Ah, that's another one. I switched my Citibank credit card bill to online only, and it was the first time that I ever missed a payment, so I promptly switched it back.

I hated getting printed bank statements monthly though. It served no purpose for me. I'm glad they automatically switched it to online only.

I absolutely refuse to use online message boards. The web is one thing but when people get together on these so-called forums and share their opinions, nothing good can come of it.

I can understand news blogs, but personal blogs are moronic. Put it in a diary/journal and don't submit others to your boring life.

I completely agree. I had one ~4 years ago when they were "cool." Well, now they have spread around my school and everyone is talking about myspace. (11th and 12th graders). I wanna say STAHFOO NOOB to all of them.

I refuse to spend time downloading or looking for a specific ring tone.
I don't care about cell phone features.

mp3 ringtones make it a lot easier nowadays. just clip your favorite song and transfer it into your phone for your own personalized ringtone.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm quite satisfied with whatever's on my phone now. As long as my phone does its job letting me know when a call comes through, I'm fine. :)
