Beer and cell phones

Dan loved his first day at his new job and said that it was "awesome!" One of the comments about his day that he made was that they got to wear really cool coveralls. I'm not sure what makes them so cool but whatever makes him happy about the new job ; ) He gets to bring home a free case of beer per week and also gets a discount on kegs and beer. I have a feeling that we will be drinking a lot of magic hat... If any of you are around the area and want to throw a party, let me know and I'm sure Dan can hook you up ; ) He also got his new phone yesterday which I'm so excited about. No more of me texting his friends to see where he is so I can try to meet up with him, and no more excuses for him not contacting me! 
There was a short period of time that neither one of us had a cell phone. It was a very short time. Three day short. While it was a little liberating to think that I had no obligations to talk to anyone, it was also a little nerve-wracking to think that while I had this freedom, in emergencies, I couldn't be reached and I couldn't reach anyone else. We had no phone, no internet and no cell phone. Pretty primitive for today's standards. Now we both have phones that are linked to the internet as well so not only are we reached at all times (as long as we have service) by phone number but by instant messaging and by email as well. Dan put it as having a little computer always with you : )

We have to get a new cell phone plan pretty soon. I'm not sure which company we're going to go for this time. Any suggestions? ;)

Well I'd have to say that Sprint (the one we have now) impressed me by giving me a loaner phone, for free, for over a month while I was waiting for my new phone to come in. And I didn't even pay for my new phone yet, and didn't have a previous account with them.
