the only excessive expensive seems to be the monthly internet charge, which she had a very week argument for. so get the device and forget the internet option, it will be a nice compromise.

I'm all for poor Nancy having a phone/PDA - I don't know how Mom's ever do without a cell phone (see my blog for a recent road-side emergency that would have been REALLY bad without a phone). As for the PDA part, if you prefer, Chris, she could buy one of those planners that cost about $150 plus a new calendar pages thing every year, plus any add-ons that she deems necessary. Those things can easily be $300 before you're done. So why not get a digital one for her and score some points with the wife.

I am confused. She is proposing a new bill that would only be less than our mortgage,car payment, insurance, electric, and HOA (includes water, cable, garbage, and sewer).

Hey Chris,
Has Nancy checked out the new iphone? Dan's drooling for one of those--better than a treo and more money!!!! So be grateful she hasn't happened upon the mac world.
Here's a sample conversation between Dan and me:

Court: Hey Dan, I was thinking it would be nice to get _______.

Dan: That's great.

The End--I guess because he knows I always check the money and know it will work. Hope you recover soon from your accident. Crazy.

she has a compelling argument.

So maybe the plan is $63 per month, but if you subtract your savings, I say a BIG argument is that you get ALL of those benefits for only $33/month!
What kind of a moron wouldn't jump on that?

I direct this to Chris and Nancy.

First I am in favor of Nancy receiving a cell phone and I have voted the "phone only" option in the poll. The argument for safety is a compelling one.

Having said that, I understand that Nancy has a history of losing phones, not once, but twice. I do not think an additional investment in a Treo would be a good one until it can be demonstrated that proper care can be taken with a telephonic device that includes getting used to carrying one.

You can get a prepaid phone from Walmart for $18.00. Let me propose that Nancy get a cheaper phone for a time and when it can be demonstrated that the phone is in good hands, talk about an upgrade.

You don't want to give someone a porsche if they are just learning to drive.

Chris,
You blllllllllew it, you should have just given this phone/PDA to Nancy as an anniversary gift for the many wonderful years she has given you (and for putting up with you all those same years). Let's face it buddy she is way worth more than $300.00 plus $63.00 an month and you know it. Stop trying to torture her. Be nice for a change. What is this with written porposal? Don't you KNOW when you are home, you are NOT at work? Wake up guy and smell the roses, they are growing in your backyard and you don't even know it.

I am trying to cast my vote on Nancy's fate...cell phone/pda, but it won't let me pick that one. I get an error message. Hmmm...sounds fishy Chris!
