Nope, but I've had to forgo eating cottage cheese entirely, now that
ALL the brands use guar gum, which can give me serious thick mucous
problems. DId you make the curds with vinegar, or what?

I asked Onesuite support about this too as I was suprised that my
number shows up on the other end. I was told that they changed their
system and by default, Onesuite subscriber's number will show. If a
customer doesn't want their number to be seen then they can call
support and request for that without additional charge.

So you didn't buy a car because it was cheeper to do so, you bought a
car because the old one inconvenienced you. Keeping the old car, and
putting up with the inconvenience would have cost you less than buying
another car (whether that new car was off the showroom or just new to
you.)

A very rare case I expect. Few people have jobs where they loose $20K+
because their car was in the shop for a few days, (and I expect such
people don't have to worry so much about the cost of buying a new car
every 3-5 years.)

I would never suggest that people only buy used cars. I think it is far
better to buy a new car... but only when you actually need a new car.
Most people buy a car (new or used) long before the one they have is
beyond repair.

Ah pretty clever! Thanks for the tip I will try to do that next time I
travel. Onesuite preaid calling card and voip is really nice
combination, you can take advantage of whats cheaper or accessible to
you in any given moment.

Funny how we all have different opinions about on how to cut our
nails. One thig is for sure, our ancestors doesn't have nail cutters
and they survive and lived normally.
