I'm kinda hoping apple redesigns the iphone with a larger screen for the next gen iphone. Their current screen is smaller than most others. They need to make their screen larger.

Good evening everyone. It's been an up and down day for me. I spent the morning with Susan and the girls. We went into the jewelry stores and I bought Susan her engagement ring today. I put it on layaway. Dam those things got expensive. The last time I bought one was thirty years ago and I spent hundreds of dollars. Today the down payment was more than I paid for the first one which is in the thousands. It was overdue and Susan is happy. I left for work after that. It usually takes me about forty minutes to get to work. Today it took about two and a half hours. I was an hour and a half late for work. There is a wild fire burning just off of Disney property. I-4 was closed because of it and also all of the secondary roads I would have used. It sucks to be on the interstate when you can walk faster than you can drive. Fortunately I called in late and I wasn't the only one late so everyone understood.
Lou it is good that you are going to wait on your new phone. I hear that the I-phone 5 is coming out either late summer or in the fall. Production is said to start next week on it.

That's what we did when she got it stuck in a snow-bank. 6 of us just picked it up and moved it

Hi Rick I don't have a desk job. Yes I work in the tech department at my job. But it's a "tech" job in the same sense that mechanics are called techs now. My job is mostly physical work. I injured my back lifting a really heavy container the wrong way, about 12 years ago. Most of the time, the pain is tolerable. But occasionally part of my daily routine aggrivates it, and I'm in a lot of pain. To the point it's sometimes hard to stand up straight. I've found the only way to ease the pain is to lay flat. I don't take pain killers. Don't want to get addicted to them. So I try my best to live through the pain.

Nope, horizon is 3 speed auto. The car used to belong to my grandmother and when she passed away i ended up with the car. At the time everything on it was original and it was to become my DD. So i had tons of parts replaced, tires, brakes shocks etc etc. It was repainted, couple interior ulphostery things fixed up. And for the longest time it was my DD until i got the monte. I got alot of compliments (mainly from older people, kids think its stupid and sucks) To me its my classic car, close enough being from 1989. But you never see these cars anymore, its my first car, the one i learned to drive on and took my road test in(Parallel parking supereasy) and to be honest i could never sell it, its not the prettiest, its not the fastest but i love it

My lesson with my uncle went pretty decent, i did a bit worse than i thought it would. He decided to stick me on a hill for my starting, after plenty of stalling i eventually picked up on it, he tought me a few tricks na i'll probably go back for another lesson. Now to sit here and do homework

Evenin guys. Home from the cruise in now. Had about 400 cars if I had to guess. So I'm gonna have a beer or two. Probably going to get to bed at a decent time so I can get up and get the Camaro running before it gets too hot tomorrow.
