Karen’s Opinion

I heard that watches are becoming a thing of the past. What?! I feel naked without my watch. It is the only piece of jewelry I wear most times. I have tried wearing bracelets but they drive me crazy. I revert back to my beautiful, trustworthy watch for its faithful job of keeping me on time.

I remember, about 35 years ago, looking longingly at the Seiko watches at our local jewelry store. Yes, the local jeweler was who we counted on for advice and quality time pieces, necklaces and earrings. Well, my husband was paying attention! I never know if he is listening or if what I say goes in one ear and out the other. LOL He was definitely listening and surprised me with a beautiful Seiko watch with small diamonds on each side of the face of the watch. I still have that watch and it still works!

Do you wear a watch? What do you count on to keep the time? I’ve heard that many folks use their cell phones to check the time. I like the convenience of looking at my watch. I’d hate to have to dig for my cell phone to check the time. How about you?

I am going to have to do something about our cell phone bill and am looking into different venues. I discovered that Boost Mobile has a program called Re-Boost that offers everything that interests me phone wise.

Boost Mobile phones are more social than the one I have now. What do I mean by social? I mean that they have the capabilities of updating Facebook and Twitter in a simple to use feature. I have to admit to being a Facebook addict.

One thing that I didn’t like when I went with the phone plan I have now is that in order to get unlimited texting I had to opt into a plan that had features I don’t use. Boost Mobile allows me to pick and choose the features I need. They have a cool Blackberry that has all the bells and whistles like an mp3 player and a digital camera. The enhanced browser allows connection to the internet where I can check my email and check out what is playing at the theater. The Monthly Unlimited plan includes unlimited talk, text, web and email for only $60! Wowzers!

Saving money is my main objective and I like an easy way to pay my bill. Nothing makes me madder at myself than to get a great phone plan but forget to pay my bill. I hate late fees! Boost Mobile has that covered too. They have easy payment options and offer payment by credit or debit cards. You can pay on-line, in-person, or pay by phone. How much simpler can it get?

There are so many benefits to Boost Mobile that I could go on and on with this post. Why not check it out for yourself? You will be glad you did.

I am perfectly fine with my old stuff like MP3 players, radios, big screen projection televisions etc. That is until I get around my kids. I find out there is Blue Ray that makes everything look amazing when I watch a movie. I drool over my daughter’s new Kindle and wish I had one so I could read in bed without having my nightstand light on. And the phones they have! Their phones do everything. We wanted to go to the movies and my daughter got on her phone to see what was playing and check the start time. How is that for convenience? There would be no need to have a wireless card for my laptop if I had a phone that did that!

I am in love with the LG Chocolate Touch. Not only does it let me make calls when I am out and about, it has texting capabilities and a camera. I have had those things with my old ancient phone but the LG Chocolate Touch has a one touch social media feature that would let me stay caught up with my Internet buddies. I could also take 3.2MP Camera/Recorder–quality pictures and videos, with image editor at the moment my dogs do something silly instead of trying to find my camera and missing the moment. The visual effects with the LG Chocolate Touch are amazing.

I love that the LG Chocolate Touch has a music player with Dolby Mobile technology for crystal-clear sound quality. I could be bee bopping to the beat as the handset vibrates to the beat of whatever music I am playing. How cool is that?!

It is time to get up to date with my media! How about you?
