Cell phone!?
I feel like I really need a cell phone, because I always find for myself in situations where I can’t ever find a phone when I need it. Plus I’m a senior in High School now and am not as home as often.
Right now we have dial up and it dampers things because we never can get phone calls…
Also, we are somewhat challenged in the areas of money right nowwww…
Alright: So I need a name of a cell phone that is cheap, with excellent calling times (like, it would be nice if I didn’t have to call long distance ONLY have 6 or something) and minutes per month, will be usable anywhere (I live near Yakima, WA and it is hard to make calls out in the valley a lot of the time, and I travel to Portland, OR a lot and my program never really works…), will be bendable for when I go to college (moving only 45 minutes away), and also a family plot would be nice… My mom denies she needs one but I know she /wants/ one. =) And uh, don’t say Trac Fone or whatever they are called. xD Texting isn’t that vital.

Answer by sum1
For the plot, get at&t or verizon wireless. For the phone, the sony ericsson brand is really excellent (it has tons of awesome and useful features). If you want a phone just for calling, try the Samsung Sync or Lg Venus.

Fort Carson Off Highway Vehicle Park trails open to dirt bikes, ATVs
Sep 17, 2010
By Devin L. Fisher (Fort Carson)
FORT CARSON, Colo.-Dirt bike and all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts now have the opportunity to get in a trail ride after work and on the weekends without having to place the community area.
Fort Carson and the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation leadership held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 10 to open the Fort Carson Off Highway Vehicle Park which features about 10 miles of trails spread across 199 acres. The trail entrance is located just inside Gate 20 across from the water treatment facility.
Limited to military identification card holders with dirt bikes, dual sport motorcycles and four-wheeled ATVs, the thought of an off-road park was first voiced by Soldiers during a lunch with the 4th Infantry Division mandate team at the Raider Dining Facility.
Maj. Gen. David G. Perkins, commanding general, 4th Inf. Div. and Fort Carson, told persons in attendance that due to the persistence of Mandate Sgt. Maj. Daniel A. Dailey, 4th Inf. Div. and Fort Carson senior enlisted leader, and the garrison staff, DFMWR was able to provide Soldiers a place for another activity to do during their off-duty time.
"This is one of our many attempts to improve quality of life at Fort Carson for Soldiers and Families, charitable them some of the things they want to do here on Fort Carson and also charitable them something that is unique," Perkins said.
Garrison Commander Col. Robert F. McLaughlin, was pleased leadership may maybe provide something the community questioned for.
"This is a fantastic capability for us to have for our Soldiers (and Families)," he said. "We have a lot of programs that provide for recreation to give our Soldiers something to do on the installation. This is a fantastic example of using the existing terrain and modifying it so Soldiers can have some safe, excellent fun."
Noting he’s seen a lot of dirt bikes and ATVs in the back of pickup trucks on post, Outdoor Recreation Director Eric Hill, said his staff is excited to add the park to its list of activities.
"We had a fantastic turnout here today (at the grand opening) which shows us a lot of public are interested in this program," he said. "I anticipate a lot of public getting out and enjoying it."
He said there is the makings in the future to add a small limited track for children and beginners to learn the sport and maybe even a motocross course.
Even if he wasn’t the one to request an OHV Park be made, Spc. Robert White, Company B, 204th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Inf. Div., said he plans to ride the trails two to three times a week.
"It’s fantastic that Soldiers have a place to ride safely," said White, who races his ATV in the Sport Riders of Colorado circuit.
The park will be open year round from dusk to dawn, weather permitting. Hill noted Outdoor Recreation will close the trails during severe weather to protect the area and keep it usable for the long term.
For safety purposes, the majority of the trails are one-way, marked by posts, so riders don’t come over rises or around corners and run into each additional, he said.
Riders will be on the honor system to register and follow the rules.
"It’s a self-directed program, but we had to set some parameters to keep it safe and make sure we are able to continue to use the area," Hill said.
Among the rules, which riders must sign and acknowledge during the registration process, Hill stressed were that all vehicles must be washed former to entering the trails to prevent the convey of noxious plant species and weeds; riders must carry cell phones in case an emergency arises; and all vehicles must stay on the trails to preserve the area.
Perkins encouraged Soldiers to speak up when questioned what leadership can do to improve their tour at the Mountain Post.
"This is a meaningful way to show our Army, our division, our post listens to your needs and cares about you," he said. "Hopefully this (park) gets well used."

My parents won’t allow me to get a cell phone even though I am very mature and can afford it. I am in Leadership, SADD, sports and Senior Girls Basketball(even though I am a year younger than what they cut off to) and gave fantastic inscription (90+).
I do what I am told to do by my parents, I get along with my siblings, I babysit when they need me to and yet they do not reckon I need a cell phone. I do not whine nor am I spoiled like most kids in my school. I am turning fifteen in January. I am getting my learners’ soon.
I told them I need a cell phone for my games/ tournaments, extra-curricular, when I’m sick and such. I have done research on different phones and service providers and have found a cell phone plot that questions you only pay 25 dollars a month for boundless text and 100 minutes of talk. I am responsible and careful with expensive things.
So, how can I convince my parents to let me get a cell phone?
