I covet. But how the hell do this many people (est. 500,000!) have $600 to spend on a phone? Okay, someone pointed out to me that the majority of these people actually don’t have the money to buy this phone (note to self: buy stock in credit card companies). Still. I am way, WAY, too cheap to drop that kind of change for one.
CNNMoney: Evan Herman, 28, first went to an AT&T store several blocks away, but said the line was too short… “Half the fun is the experience of the line,” said Herman.
Dude, you need to find a new way to meet people. (And I thought I knew how to waste time.)
Even if I wasn’t cheap, I would at least wait until the second generation. I mean, I love Apple but c’mon… it’s Apple. Use some sense. Don’t get me wrong — if some idiot offered me one for free I would punch the idiot and run away with it before he changed his mind. But $600? Ouch.
Plus, in another year it’ll probably look as antiquated as my first Mac. You know it’s true.
That being said, if you have one, please… tell me all about it.

After the melee over at SVMomBlog, I’m a little surprised to see a certain Ms. Roper still listed as a contributor on their About Us page. Granted, she has posted only one non-related blog since TPFKATPPTA (The Post Formerly Known As The Problem with the White PTA), so it’s a little vague if she’s lying low or if she is now an ex- and her name has yet to be removed.
Now don’t come trolling around here and yapping to me about free speech. I’m just curious. I’m not launching any campaigns here.

This is an old surprise actually: the twins’ weight “issues,” which I wrote about the other day. Just wanted to add that we left that pediatrician behind when we moved, thankfully. Loser. I mean, nice guy… but what kind of bullshit diagnosis is that? And who gives their three-year-olds caffeinated sodas? Are you serious? People need their kids to be more hyper?

Apparently we can’t even let our kids play in the backyard behind a fence. A six-year-old girl was abducted for several hours after being lured out by a stranger. Fortunately, she was released after a few hours, relatively unharmed. This is the stuff that gives me nightmares and makes me borderline-agoraphobic. I’m so relieved and happy for her and her family.

I’m constantly surprised and impressed by the creativity of secret-keepers over at Post Secret. This is one of the first blogs I ever came across. Some of the secrets are surprising and haunting, yes, but sometimes the surprise for me is how these secrets bring out the artist in people. Brilliant.

Well, great. Now I have about 5 links to click on from your post. So much for a quick jump onto the internet while waiting for my toddler to finish pooping, eh? (TMI? Sorry.)
I totally want an iPhone. I can’t help it! I am an Apple whore. But I am also cheap, so alas, I will content myself with my five-year-old-doesn’t-even-have-a-camera phone and my $10/month I’m-friends-with-a-manager-at-the-phone-comapny contract. I did get to touch an iPhone over the weekend. I felt in the presence of greatness.
“TPFKATPPTA”–HA HA HA! Love that one.
I don’t even have an iPod, so I’m not too interested in the iPhone, but it’s probably because I’ve ignored any and all info on it so I have no idea what it’s like.
I’m a late-bloomer and JUST got an iPOD a few weeks ago. Needless to say, I’m still fiddling with and scratching my head at all the ‘new’ technology that faces me. So far as the new iPhone — hmmm, my first’ll probably be in about five years when all the hype dies down.
Now I’ve gotta click on all the other stuff you’ve offered up! See ya!
I WANT AN IPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i don’t want to switch to AT&T b/c it’ll affect my online billing. and i already have problems with paper work, b/c afterall i am the CLUTTERERMOM.
I am such a techno loser, I can barely program my cellphone, don’t have an iPod, I’d be hopeless with the iPhone. I haven’t been to Post Secret in ages, I’ll have to check them out now,thanks for the reminder.
I’m a PostSecret addict. I was in withdrawl last Sunday when there were no secrets. I had actually sent mine in the week before. It hasn’t shown up, though.
As for the iPhone–I hate that stupid phone! (Can you hear my lips smacking sour grapes?) After five years of a horribly embarassing ownership of a godawful looking Kyocera phone, I bought a Samsung (go Korea!) UpStage and even got it in the just released gorgeous shade of red. Two days later that stinking iPhone came out! Ugh. Now my phone is just. . .”a phone that is not an iPhone” Crap.
A friend of ours got one (iPhone) - apparently PN saw it the other day and he was salivating. I told him a firm “no”. I do hear it’s fantastic - a complete computer plus a portable DVD player… I don’t know. I like my phone to be just that: a phone. I don’t even want a camera phone.
I almost submitted a secret to PostSecret site… or did I?
Man, talk about real random jumping of topics! I thought I was bad.
MN- ha ha! I know, that was a clusterfuck of a post. Welcome to my mind!
