Do not be yoked together ...with another cell carrier

We are long-time Cingular customers. We have been particuarly fond of calls that are free to our long distance friends and family and to other Cingular customers. We have even carried an exorbitant amount of rollover minutes...until recently.

Our oldest daughter, who turns 15 next week, has a boyfriend now. He's a good kid. Smart. Articulate. Athletic. Good looking. Outgoing. Well mannered. Sounds like the perfect kid.

Problem is, he's a Verizon customer. That's not good. As of the 18th of the month we had less than 100 minutes left. Right now we...rather, she and handsome have whittled our rollover minutes down to 582 as of 8:44 EST this evening.

The Bible is full of practical wisdom. While it is outside the boundaries of exegesis, I am still convinced the the words found in 2 Corinthians 6:14 can be applied to different cell carriers. Nay, the yoking of Cingular kids and the sinful kids with other cell carriers.

I fully realize that customers of Verizon and the rest are casting stones at me as well. Maybe Alltel (love their new commercials) has a corner on the truth.

I've calmed down now. Loving my neighbor as myself...and making sure beautiful and handsome call each other on the land line or using IM before 7pm on weeknights.
