above all Pamy, spend the extra money and get the wireless for the internet. you'll be glad you did later. I so wish I had that function. and I'd go to Best Buy to have a choice selection.

Sia, we've had Verizon for a few years. Several of the phones have received updates at the store (for free). On the oldest phone, I used to get updates just by calling them. The updates do something to the phone to make it better/faster or whatever.

We have received excellent customer service over the phone and in 2 of the Verizon stores...not so much at the kiosk that was in Circuit City a few yrs. ago...although they did direct us to the closet actual Verizon store once for something they couldn't help us with.

Costa, maybe Verizon doesn't use sim cards for blackberries...but I'm pretty sure (not 100% though) that my mom's Verizon phone has a sim card. She got that particular phone so she could use it on vacation in Europe.

Happy, I dunno. My RaZR didn't have a SIM either. My AT&T BB does, my Verizon doesn't.

What does the blu-ray wireless allow you to do?

I handle the cell phone purchases for our company, and we use Verizon Wireless. We've never had a VW phone with a SIM card. It didn't matter on the device maker either. Nokia, Motorola, LG, etc, none of them had the SIM.

But our salesmen rarely leave the country, so that may be a reason why your mom has a SIM in hers, Happy.

blu-ray wireless allows you to use netflix or other services for instant play movies or TV series. we don't have wireless, and i would need a 50' internet cord from the blu-ray player to the router if I was to use that feature we have on our player. Instead we waited for it to be available for the Wii and are using that instead. Not as good as if it was through the B-R player, cuz we'd have 1080p instead of 480p

skateboarding and music in one! I heard of it back when Holly was finishing high school. She liked the skateboarders, and the music was loud she said.

Texannie, I just get pics from the TV the hard way. I play the show, pause the DVR on the scene I want to take a pic of, take a pic of it with my digital camera, then go from there.

If you don't have the tools to do that, tell me when she's on (and a description of her), and I'll try to capture it for you.

My 17 year old is going this year :-(. She's been to one concert in her life and that was Brad Paisley, which is probably more tame than the Warped Tour.

Yes, Cost, that's her. I have googled that link and other sources. (just misspelled her name in my post) Like I said, the pics I found on the QVC website and google don't have her current style.
Who, I am very low tech LOL I don't even have a DVR.
Thanks though!!

Escapee, we are having massive rains from Hurricane Alex so she isn't going this weekend! yea!!!

Texannie, If you know how to do a screen capture on your computer, you can watch her live online at the qvc website and get the capture yourself. The easiest way if you're on windows xp would be to just hit your "print screen" button on your keyboard at the point they are showing her close-up, then open up paint or something similar and paste in the image, crop and save it.

If you have a newer windows, you can use your "snipping tool" that is built into some versions of vista and all versions of windows 7 to easily grab a capture.

Really, it's very easy to do. The only thing that should be holding you back from trying it all by yourself is if you are on dial-up and can't play the QVC online broadcast.

Very serious question:

I rec'd a phone call from my mom a few days ago with the news that my brother is having very serious marriage problems and although they are going to try counselling, a divorce seems inevitable at this point. She also told me the main issue they are having (sigh). While we are talking I can hear my father in the background spitting fire towards my SIL and her parents (my bro asked her to move out and she is staying with her parents who are apparently coaching her on how to get the most out of a divorce while my parents have been urging an attempt at reconciliation). I told my mom that with her and my dad so very angry at SIL I would tell bro to just go ahead and get divorced, don't even try to work it out because even if they do the marriage won't last with our family being so hostile and unforgiving. I told them if DH and I ever divorce they will get a phone call that tells them so and ends with... "and I don't want to talk about it." Whatever SIL did she is still my kids aunt whatever happens to the marriage and the mother of my nephews. I have decided NOT to tell hubby and my girls what happened so they won't add to her demonization. DH is NOT HAPPY about this LOL and although he admits there is no benefit to his knowing (and agrees with me that my parents and myself should not know either) he is still pushing me to tell.

I will not be telling, at the least until I find out if my brother can fix his marriage but I would love some input from others. Should family be discussing these issues (as my mother says... so we can support my brother) or should the specifics be kept between the couple at least until the marriage is 100% over? I am feeling guilty keeping a secret from hubby but feel very strongly that it's the right thing to do in the event the marriage is repaired.

I think you can support your brother without going into all the 'gory' details. Wouldn't your family support your brother regardless?

Oh absolutely Tex!! Very close family. Trouble now is that because one person knows (ahem.. my mother) she feels EVERYONE should know. Apparently she has been in the loop for months now and I think it's killing her to be deceptive (the way she sees it, not me) to the rest of us. At this point I think hubby sees it as the genie is out of the bottle so why should he not be in the loop too. LOL IMHO bro should have kept details to himself but I won't be telling him that as it would seem like kicking him when he's down and it's too late anyway. I just wish I could get them to stop talking about it now, better late than never!!
