I just want to say here that our local carrier has a copy of my dtrs text msgng bill posted so any prospective parents who think the low cheap plan will suffice will see what happens when texting is put into the hands of a teen. Thank goodness we have unlimited texting. Here's my Aug. breakdown for my dtr's phone:
IN TXT - 16,634 messages
IN PIX - 138
TXT/PIX - 151
Sept. breakdown:
IN TXT - 16,500 messages
IN PIX - 371
TXT/PIX - 53
That's why I wish I could live before cell phones were ever invented!!!!!

Yes she does, believe it or not, she can text with the phone in one hand and do something else with the other. I don't even know how to text. Give me an old big black phone with a curly cord holding the receiver to the base and a dial to turn. Oh, I should add, I can't read the texts, they are all in in abbreviations and codes, so a long message is a short text. I am just waiting to see what kind of ailments will afflict the youngster of today as they get older: arthritus of the thumb, carpel tunnell in the fingers, who knows what else. Look at all the problems computers have caused.
