Add additional mics to taste. I got into more specifics in the thread.cheers.

A new phone. My Samsung D-600 (all the way from 2006!) bit the dust last night after drunkenly hitting it against a table in a way of proving how much it can take.I need something fairly new, easy to get used to for someone who hasn't had a new phone in ages and most importantly of all - fairly affordable.

Our Aero Bed double mattress is pretty good. My g/f bought it and probably read a fuck ton of product reviews before getting it. The pump is automatic and takes about 10 seconds.

We both grew up in the South and miss the hot humid summers and are just a little tired of the lack of nature in Chicago.We like to be outdoors and this isn't the city for that for more than half of the year.We have both lived in Austin, and although we like it, we are looking for something new.Athens, Atlanta have come to mind but we have never been there. Suggestions?Maybe Louisville?The missus grew up in Chatanooga, TN and seemed to like it. Very pretty place.

Atlanta does NOT blow. There are some wonderful areas here, you just have to know where to look.
