Do you have AT&T as your cell phone carrier? We do and they somewhat recently (and annoyingly) changed their voice mail. We used to have either regular voice mail or visual voice mail. I preferred regular VM and my daughter preferred visual VM. Regular VM would play your message.....it would say, "you have one unheard message from <name in contacts> or <unknown number>". Then after you heard the message it would say, "press 9 to save message, press 7 to erase message". NOW....they completely got rid of visual VM and the new regular VM is as you describe and then as soon as the message is done playing it says, "message saved". It doesn't freaking give you a choice! So if you want to delete the message you have to go through the whole menu to replay saved messages and hit 7 as soon as the message starts to (re)play. SO ANNOYING!!!!!

I do not have AT&T--I'm with Consumer Cellular, which is further proof of my old lady-ness. And yes, I also have to replay a message to delete it instead of having the option of deleting it right after I listen to it the first time. So very, VERY annoying!

Not sure if you have this where you are (and are a member), but I've been finding my jeans at BJ's Warehouse lately. And sometimes at Costco too. We have memberships to both because we generally use BJ's down in FL (no Costco close by) and Costco in PA (closer/less traffic). Also in FL the BJ's has cheaper gas, but the BJ's near us in PA doesn't have gas. And in PA our Costco has cheaper gas. Anyway, I've been finding decent jeans there. And sometimes Walmart (but not as often, they seem to be phasing out a lot of their clothing)

We have both BJ's and Costco. Our family was briefly members of the former through my dad's workplace, who paid for the membership for the first year and I was briefly a member of the latter when my workplace did the same thing. After that, my old lady-ness balked at paying to shop somewhere (old lady-ness mixed with a touch of Midwestern cheapness <g>) so I no longer have a membership to either. I could ask my niece or nephew to see if there's light wash, mid-rise, straight or slim leg jeans at Costco. The rest of the family likes Costco so much, I'm beginning to worry they've joined some kind of weird Costco-worshipping cult.
