You done good ::pats you on back::. You may well have the building and the people who live there from being homeless.

After resisting longer than most I finally cracked and bought a pay as you go cell phone last summer. I really felt as if I'd been forced into it because apparently, generally available working pay phones have become a quaint anachronism. The last straw was when I was late for a volunteer assignment because I'd gone to the wrong location and needed to find out where I actually was supposed to be. So I'm driving around desparately looking for a pay phone and all I could find was one broken (or perhaps no longer maintained) payphone after another. It really pisses me off. I resent being forced into the expense of buying a gadget I'd happily do without. Next it will be HD TVs and digital cable and who knows what else...
