FreedomPop and Airvoice

Over the weekend, we received the FreedomPop wifi hotspot. In signing up for the service, they make it so you have to sign up for a 'premium' - an additional monthly 500Mb above the original 'free' 500Mb. It states it's on a trial basis, and that you have to call support to withdraw from the 'premium'. I'll be calling soon.


Meanwhile, my 3 phone numbers have all been ported to Airvoice, and that's going well. I'm down to $5.88 remaining in my original $10 allotment for Sept. Son1 and Son3 are both plugging away with their $10 plans. Son1 is upset - thinks he may have missed a job offer call while he was working at his current job. I told him to call them back, and ask.


On the dating front, went out on two (2x!) first-dates this weekend from the FIRE Weirdness profile.
The first seemed doomed to failure before it began...
Notable quote1: (on the phone BEFORE meeting)
"Oh, you sound taller on the phone."
Notable quote2: (upon meeting)
"You look just like your pictures!"
I don't know WHAT to do with the first quote. It was just strange. As for the second, I *SO* wanted to quip: "Am I supposed to look like someone else?"
Conversation that killed any future dating prospects:
Q: "So, you can see from my profile that I'm debt free, how about you? Do you have credit card debt?"
A: (rolling eyes, and entire body) "Oh, LOADS! I'm an artist"


Oh well... The second first-date was more promising - she looked GREAT - her pictures truly didn't do her justice. She looked like a cross between Debra Harry (Blondie) and Marilyn Monroe. Conversation went well, and we even moved from drinks to dinner. But she slowly detached, and when the check came, her $15 drinks (two of them) did not bode well as someone with a mustachian 'value' mindset. Hell, $30 is 3 weeks drinking budget for me! (but I took it out of the 'travel' budget)


Today... got a 'ping' from an attractive user on my OLD OKCupid account, and she seems like a great fit for the FIRE Weirdness profile, so I sent a nice message saying, "check out my other profile FIRE Weirdness as well, and let me know". Her profile made reference to her being locked in a castle tower, and wanting a prince to ride in, and carry her away. I sent a 2nd message saying... "P.S: it's good to find someone else who believes in dragons, good men, and other fantasy creatures." :-)
