well I wouldn't mind something like that. Last I checked you had to renew them every month. Walmarts?

I'm a big spender. I spend $35 a month with unlimited calling and texting and can use a lot of data if I needed too. I don't need data anymore now but rarely. Sometimes I do connect a tablet to it so I have a bigger screen for looking at a map when traveling.

Thank you! She'll be okay. We've all had it more than once through the years. The white patches on the tonsils are diagnostic so you go in and get a Rx for amoxicillin and you're good to go. Always feels like razor blades in the throat to me. GC never even spikes a fever when she gets it. I do and also ache all over. Haven't had it years. Hope she keeps it to herself, lol!

Oh, I hope you don't get it! You've all gotten it several times? Wow.

I got strep one winter when I was 15 and we were in a homeless shelter in Ohio.
The free clinic Doc didn't really look at me but proclaimed it was allergies and I would need saline nasal spray. Oookay.
So a week later I lost my voice completely. Was sleeping all day except to potty. Another week of sleep and my mom was wanting to take me to the hospital... but the shelter directors were strict catholic ladies who required all the mothers to keep the work schedule at the temp agency and she was so tired every night.
Then one of the staff shares that she's been sick too with strep throat and has been on antibiotics for a week, and a lot of the kids were getting it. Mom and I looked at each other like, "Why couldn't she have shared that sooner?"

On one of our trips back to FL we stopped at a roadside park that had a plaque about the New Madrid Fault and supposedly we were right on top of it. I remember reading about the Mississippi River changing courses after the big quake there.

My understanding is the water ran backward for a bit but then resumed its normal flow. Like a tsunsmi does.

What they said. Just get new ones when you're about to run out. And yes I think WM has them but also I think Dol Gen does too and places like that.

Finally time I can take those crazy meds...

cell phones seldom work here at the house.

A phone like that could literally be a real life saver for you, Granny.

We use ours the most when out on the road. We do have a landline too.

I'm so sorry you had to live like that.
