depends upon the carrier/plan.
 
ours is counted both ways in or out all counts in the plan.

it figured out and used to it.

all.

Still using the tower and air time though. If I pay my carrier for my
landline they still have to provide you cell time to receive.

Call the provider and ask them. They are the most reliable source of
information. You can probably find the answer to this and many other
questions on the provider's customer support web page.
 
Asking a bunch of strangers in a cooking newsgroup is an exercise in
futility.

The idea that someone calls me and I have to pay for it is very weird
to me. But I hardly use a mobile phone, so what do I know?

Gary, on second thought: when your mother calls, don't let her keep
you on the phone for 500 minutes, because you'd blow your allowance
for the month!

Same for texts. When I got my first "smart" phone, I received some spam
texts that would have cost me if I hadn't protested.
My basic plan is for X minutes, which I have never exceeded ( I have no
idea what the number is).

My first cell phone was a Tracfone flip phone, after it died I bought a Tracfone
smartphone from HSN with 1500 minutes of talk and text time. The 400 minutes
or so of the original phone rolled over into that new service. I renew service once
a year with the bare minimum minutes I can purchase for $50. This saves me from
buying a minutes card every month or few months.

My contract is a fixed rate per month, with unlimited calling and texting.
It's a lot more expensive than these "minutes" plans, but I'm willing to pay
for the convenience of never running out, never adding minutes, etc. My
mother's phone is also on my contract, and it's well worth it to know that
when she needs an Uber, she doesn't need to worry about whether her
phone will do the job.

I prefer a Snickers.

Sheila was a populer girls name in the late 40s early 50s.

The idea of letting a kid choose his/her gender role sounds like a good one. In the end, the kid will choose one anyway. I never raised my daughter to be a girly girl. In the end, she chose it for herself.

This doesn't fit anyone's 'concept' of "Southern Pulled Barbecue" and
don't claim it does.

Since you are cursed with reading comprehension I'll risk repeating myself
ONCE AGAIN. It's probably a great recipe but don't even attempt to call
a crockpot pork roast "Southern Pulled Barbecue." If you post a meatloaf
recipe and try to pass it off as beef tenderloin I'll call foul on that as well.
But you can search high and low and this is just about the only recipe I've
ever criticized for claiming it to be something it's not.
 
I am not responsible for what others post claiming it to be when it's
genuinely not. You'll have to take that up them.

Cornered about what?? Show me where I'm cornered. I answered her fair
and square and truthfully. If she or you can't accept it that, then y'all will
have to deal with my replies best you can.

Post something coherent, intelligent, and cooking-related here?
 
One thing you absolutely need to do is fuck off out of here and never
return.
