I'm similarly lucky, sarameg, as my niece and nephew are good company, and doing dishes here garners me thanks, instead of just the needed clean knives that prompt it at home.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

He just can't believe there are cost-effective ways to have cellphones.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The minutes do expire, but when you add more the old ones are extended as well -- basically, when you add time you are adding minutes and extending the expiration date for all your minutes.
You have to buy new service time before the old service time runs out in order to keep your old minutes. Also, if you let the service time run out, you may lose your phone number if/when you do buy more.

Possibly. Most probably, he's on the side of the rich thing.

Speaking of Theo, has anybody heard from her lately?
