I try to actually add something when I comment. Sometimes it's a quip, sometimes it's several paragraphs.
When we first moved west, we got a cell phone because it was cheaper than long-distance fees on a landline. We were on the edge of service though, and had to stand outside to get a clear signal. My sister accidentally got a huge phone bill when she FINALLY got texts, and went way over. Now they're basically free. So much has changed.
