Delta! 992 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I do agree with that. I really do NOT want to have to listen to every ones own opinion about everything... just like I do not expect everyone to listen to my opinion about everything... Link to comment

Popular Post Spock 272 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hmm, when I lick the bowl I usually end up with whatever was in the bowl all over my nose. I always lick my plate though ... and usually my bowl as well. Must maintain my svelte figure. 2 Link to comment

Spock 272 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 No, I was looking at it the other day. While physically smaller than the iPhone 7 plus I have, the display area is larger. That's about the only 'advantage' that I would appreciate. The new phone doesn't really have anything that I absolutely must have. I don't use my current phone that often, why should I pay USD $1,149.00 for the basic phone when I already have more than I need? My current contract is up next month. I will probably bask under the reduced fees for a few months before looking at upgrading again, but will probably decide the same thing. As long as my current phone gives me what I need, why bother to upgrade? "A good pun is it's own reword." "A semicolon is not a medical condition." "The mind is like a parachute, it works better when it's open." "I'm a nobody. Nobody is perfect, therefore, I'm perfect!" "There and their, they're not the same." "No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery." "I thought growing old would take longer!" "You cannot hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life." "I'm trying to be independent, but no one will help me." Link to comment
gogoblender 3,185 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Iphone 7 + is grand... I got an iphone 6s last year as gift, parents, but I sorely miss your versions godd stuff like better waterproofing, lighter weight than mine, plus those amazing stereo speakers. I went swimming with my iphone this summer in the pool... painful lesson gogo Link to comment
