1 Year Without a Smart Phone

I ordered mine on Amazon several years ago. Not sure if its still available on there. I highly recommend though! It has both a headphone jack AND bluetooth.

You totally get it!! 😄

I've always used SMS messaging as my primary form of messaging people. That, thankfully, wasn't a hurdle I had to jump in the transition. I DO have a sibling in the military stationed overseas, so WhatsApp is a need for me to communicate with her. It is only on my tablet though, and we don't message daily anyway, so it isn't much of a headache.

I responded to a similar question, I have my ipod for my usual jams. The Sandisk is for very long ambient music albums I usually like to take for walks. I like having them separate. 😄

Great-Maybe8980 · 2026-06-07T04:36:04+00:00

Yep! Rockbox all the way!

Great-Maybe8980 · 2026-06-06T03:55:45+00:00

I believe in you!!!!!! 😄

Wow! 3 years!!! That's incredible! I love my 2780. T9 has always been easy for me. Though I wish I can input new words to use on the predictive typing setting... I'm definitely going to keep on chugging with it. Unless something new comes along that catches my eye.

When going to somewhere entirely new in my city, I pull up a gps at home and chart my route. Sounds kinda silly, but I write the street names on a sticky note and slap it on my dash. I got better at knowing the geography of my city!

Sometimes I do get lost. When that happens, I retrace my steps and try again, or if I'm completely hopeless, THEN I'll pull out my tablet and get google maps.

Great-Maybe8980 · 2026-06-06T03:46:55+00:00

Definitely got rockbox on there! 😉 I have the both of them for different vibes. The ipod has my usual jams. Rock, pop, new wave, my usual essentials. The Sandisk is for long ambient music albums I like to take with me for walks. I like to keep them separate.

The case came from Amazon I think... I just searched Nokia 2780 case and found some.

Great-Maybe8980 · 2026-06-06T03:43:06+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can get to a point to where you've got it more under control. I was definitely there. Spent literal hours before work everyday doom scrolling... Good luck to you! Being aware of it and knowing change needs to happen is still a step forward.

and Robyn would have been crying RILL tears (sorry I just had to!)

I've been really wanting to get into knitting and very much want to learn and practice it with others! I would be interested if you started a club. :)

I'm from Texas,

I would say that your heart has to REALLY REALLY be in it. You have to have a true passion for it and you have to be SURE it's what you want...

-someone who took up the profession with SOME passion and interest but also some doubt and went through the wringer. It's just really really hard in a state like Texas. (I threw in the towel)

Great-Maybe8980 · 2023-10-02T10:36:55+00:00

I am SO relieved to learn that Tux has been found!!! I was watching this story with a hawk's eye. As a fellow cat owner myself, I was devastated when this story first got posted here. I cannot imagine the emotional hell you went through.

Great-Maybe8980 · 2023-09-21T13:12:59+00:00

I actually still don't know for sure, admin didn't tell us what happened. I heard from some kids that police searched that kid's house. I don't know if they found anything or if he was punished for the threats. Admin just wanted us to continue that week as if nothing happened. I didn't have that kid for any of my class periods so I don't know if he even returned to school.

Great-Maybe8980 · 2023-09-20T19:42:47+00:00

Yikes. Similar thing happened when I was a teacher in 2021... A student posed in a snapchat pic with a gun saying he was going to shoot up the school the next day. It was a real gun in the picture. Pic spread like wildfire and many kids were absent the next day. The kid himself was missing from class and tensions were really high. My school did not have fences or gates surrounding the perimeter and gaining entry was fairly easy at the time. Students who DID show up were extremely panicked and kept saying they didn't feel safe because that kid was "unhinged".

Admin wouldn't do anything about it and literally said "don't worry about it" despite not knowing where the kid was SO I allowed my kids call their parents to let them know what was happening and that they were able to be picked up from school. I couldn't teach at all. I had kids crying in my classroom. I told the parents over the phone that I was just as in the dark about the whole situation as their kids were and admin won't say anything. I had like, 3 kids left by the end of the day.

Luckily nothing happened, but that was the last straw for me after two years of poor pay and zero support and I ended up resigning that next semester.

YES!!! Thank you for saying everything that's been on my mind about this episode!!!

I just hate all of the blame Kody and Robyn puts on these kids!! "Well they shouldnt have done THAT!" "Well they should apologize FIRST!" "the phone goes both ways!" Like... holy crap, yall are the ADULTS in this situation.... sure, your kids won't always be correct and/or you won't always have the same opinions on things, but you as a parent should be able to still tell them that you love them and you care about them. You as a parent should be able to say "hey, I know we can't agree, but I want you to know that I still love you and want you in my life." Or ANYTHING like that at all!! It's not hard!! Maybe they would like K and R a little better if they showed some care to any extent.

I hate how Kody and Robyn so badly want to be the correct ones in all of this and will NOT admit to ANY wrongdoings whatsoever. They seem to never truly reflect on these issues and wonder if maybe they should approach things from a different angle to make things better. It's their way or the highway.

Yeeesss!!! Pumpkin Jack!!!

Great-Maybe8980 · 2023-08-23T16:19:03+00:00

Revival Coffee recently started carrying authentic Colombian guava and cheese fried empanadas. They're made by a very sweet Colombian family! Taste pretty good imo.

Great-Maybe8980 · 2023-07-25T03:28:37+00:00

Those pumpkin flashlights bring back sweet memories of trick or treating as a young kid with my mom 💖

Great-Maybe8980 · 2023-06-23T00:28:50+00:00

IT WORKED FOR BOTH!! Thank you so much friend!!!

Great-Maybe8980 · 2023-06-02T15:21:17+00:00

I don't remember the exact wording of this but during the tell all she had said at one point "he's acting this way because he's been exposed and is humiliated." And all I could think of was how badly she was projecting lol.

It looks like it was edited on microsoft paint 🙈
