    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        Re: Off Topic 2014

        My university has the ****tiest parking, especially for a school that mainly consists of commuters. Drove around north campus parking lot and garage with about 20 other cars for an hour trying to find a spot. None at all. I drove to an entirely different campus across the city and the garage was filled to the top.

        I just wasted about an hour trying to find a spot and I'm now running late for an exam which I cannot make up. I debated on driving to another campus in hopes to find a spot, but I figured I would not be able to make it on time to class which is located on the first campus I tried. I decided to drive up to the very top and park at the very end knowing I run this risk of getting a parking violation. I wrote a little note stating, "I know I'm in the wrong for parking here, but there honestly are no spots anywhere. I have an exam to rush to.... throw in some extra fluff...blahblah" I just hoped I can show up in the final 20 minutes of class and be allowed to take the exam and maybe the officer writing tickets may show some sympathy. I even made sure to park at the very top against the wall where it does not even impede any other car.

        Guess what happened? I did make it to class, but I was not allowed to take the exam because I missed 3/4 of class time. Her syllabus states that no exam can be made up so make sure you are on time. Great! I spent an hour and a half looking for a spot, only to find none available. I walk all the way back to my car and I find a ticket on my windshield. The absolute worst possible outcomes happened to me. This is probably the worst day I've had in a long time.

          Does anyone know of a decent place to buy phones? I don't trust places like eBay and ****.

            eBay is probably the easiest (and one of the best) places to do it.

            Don't know why you wouldn't trust it. There are legitimate stores and reviews on there for the sellers.

              I know you don't trust it, but nothing compares to eBay.


              Just read seller reviews.

                Can't go wrong with Amazon, either, I'd assume...

                  I'm confused...Are you talking about landline or cell?

                  Either way, I think Ebay is the most convenient and cheapest.

                        It's a joke. We've been thinking about getting one again but no one ever called so it just kind of sat there.

                            I had one for a short period of time as it actually made my Cable Bill cheaper when it was packaged with Internet and TV. I gave out the number to family as an emergency number in the event that I ever go too long without responding to texts and/or phone calls. But despite my best efforts, I could never keep it plugged in for more than a few hours at a time. I was getting 10+ calls a day from debt collectors looking for the previous owner of the number and telemarketers. Even being signed up on a do not call list. I yanked it out, cancelled the phone service on my bill and laughed at the fact that my bill didn't go up.

                                Only reason I have a landline is because is slashes my total bill for internet and cable if you have all three with Optimum. I dont remember the last time I actually answered that phone. Usually telemarketers.
