatherman kept saying "Tornado crossing Mile marker 80" and I had no idea where that was. Tanner text me and told me he was save in the volt at work and after the storm left us and headed for Stillwater, Katie text from Stillwater and said she was safe and in a church basement with friends. There are people missing still. A 3 year old boy named Ryan was ripped out of his moms arms and they still have not found him. A horse landed in someones pool... and he survived. Bark is completely off the trees and the grass looks plowed. I hope whatever weather condition enabled that massive out break doesn't happen again any time soon. We have an appointment for an estimate for a cellar lined up in the next couple of weeks!

I wonder
Sometimes I wonder if anything is absolute anymore. Is there still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable, left to interpretation, gray? Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth? to transform it because we are faced with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes, things simply catch up with us
Customer Service.... where is it today?
I want to know where customer service is? I long for the days when I went to the grocery store and bought $150 worth of food and had some help carrying it out! Now I am wrestling around with this stupid cart and the wind and all the bags and where to put it! I understand that businessess are trying to save money... but at the cost of helping the customer? Why don't they fire those workers that are sitting around talking about un related work matters while the customer struggles with 3 kids and a large cart full of groceries? Cracks me up when they ask... "Do you want help out with this?" DUH you dumb a$$!!!! Then you have the buggys that are everywhere outside that are slamming into everyones car. Well... I can tell you that if I every found a store that offers customer service... I will shop there instead of any big named store... cause you can't put a price tag on being nice and helpful to those who are doing business with you.
