“T-Mobile Adds Unwanted Data Plan to All Accounts”

Monday, November 14th, 2011

I finally joined the masses and got a smartphone this past January.  After two months of the unlimited data plan, I realized that I didn't need it; it wasn't worth the added expense just so I could check Facebook while riding the bus.  I canceled my data plan and just use wi-fi whenever I need ...

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Warning: ranting and winding ahead.  Proceed with caution. One of my favorite scented candles, a large Yankee Candle in "Macintosh," is down to half an inch.  I decided to try and find another high quality but less expensive brand, and based on the suggestion of a friend, went to Walgreens tonight to try the Patriot Candles ...
