This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If you don't refill by the deadline, you lose unused minutes, right? Other than that, are there any issues? Like, I use up all my minutes. I don't buy any for a while. Then I buy some new minutes. Are my service/number still good, or does the phone have to be in constant usage?

Other than losing my unused minutes, I didn't have any problems when I forgot to refill them this month.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

They've declared martial law in Orleans Parish.

Look out for Barbeau-bots.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Now I use Virgin. I've been happy with it.

I think T-Mobile's pricing scheme is still the same. Virgin, as far as I can tell, insists that you buy minutes at least every 90 days, which I'm not thrilled with.

Silence means security silence means approval

Is the new tagline too long?

Also, could someone explain the difference between Bitches and Natter? What conversations go where?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Another vote for Virgin here, in spite of their sad lack of pink-clad bicycle boys.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Natter tends to have more talk about penguins. Natter and Bitches tend to be closer when it comes to cats, but I think Natter wins out there too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Natter is pretty much general conversation.

Bitches is often more personal and also pornier.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It'll let you know if it's too long by not displaying all of it.

Bitches vs. Natter: I think the key thing to remember about Bitches is that there isn't so much a thing as TMI, so there tends to be more personal issues talked about and bitching happening about than in Natter, which, on the whole, tends to more general-audience discussion. If I wanted to complain about my roommates, I'd go to bitches. If I wanted to comment on the dinner one of them just cooked me, its culinary value, and its place in the spectrum of ethnic food, I'd come here. They don't always stay like that, of course.

Sorry, I assumed someone would chime in with a usefull post.

Bitches is like Natter, except more porn, and more personal stuff that might otherwise be TMI.

Also, porn.

eta: OK, I should have waited just a bit longer....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Dana, if you go with Virgin, there's a $20 referral bonus for a friend available.

My decision to go with Virgin was that I use under 100 minutes a month usually, but more than 0, so $20 worth in 90 days (at $.10/min) is more than reachable. It's not a contract, so I could switch over to something else if I suddenly develop a long-distance relationship or whatever.
