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.

The Times-Picayune and the propaganda division of the GOP, oops, FoxNews are reporting that water is now entering the French Quarter.

Hope they get those monster sandbags in place soon.

ita-

I have an alarm clock which cares about days of the weeks, but it was a present. It is not ugly, but it is also a CD player.

Unfortunately, I have no idea where he got it. I was thinking Sharper Image, but it doesn't appear to be there.

Wherever he purchased it, he also got a poker set and some sort of magnifying glass thing, because he bought all of our presents at the same place.

I've never had a dropped call on Virgin. But then again, I average about $7 a month in usage.

Beau and I share a family plan. And if left to his own devices, he could talk the ears off 5 cows. I am thinking Virgin Mobile is not the plan for us.

Sophia, does it have a brand label on it anywhere?

The water is rising fast:

Reporters said there was waist-high water round the Superdome, the huge covered football stadium near downtown New Orleans that had been used as an emergency evacuation center for thousands of residents.

An 11:15 AP story had it at knee-deep.

Good idea! I can look when I get home, but there is none in my memory! I'll try and let ita know if I find one!
