Non-contract hobby phone?
So what's the hot ticket on a hobby phone nowadays? I know Virgin Mobile has been recommended on here before, are they still the way to go?
Here's what I'm looking for:
* Can purchase the phone and refill minutes with cash.
* Can activate the phone without supplying my real name and address.
* Refill minutes that don't expire once activated.
* Data plan so I can check my hobby email address and various hobby related sites from it, to keep my real phone completely clean.
* Device that has wifi so I can do as much of my Internet access as possible over wifi instead of the data plan.
* The refill minutes need to also give me text messages and data access.
And in a really perfect world:
* A device that uses the same wall and car charging cables as my current Samsung Focus.
I saw the LG Optimus V at Best Buy, and I think that phone with a Virgin plan gets me most of what I want. I really like the rate plans, I could easily get by on their $25 plan which is unlimited text and data, and 300 minutes. The only thing I'm unclear about is whether the $25 top-up cards expire after 30 days. Anyone know?
Good instincts or paranoid?
So I had a really weird dream the other night. In my dream I was going to see the Penny that has been reviewed on here. So I texted her, basically saying hey wanted to see what specials you had going on and if you were available tonight. The first red flag that I got was that she gave me times but never asked how long, nor gave me her donations. The second red flag is that she was available to meet 15min after my first text. So, at this point in my dream, I was getting ready to wake up and forget the whole situation but I thought,"oh what the hell, I'll meet you at XXpm. Now, based on the reviews I had read about other people's dreams, rates are very reasonable and she can usually be found in run down motels. In my dream however, she tells me to meet her at one of the nicest hotels in greater cincy. At this point in my dream, I am like f*ck this there is no way she is staying at a hotel that charges $15 a day for parking. What bothered me about the whole dream is that she has reviews and I texted the same number used in her reviews.
My questions are: 1) did I do the right thing by not meeting, or am I just a paranoid weirdo? 2) Any advise for future reference is greatly appreciated (as at this point I am a little bit of a mess and ready to give up on non long-time trusted sources).
Bad Bug: Gonorrhea strain resists all antibiotics
On MSNBC today:
"For several years, public health officials have been concerned that gonorrhea, one of the most prevalent STDs in the world, might become resistant to the last widely available antibiotics used to treat it, a class of drugs called cephalosporins. Now, it has."

It's not in the USA. Yet.
Experience with secure tabs
After reading several positive reviews on this site concerning the legitimacy of the my secure tabs website I went ahead and ordered a small quantity of vitamins see & v with a pre-paid visa. I am not yet over 60 my ins will not cover these medications. As most of you well know they are quite expensive without ins picking up part of the tab. I was able to get the cipla generics shipped at roughly $2 a pill and gave them a test run last night. No discernible difference from the name brand. Just wanted to share my positive experience with this company as I know there are plenty of bs sites out there that are more than willing to steal your identity and / or ship you bogus vitamins.
Cheers!
