Too bad it requires having a Google+ account. If I had one, I'd make good use of this. But it's hard for those of us who can't or don't want to have a social networking account of any kind.

As if I needed another reason not to trust a flexible spending account. Thank you for letting us know of this.

Yeah, you guys also have a love of hockey, a lower legal drinking age, and a healthcare system that is alot better than the one we have here. I've been to Canada several times, I live in SE Michigan about 20 minutes away from the bridge.

Am I the only one who is glad they've had a crappy job that doesn't require attendence at these or any other sort of office functions? I see my coworkers enough when I'm at work, so I have to give them my precious time off too? No thanks.

I've always tried to look at that glass analogy from two perspectives, the realistic one: There's only half of what could be in there and I need a refill, or Life is only giving me half of what it could, I require more out of it.

Best time to buy a TV, at least I can attest to TVs, is during Super Bowl sales. I got my Insignia at Best Buy after I had just gotten my income tax check, was a $500-600 TV for $300. Its an LED 36-40".

Thanks, but I don't know if it is going to. Such is the story of my life.

You may not really have the option to not burn a bridge. Within the last couple years, prior to the job I have now 2 out of the last 3 jobs I have, I turned in a 2 week notice, and I was let go either the same day, or the very next day.

It also depends on your current employer and what kind of environment they have there as well. Earlier this year, I was working for a temp service on a permanent assignment. I started there in Nov. '12 on this assignment and was happy to take the job because it was in a low volume call center, located only about 10…

I'm going to be trying my hand at this probably around tax time. I had hoped to have the funds together by now, to give myself something for XMas, but it's having to wait. I'm sure I will do ok, I just hope my dying laptop can hold out until then.

Yeah, I agree with you, but I also think we've reached that point and the amount of distractions will increase from here on out and noone will be aware of anything going on right in front of them.

Yeah, I get that from you that you use it responsibly. I myself only look at my phone screen to skip to the next song on my music app. But I hold the phone up so I can at least see the road when I do so. We are a minority.

However, I also wish I made enough where I could afford to donate 72k a year. It must be nice. But it is good to know that there are people like this in such a dismal world we live in.

I'd say for accessory things, watches, wristbands, jewelry, etc, it's a great idea, particularly fulfilling a need in some places, I can see this really catching on in remote parts of the world, especially when the tech becomes next to nothing as far as production costs go.

Yeah that's be about $5 more a month than what I pay currently for MetroPCS. I'll just stick with them. Appreciate the info though.

I'm still waiting for more $1 a month or $10-12 a year specials on XBL. It's a waste of money otherwise.

They throttle you after 250MB in Long Island? I didn't realize the amount of data provided was different by region. I have MetroPCS in SE Michigan and I get 500MB of 4G data here along with the unlimited talk and text for $40. I wonder what gives....

Honestly, if I had no need for a Smartphone, I'd go back to StraightTalk in a heartbeat. Other than having to walk into a WalMart for a StraightTalk card, they were the best service I have ever had with a prepaid carrier. I miss using them, but they don't allow streaming audio/video on their service.

I had Virgin Mobile. They were the absolute worst of all the prepaid carriers that I have dealt with. I left them about a year a half ago for MetroPCS and haven't looked back.
