Nope. In all my years using a blackberry and iPhone, I have never once had that need. Actually, there was that one time at a diner I was arguing with a friend over when "Whoop There It Is" came out, but otherwise I've never needed it. In all seriousness, that is a pretty weak angle by ATT to try to keep their customers. I did read this week that Verizon is killing their unlimited data package soon. Heather was able to get that and grandfathered in for the length of her contract. It was actually the ONLY data option for the iPhone so it might have been cheaper if we could drop down to a lower data plan. I have another friend that was considering going to Virgin Mobile for no contract and like $50 a month Unlimited everything or something. Coverage was a concern though. Ha-Ha. Nope.

But I'm still on the fence to whether I'll get one or not. Has Heather had any problems with not being able to use the internet while talking on the phone?

Has Heather had any problems with not being able to use the internet while talking on the phone?

For what it's worth, Heather has a Verizon iPhone and I've got ATT. It's been a nice side by side test of the two networks. So far both networks have been strong with little difference between the two. Our bill would be cheaper if we were both on Verizon but I would need to cancel my contract which, right now, isn't worth it. One interesting thing is if we're in a large crowd (like the fireworks the other night) where people are all on their phones, ATT goes bad real quick due to the drain on the network. I couldn't get a signal but her Verizon was strong. We were both strong in OBX with ATT being a little better in some spots. This is mostly Ohio. Not sure how that relates to Nashville. I know I had terrible coverage at the half marathon. She didn't have her iPhone then. Great points. For what it’s worth, Heather has a Verizon iPhone and I’ve got ATT.

The story about the person with Cancer that changed the entire group of people that they met was awesome. Max gets it right every time. One of my favorite books by Max.

I guess you have a good point with judging an artist on only one song. I have not heard her other songs, so I really shouldn't judge her too badly on this one song. And I'm ok with some of the lighter songs, as you talked about before, by my fear is that one day all of the songs will become that way, and those songs with deeper meanings will soon begin to disappear. Maybe finding a good balance is what we need? Thanks for your comment Bruce.
