Would be nice. Me, my wife, and 3 kids. Business expense, just incase I can’t be reached for an alarm call they van get my kids.

I don’t have a hotspot or data watch myself.

I've never checked into a bundle on the cut rate carrier. They send me info, but my wife is married to Verizon and demands to pay a premium to have it.

Good golly, they warned us about her pain but the post tonsillectomy rancid breath is something else.

Not exactly sure.

My adult kids like it because it’s a free phone. They want me to switch companies so I can get a phone upgrade for them also

Lew is driving like a bat outta hell, it's hard to see in the dark, and I'm NOT going to proof read!
How I now picture @Lew.

Someday I will dig up the picture we have of him - carrot hair & beard, each long enough that they could tie the ends between his legs. He hated helmets and never wore them, so this picture was taken on a ride out west with his brothers, hair & beard wildly tangled, with this maniacal grin on his face.

We have often said that if we had met in our 20s neither of us would have given the other the time of day. Meeting in our late 30s seems to have worked, as both of us were different people from what we were as our younger selves. :D

Fun fact: We met 2015 at a tailgate before the game in Arlington - also CycloneDave. Both of them approached us because they heard me say Lew. With my description and his name being outed all over CF, we're pretty easy to pick out. :D

Feeling somewhat better today. My daughter was away this weekend and we had to watch her dog Leo. I think I mentioned it before but he has stomach cancer that spread to his brain. Poor buddy. He whines and barks a lot because of his pain. Very traumatic. He is also on seizure medication. I stayed up with him all night Thursday, Friday and Saturday just in case he had one.

I have been there with severely ill pets, some elderly, some not. At some point, if the pet is in constant pain with no hope for recovery to a more normal life, you have to ask yourself if you are keeping the pet alive for their sake, or for yours. Sometimes the best love you can show them is to let them go. Would your daughter be open to a conversation like that?

Appreciate your thoughts and input. We have discussed it and she is receptive and understanding. Just feels now is not quite the time and I agree and appreciate her perspective. She is very bonded with Leo. She was involved with Forever Home Dog Rescue for a stint and fostered Leo and then adopted him. She even drove to Davenport to rescue him from a kill shelter. It is a difficult time but we are together as a family to get through it. It's never easy saying goodbye to your fur babies. They provide so much love and enjoyment.
