I was a bit put off by the new pricing. It's quite an increase. I'm glad I have the old 20 GB plan, but I can never change it or it's gone forever. I just hope I never need more than 20 GB :)

Chances are you're more likely to be asked if you're a guest and if not kicked out if you're lounging in their lobby too long.

I use [is.gd] fairly regularly. Particularly when sharing Boston Globe articles. http://www.boston.com/Boston/politic… becomes http://is.gd/RAdxlr

We put aside $300/mo as a 'home owners maintenance fee'. Last year that paid for a new roof. This year we're refinishing the floors and refurbishing the kitchen, plus some painting.

You should look at having your thyroid checked. Do a Google on hyperthyroidism or Graves Disease or Hashimotos to see why.

The metabolism issue is mis-named. Basal rate is different than thyroid issues which controls your actual metabolism. If you have a thyroid problem and you're not generating enough T3/T4/TSH, you will have weight gain. Recently raising my medications has had a significant impact on my weight loss, which was…

Not only will this be taken away, but Verizon is already auditing accounts that attempted this while active. See the Consumerist article already posted.

I work from home when it snows. Can we have one that lets you sleep an hour longer? :-)
