Never, if possible. I conceded to my girl girlfriend 2 years ago, and replaced my very dilapidated mattress. It was horribly sagged and ripped on the passenger side, due to my previous girl friend's use. My side was still fine. Anyway, my current gf pointed out that her girl friend was...

Old school here. I have radios all over my house. I listen to AM talk shows, and turn the volume off during commercials. Also listen to the classical station if it is on, since it usually has music I like, and no commercials. Also listen to rock or jazz sometimes. Also local college stations...

Ugh, you had to mention it. :)

Yes. There is a couple, both nice folks, that I have lunch with every so often, at a social group. I try to avoid eating with them since they both do the open mouth, food on the lower lip, smacking, talking with food showing thing. Ugh. :sick: Of course I can't bring myself to mention it.

Annoying to see athletes and even coaches spitting in plain sight of everyone, and the cameras. Even some pro golfers do it (for example, Tiger Woods). Really, Tige? Are you that macho? Why? Are they chewing tobacco for an extra jolt of energy? Kind of gross, imo.

I met my current girl friend 3 years ago at a Salvation Army senior social group that meets weekly, with a $2 lunch afterwards. I had my eye on her for a while, thinking she was too hot for me, actually, with those long legs, long brown hair, and her graceful cat-like walk. It was when I saw...

The alarming thing, to me, about Britain is that simply criticizing Islam, as in saying you don't like some aspects of Sharia law, and you would rather not have Islam take over your country, can get you arrested, apparently. Definitely not free speech. But I would suspect criticizing...

I have (had) 100 meg which is way more than I need. My internet co just increased all the 100 meg customers to 200 meg, for free. OK, fine, just don't ask me for more money when the annual bump-up in rates happens next.

Liking this thread. Very informative. Here's my story. I have an MA plan through Highmark Blue Shield. Got the letter saying it was going away. Went to Medicare.gov and my exact plan was still there, lol. But significantly more expensive. Letter also said I 'may have the right' to enroll in a...

Mainstream normal average mom and pop folks in Britain are marching in a rally with TR because he is their main voice. The politicians don't want to hear from regular Brits who oppose mass illegal immigration.

HollyDolly, I saw the huge 'Unite the Kingdom' rally in London on TV Sept 13, which was led by Tommy Robinson. I thought it was inspiring, in that British citizens were speaking out about their free speech rights, notably their right to disagree with their government's policy of encouraging mass...

Haven't read all the replies. Single guy here, was mourning deceased gf. Joined a fitness club, paid for by SIlver Sneakerts 100%, and started pickleball. I was very shy, but I was very lonely too, so it was worth the discomfort. Met lots of people, some of whom are now 'pickleball friends'...

Good job, Knight. There are so many options out there, lol.

Just an update from the OP here. I called my current cable co and asked them for a price to add their cheapest VOIP land line plan to my bundle. It had way less local coverage , and the price was $25 per month, which is almost my current cost of $32. Not worth the $7 savings. Plus they had an...

Replying to Honeynut, Is it only the landline phone that is affected (do you get internet from them, will you lose a bundle price if you drop the landline)? The Verizon letter was only about the land line, yes. The land line is the only thing I have with Verizon. No bundle. I have an...
