Williamts99.com - My sarcasm may be difficult to distinguish

Aaron Eagen of Norridgewock, Maine I do not want liars in my life, which is why I want nothing to do with you.  I think that you should seriously grow up, it has been long enough, getting close to 6months already, get over it, I think you are reaching stalker status.  Do you realize that with all of your lies, everyone just laughs at you behind your back.  You lie about Holly, you lie about me, you lie about yourself, to yourself and others.  I feel that the best part is if anyone believes that your lies are true, it would really make them wonder how bad it must have been with you that she would trade up to me.  :-)

I heard that you wanted to make a deal, you stop lying about me, and I stop telling the truth on my blog and delete my previous post about you.  Well I would accept your deal provided that you admit your lies in a local news paper of your area.  Deal?  I highly doubt that you could man up to it, but hey, sometimes people surprise me, mostly they do not.

It was nice to see that you commented to my other blog post which made me laugh.  Your comment to the post about hurting others, I deleted as I do not like rude comments, and will not allow them to be posted on my blog.

William had a great time opening and getting his presents from Santa this year.  Here is what he got from his MomMom and PopPop Steve.

I was tired of worrying about handing my camera over to my 2yo son William.  He loves to take pictures though, so I decided for xmas to get him and I a new rugged camera.  This way we don't have to worry as much about him breaking it while practicing his photography skills.  I can just hand him the camera mostly without worry.  There has been a leaning towards rugged electronics after my son put my cell phone(handy) into the dish washer.  I had decided before as to some camera specifications and recommendations before.  Everything in life is a compromise though and this is no exception to the rule.

Pros: SDHC card(using EyeFi wireless card), ultra-compact, 12megapixels, 1.5meters shock proof, 3.0meters waterproof(and dustproof), Optical Image Stabilizer, great reviews, video with HDMI out, and 4.6x Optical Zoom, underwater housing available for SCUBA diving.

Cons: Special Li-ion battery is pretty much a requirement in an ultra-compact camera, it's a bit on the expensive side, special USB connector(but I have an EyeFi Card, so it won't be used).

Of course these are now wrapped and ready to go. Merry Xmas

So it came time to look for a new phone recently.  I was going to get a 'rugged' phone, but all of them had at least some issues for my preferences.   I wanted to keep the plan I'm on the same as there are two other people involved, otherwise a smartphone with WiFi and Android OS, would have been at the top of my list.  Having a $150 upgrade credit helped with the selection.  But what really helped me narrow it down is the PhoneArena website.  On the left hand side, they have choices of phones and carriers, I choose Sprint as my carrier.  Then I looked at the sprint website and determined which ones would be free to upgrade to.  I was originally willing to pay for a rugged phone(Motorola i365) with good battery life, good reviews, but didn't have a standard USB port, and I hate having special chargers.

So on the next screen I put a check mark in all of the free phones that I might be interested in and click on the 'compare' button.  This brings up the phones features next to each other so you can make an informed decision.  As you eliminate the possibilities, just click on remove to narrow down your search.  Battery life over 5hrs and a standard microUSB port were high on my list.  Which narrowed it down to two phones, Samsung Reclaim, and the LG LX370.  Now choosing between these two was quite difficult because I like LG but complaints about the font and screen size kept me away, I really liked the 3.5mm headphone jack and larger screen on the Reclaim.  So anyway, I got the eco-friendly Samsung Reclaim in earth green for free after all of the instant rebates(I don't like mail-in rebate fraud), should be here tomorrow.  If you are thinking of a new phone, def check out PhoneArena.

Well I think this is the straw breaking the camels back, 16inches so far and still snowing.  William and I went out to play but that lasted for about 5min tops.  The wind chill was aprox 16f, made it out the front door, and into the huge pile of snow where William decided to lay for a little while.  That was about enough for him and me, he tried to move forward and lost his rubber boot as it was stuck.  I think snow is so beautiful but I think I would rather visit it on a mountain, from a lift :-)  Then you see all the crazies out on the roads stuck, while they were asking people with 4wd to help get the doctors and staff to the hospitals.  It is times like this that I want to be somewhere far far south of here :-)

Edit: We ended up with 17inches of snow.
