well... i sad it so many times... i wont buy a cell phone. today i have one. one that works and which ive just successfully txtd convoed my eldst dghtr... much to her shock and amusement.

i didnt buy it though, like all my technology, i inherited it off said eldest daughter. and got the SIM card from my employment agency. apparently its advantageous to be contactable when one is seeking employment. the most important thing that as to be done after my daughter has deleted all her crap off it, is to find decent ringtones. im thinking something lous and obnoxious to make up for all those years i had to listen to 1 sided inane convos on the bus and train. and for all those people i thought were going crazy when all they were doing was talking on their cell. aah i miss crazy people talking to themselves in the city. decisions decisions. :think:

    Say it isn't so, catefrances. Looks like I'm the only hold out still standing... without a cell phone in his pocket. Guess I won't be receiving any more smoke signals from down under.

    well eyed... the govt says i need a job... i disagree knowing raising kids already is one... and so my employment agency says a cell phone is advantageous. and so i bite my lip and play along. do i feel ok?? no i dont. but its what needs to be done.

    no... the working people give you money so you can be there for your kids.... do your kids not go to school? get a job between 10am and 3pm...

    my wife has a job... is she not there for our kids?

    fucking lazy slackers in this world...

    yes i realise i'm using my highly paid government job to type out shit on a message board... if there's anything i love more than abusing lazy fuckers it's irony. :thumbup:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    so i see you think all people are the same dunk.

    i dont doubt your wife is there for your children. but i am not your wife. and im not here making excuses.. all i know is what i am capable of. the day to day rearing of my children falls to me. i dont count down the hours til my husband or partner can relieve me. so fuck you for the judgement.

    i had either 2 work phones and 1 personal phone
    or 2 personal phones and 1 work phone
    i can't remember

    i know i was on those things 24x7
    what a crock of shit
    i havent had a working cell in 2 years or longer
    i have never been happier

    how did truck drivers do their tasks back in the days of old?

    what age are your kids that you still have to rear them day to day? that stops when they go to school... what rearing can you do between 9am and 3pm when they are in a fucking school?

    what a joke.

    fuck off dunk... how dare you judge me... the only kids i know are mine.. and i know the community in which i live. it is my decision that my children require me to be there for them. the decisions i make for the well being of my children will not be based on the expectations of society... the same society that will judge me for my absence if my children get into trouble. be thankful you are a 2 parent household. cause i know that you know how diffcult that is.
