I'm going to ask a rhetorical question: Why do we bother with cellphones?
I know already, don't answer that.
As U al can tell (both of U reading this...) that I've spent the better part of the day at the cellphone store. My old phone (barely a yr old) stopped holding a charge so I tooled on down to the store to purchase a new battery. To my chagrin that particular model of phone is no longer mfg'd and replacement batteries are obsolete; thus my journey to a new phone. Needless to say, I walked away with 4 phones in total (one for me and one for Venus and two for the 3 kids to share) and a whole new family package deal that has stuff included that I don't even think I'll ever use. Sheesh, what ever happened to sending smoke signals???
