Smartphones - I run a total and complete ban policy regarding smartphones. Will not get one now, nor anytime in the future. I have a WLAN tablet, with a map application. It works via passive GPS and stored offline map data. No Google service allowed that go beyond what I inevitably have to accept when running Android - and that already is much more than what would be needed to operate a tablet.

Google & Co suck.
Many thing google does makes the life easer.
Yes it comes at the price of privacy because there is no other way.
Many people actually like it this way.

The solution against it if you are hardcore is rooting the phone and installing ROM/OS with no google app.
Not very difficult to do.

My solution is much, much easier.

Prepayed. Nice ruby red colour. Unbeatable price. Almost always switched off.

Yes - a better life still is possible. Although they try hard to mess it up.

True, but some of us are more than willing to meet each other face-to-face, vouch for each other, post pictures that are verified by others, including pictures taken together, and communicate from time to time by means other than the internet. On the other hand some of us seem afraid to meet other members, no matter how many times they're asked.

Who should you trust more?

LOL I should have figured that was coming. I could give you a dozen excuses of why not, ranging from having purchased a home somewhere north of Santaquin, to a 3 week baby girl sleeping in the room next door. My overall point would be, that I've been really busy. I wish life came with a pause button.

On that we agree completely. It's been a long time since I had a three-week-old anything. My complaint is the opposite - mine are grown and gone and don't talk to me anymore.

You came at me and I came back. Whatever we may say I'd still like to get together sometime. I do have a car now so it can be on your terms. :sunny:

Been doing that while here in California.

I wish I could snap my fingers and have that 3 week old be 3 years old so we can start potty training. I hate diapers. Everyone says, "every moment is precious, enjoy it", i find myself disagreeing. And then there's the evening/nighly fussy periods. It's just straight up "Angry baby" time from 6 PM to midnight to 1AM. NOT FUN.

Yes and no. I'm just tired of the profanity policing. Sometimes I'm thinking, "He must make it his business to tell others how to talk!!" which gets me all angsty so then i start pushing back on the subject.

We would have to meet in Orem or American Fork. I am NOT driving to salt lake city. For one the inversion there is .. oh wait... winter in the bowl is about over now. Ok, well for two, I'd just get lost there, and for three, I'm lazy. When? I have no idea. It's hard enough right now just finding enough time to take out the freaking trash.

Well, when you can make time for lunch, PM me. :sunny:

Maybe this Saturday. I got a bonus from work and figured i'd do a little shopping in Orem at the LGS. Already cleared the excursion with the wife. I'll be on a time crunch though, I'll have two or three stops ill have to make, and probably shouldn't be gone longer then 3 hours else i may incur the wrath of wife.

Most times are good for me.
