Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

Whoa, Stephanie, I didn't know that. What bank do you use? Does it save you from having to physically deposit the check ever?

Trust my rage

I use USAA and yes, I just write VOID on the check, save it just in case for a few weeks, and then rip it up later. It's cool because our bank is in Texas so otherwise, all deposits are sent by mail.

I used 137,878 MB of data last month and only 387 minutes.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My Treo was the first phone I had with a halfway decent browser, and I spent over $100 in data charges the first month I had it. (At which point I switched over to the unlimited data plan.) I don't think at this point I could go back to a non-smartphone.

This is the phone Mr. Jane got me for my birthday. I lurvs it. Its name is Marvin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My Nokia e61i isn't the smartest of smartphones (and it's certainly not cool), but I have the unlimited data plan and the minimum minutes, and that's about how I use it. I wish it had more memory and a better browser, but not quite enough to go shopping for a new phone. I have OS and carrier issues.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

See, having my phone has totally changed the way I live. I'm always a little shocked to look at my phone bill and see just how much data I use in a month.

Oh, I'm sure. Once you have one, you use it all the time and find new ways to use it. It's like how I can't imagine not having a cell phone at all now even though I went all through college without one.

Speaking of my phone, I discovered that I can now deposit money in my checking account with an iPhone app. I just take a picture of the front and back of the check and the money is deposited instantly.

That is way cool! It's an extension of the new ATMs that can just eat your check and read the amount on it magically, saving you from having to deal with deposit slips and tellers.

I'd rather take a picture of the check and have the iPhone spit out the cash.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Mmm, noodles. (My mom was ordering Chinese food, and I asked for rice noodles with sesame sauce. She didn't know whether I meant the wide rice noodles or the skinny ones, so she got an order of each.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I have no intention of paying twenty to thirty bucks more a month for a data plan, I don't need one of those fancy-schmancy phones with the Internet inside them.
I think that's English, but I don't quite understand the words. I was hesitant to get the iPhone. But the level of frustration in syncing contacts from an Apple was high, so I bit the bullet and did it. Life is all different now. I can't imagine not having e-mail on my hip. And all the cool apps. Heaven.

That would be awesome. But also bad.
