so we'll need to switch to Verizon cause there's no USC service in our house, which is ok cause we probably were going to anyway. Now I see they are doing a fun new blue color in the Samsung phone but no one has it yet. Hopefully by the time I want that phone cause it is pretty.

Really? The only spot in Wisconsin I can´t get reception is a couple spots near South Wayne I think.

Battery life is decent, camera is really good (imo) & I like the interface. Everything is quick to load. The only downfall is not being able to put an sd card in. The fast charger is pretty darn fast too.


define decent, because that's my biggest gripe now. I have a few apps on there (but not as much as I'd use going forward cause some are incompatible right now) but a couple phone calls, text messages, and an hour of Pandora and I'm done.

it's really weird because the guys working on the house have said the same thing. Outside the house? Fine. Inside? Dead zone. DH and I were there yesterday - I could text/email fine. I tried calling him and it took a while to start ringing, but it never rang on his end standing 10 ft away. Just a really odd dead zone right in our spot. And we had checked when it was just a lot and service was ok. But having the structure there it just can't get through. I've looked at coverage maps for multiple ones and the houses up the next block have like 3G and ours is gray. It's not even .1 of mile, I would say. And they are the top of the "hill", we are just down a tiny bit and it runs down hill from us. It's weird. Verizon map says they have the 4G whatever there. But yeah, I had Verizon when I moved to the apt here and I couldn't get service in a couple of the rooms. Figured it was my old phone though cause my brother's phone worked fine. Usually USC is great in WI but not in that little spot I guess.

CG will you be in your new house for your 4 year wedding anniversary next month?


you are such a creeper. Right now they have us closing that day so that's kinda cool. Not sure if it'll be that day or not, probably that week though.

Like anything the battery life is dependent on use. There are settings you can easily change to reduce phone performance and settings in order to maximize battery life.

I'm guessing just about anything would be better than what I have now.

Well way better than that. After two hours of constant use for music/texting at the gym, I'll leave at about 80%. There's also an extreme power saving mode you can turn on if it does get really low. I'm a nerd and carry a backup portable charger in my bag.

you are such a *****. And I was decidedly not cute in that photo, if it's for the Tribune. I thought that stuff was all pretty well buried by now. Dude was there for like an hour taking photos of me feeding calves. Put a photo on the front section of their business portion and my ******* eyes were closed with my mouth open. I was so ******.

hm, not the photo I'm thinking of if I was 14.

omg, I haven't seen that photo in years. I was 14, omg yeah, they put that on the front page of the business section. It's not big enough to tell here, but believe me when it's like 7x10 you can tell that my eyes are closed and I look so ******* stupid.

This was in the tribune. Hat on, mouth open, can't really tell on the eyes.

A pet peeve of mine. I am ancient, viewed my wedding as a sacrament. These look at me productions just kind of bore the heck out of me.

Totally agree. I'm all for getting down on the dancefloor, but these are over the top ridiculous. Here's my reaction:

Oh, well. At least there's open bar.

the calves in the photo are all dead now. Sad. Well, Rissy died about a year and a half later, the speckly one, Lyrielle, was actually still in the barn last time I was home I think. Shoot, she'd be 13 on the 20th. I bet that was a couple years ago I noticed her being in the barn still. I bet she's gone now.

That was a good summer, all my favorite families had babies in the hutches.
