also, unless you work from home-internet is not a have too item. (neither is cable). You can access it free from the library also, and in some areas, even the park deparment or public schools have a place for the public to get on line at no charge. It does keep it easier to keep in touch with family though--but, you can send a heck of a lot of <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.qklinkserver.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=&k=post%20cards" onmouseover="window.status='post cards'">post cards</a> with the money you pay for internet and cable. I love my <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.qklinkserver.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=&k=cell%20phone" onmouseover="window.status='cell phone'">cell phone</a>. $29 a month, and all long distance I make is free, all calls are free, as long as i don't go over my 2500 day time minutes and unlimited nights....

I did not think of asking if they have the VCRs thanks I will check. Awesome deal on the cellphone I have a prepaid which is all I need cause it is just for emergencies for when my dh needs to get ahold of me when I am out of the house. which is rare (the emergencies pare LOL) but I make $20 worth of mins last alittle over 3 months. I also got an awesome deal I waited til last min (litterally the next day my mins were about to expire) and they offered a double your mins thing if I bought off the internet plus I am still in the 2 yr bonus plan from when I got my phone so I got an extra 30 mins free ok so here it is broke down I paid $21 and some change (taxes) for a 40 min card and they gave me 40 mins free plus my bonus 30 mins so a total of 110 mins for only the $20 something I paid and knowing me it will continue over when I buy more mins when my phone expires in August It comes in handy like yesterday it was pouring and I got stuck at the store so I just called my husband's friend to come pick me up since he is using OUR van for free. I just bribed him with an icecream cone (bought a box for the kids for behaving it is a rare treat)
