IMO, AT&T has a lot of work to do period. Their advertisements are really not that good, and the company seems to have become a hollow shell of what it was when it actually provided cable service (way back when, in the early XL daze).

Heh, my phone can only make calls, but it's only a prepaid plan.

On the other hand, just two more days left as a high school freshman!

I love Facebook's privacy settings.   My dad, aunt and uncle all added me on Facebook (being the good son and nephew I am [ha!], I added them), and now I can hide stuff from them (mostly photos and wall posts ). (Not that anything bad is on my facebook.. I just don't think they need to know what is going on in my social life  )

Haha I redid mine that way about two weeks ago for the same exact reason.

So I was watching Cold Case on TNT, and this popped up:



Not too crazy about it, but I knew it was going to happen here in the E.L. and Haslett this year. All channels are already digital (and thus require a cable box for all TVs and TV tuners) in Lansing.

FPB has that just about completely done here, now they're cutting off the analog cable.

You Tube down right now.

You Tube down right now.

Seems ok to me. Must have been a temporary thing. Twitter has been glitchy the past day or so

I beg to differ. I think some of their ads are pretty creative, especially the one where there are orange carpets being rolled out across landmarks all across the country. And while they have work to do to improve their wireless capabilities (i.e. less dropped calls), they certainly aren't a hollow shell. If they were a hollow shell they wouldn't be the number one land line provider and the second largest cellular provider in the United States. And you really can't compare AT&T to how it was during the digital cable days. Besides the fact that they aren't a digital cable company anymore, he company, technology, and consumer needs have drastically changed since then.

They truly are a giant company

I find this video explains it very well

Pretty big police chase in the area today, and I actually witnessed it a portion of it. The chase lasted an hour, starting in the city of Pittsburgh, leading into the East Hills neighborhood of the city, then via I-376 into Wilkinsburg, Penn Hills, Swissvale, and ended in Monroeville. KDKA reports several police agencies were involved, including Pittsburgh Police, PA State Police, Allegheny County Police, Allegheny County Sheriff's Office, Penn Hills Police, Wilkinsburg Police, Swissvale Police, Churchill Police, Forest Hills Police, and Monroeville Police. The chase originated in the city, so Pittsburgh Police took jurisdiction over the investigation. KDKA obtained surveillance video and they counted 26 police cars behind the suspect at that point in time.

After crashing in a very busy Monroeville shopping center parking lot, the suspect hit several police cars, injuring 3 officers:  1 Allegheny County Sheriff's Deputy, and 2 Pittsburgh Police officers. The two city officers where hit and thrown into the air, sustaining severe injuries to their lower extremities. 

It's sad  someone would run from police and drive like that, putting literally the thousands of people he passed on the road at risk. Here's one of the videos via KDKA: http://kdka.com/video/?id=73163@kdka.dayport.com

I am going to lose privileges the next day thanks to that jerk that my mom is having a relationship with. That means I won't be using computer and play video games for a while . What a jerk that guy is. He just act as a dad to me and I get to see almost every single day and I CAN'T STAND IT!!!  He just ruins summer 2010 and the whole year for me.  how disappointing. I thought it went well. I hope it doesn't happen cause I get really upset if I lose privilege in using the Internet (even though I can't stand this computer). Just like losing a good friend, I will get really upset as well, which last happens on 4/29/2010 for saying rude things to her, but I'm still her friend and nice to her. I hate my mom's boyfriend so much he has to move back to his home, not our family. I hate it when someone like him lives there, but has a different last name than the one who belongs in his/her own house. I prefer seeing my friends every single day, not that lousy  hole who punished me. Thanks the lord I don't has a girl/boycrap(friend) nor I never will have one.

Well, you have to still respect him even though you don't like him. You can't stop your mom from having a relationship with him.

People amaze me.  Luckily nobody was killed.  Anytime I hear about someone being hit by a car and THROWN into the air, I just can't even imagine living through that.  Hopefully those people fully recover.
