If you can use it on wi-fi it can be very handy to have. As a
ferinstance, next week I'm going to be in a situation on a couple of
days where I have to wait for a few hours at a time. I'll read the
local news, check out USA Today, Flipboard. etc. It is not heavy to
carry around or take up space. I'll probably send a few texts to
interested parties about the progress of where I am.
If nothing else, it is handy entertainment.

Extended family members better get used to the idea. And if he is a
drunken fool then he should keep on drinking....it made him a
billionaire and also a front runner in the presidential election.

I personally admire him for speaking his mind and not politically
correct crap. This is a new thing.

Don't worry too much though. He won't be King of America. Congress
will keep him on a short leash. I'll bet you now that he wins big in
November and he will also easily win a 2nd term in 2020.

For quick trips to the dollar store for things like milk, eggs, toilet
paper, I hand write a list. For a stock-up trip I use Publix
Supermarket's online shopping list and print the list from the computer
before I leave the house. So, sometimes technology is involved, it's
just not on a phone.

Hey, if people enjoy using a cell phone for grocery lists more power to
them.

Hell, if he really wants walls he can afford to build them himself.

I haven't seen a Longs Drugs in some time - brings back memories!

Me too, what can be more simple than a piece of paper on the 'fridge

go!

Did you read about his plan? Make illegal immigrants here pay for the
wall. Confiscate the money they are sending back to families in
Mexico. It could happen. I haven't ever heard about a Canada/US wall.

the thing is, Gary. Every time he speaks his mind it is different
than the last time he spoke. The fact that he speaks and thinks like
Sheldon is what is entertaining and attractive to people -- like a
game show.

You don't like furinners Gary? Are you an escapee from the Ozarks perhaps? Sharon is RIGHT...Trump is dangerous and a windbag. Why would any intelligent American want that jerk for President? The Republican Party is at fault for even contemplating that he could lead the nation responsibly and with competence. They will rue the day they chose him.

My son said he saw a video where a guy in Syria (?) was being interviewed. His house was on fire behind him and the reporter wanted to talk about what happened. The guy ignored his questions and asked the reporter about Trump being president. "This worries me" he says, as his house is burning down.

Seventeen lists?! Yikes, are you shopping for all of San Francisco?!
No wonder you need an app for that.

I can't speak for Nancy2 or anyone else. I, for one, never have such a
huge shopping list that it matters if I accidentally leave the list at
home. I usually know the main items I was going to the store for
anyway. As for the paper list, I keep it next to my purse so it's
natural to take it with me. Just as I wouldn't leave my wallet at home,
the paper list is with my purse.

You just posted you've got *seventeen* shopping lists. That's something
I cannot begin to fathom.

All I really did when nb announced he let his cell phone contract lapse
was tell him it still works for dialing 911. I did NOT intend for this
to become an 'Us' vs. 'Them' debate. Truly!

He also dredged up the old saw about the 9/11 terrorists coming from
Canada - I thought everyone knew by this time they lived in Florida
while attending flight school, for two years.

On the odd occasion it has happened, why I use my memory cells inside
my head! Cell phone freaks are going to lose their brain cells
because they don't use them.

So, he's going to win in November, Congress won't let him do most
of the things that he promised, and you call this different from
business as usual? And worthy of a second term?

You heard the one about Cruz's father being in on the assignation of
President Kennedy? He said that the day before the Indiana election.
you think Bush et. al fudged the truth about WMD in Iraq as a reason
to go to war there? That ain't nothin. Trump has said that using
"the bomb" is not out of the question .

I can't speak for Nancy, but I shop every Thursday after work. There's
no "out and about and decide to shop". If I need something between times,
it's either small enough to remember without a list, or I make a list on
whatever scrap paper is handy when I realize I need additional items.

I do 95% of my grocery shopping at a single store every Thursday
after work. One list is sufficient. If I want to get something
exotic at another store, I can remember a few items. I hate
shopping; I never shop on the spur of the moment or without
planning ahead.

On the contrary. We just use them to better purpose. sf and I don't
live alone so we have more going on in our lives.
