How do you stop an exploding man?

How do you stop an exploding phone bill?

I don't know why I looked at my minute balance last Thursday but I did. I had less than an hour of anytime minutes left and almost a week until my bill rolled over. I'm just not that chatty. But I guess with logistics and the trip and Thanksgiving and it all got away from me. I've been having conversations that all start with "I have five minutes." Or avoiding them all together with, "Can I call you back at nine?" Ridiculous. Let's hope this doesn't happen again next month. If it does it's going to be a little suspicious. I mean, most months I don't even clear 300 minutes.

It's all OK this morning, though, the counter has rolled over and I'm back to zero, ready to start again.
