Sidney seems to have a less than desirable attitude since she has been hanging out with Alex Wood? last couple of days She called me Sunday afternoon using cell phone 255-2020 and asking about the HERO phone She called on Friday, too I told her we would sit down as a family when you were done with your work week, and make a decision about it I haven't checked to see if it rings at my house; and if it doesn't I'll be taking it back within the 30 days of trial, or maybe in a couple of days The speed of internet is only a little above dial up, so not so good if the main thing you were doing was wanting it for the internet use; I don't know if that phone is as good as Sonja's AT&T (I'm not any expert on features) your speed of computer use is pretty good at the house; & I'm thinking that getting the small computer would be the way to go for her one of these days When the kids are eligible for another phone on the program you have: is Veronica? is Brandon? is Sidney? Do they want a HERO? I will buy one for them, if so; as they all should be considered Sale price of $100 is through 4-15; Sonja thought 4/30 But otherwise it is only $150 (?) then $15 per month for the software package for use in Valdez/Glennallen (texting included) & $15 for insurance per month for loss/damage/theft Can call all Alaska numbers; but no use of phone in rest of state without the $30 software package Replace of phone would be $450 without insurance ______________________ I think the kids should stay on your program, and not have to be watching the minutes they use Sidney seems to be friends with Katie Merioles and I hope still with Madeline Choice of friends will make a difference in how well they turn out in life
