Re: How can I block these dipsticks? - 11 months ago

I've tried to be removed from a multi person family message thread when they went all stupid on me but have yet to figure out how to do it. Like Tiangou said muting the notifications is about the best you can do. Someone said the message creator can remove a person.

Wife wants a Apple Watch Series 7 GPS but has an iPhone 6s - 11 months ago

She doesn't want to get a new phone and quite frankly I don't blame because it's been flawless. How viable is this combination going to be? I've read that since she can't go to iOS16 she may not be able to update the watch in the very near future. Any insight on this?

Are they all new movies? Watch one Hallmark Christmas movie and you've seen them all. If they would spend more time and money and make a few decent ones every year I might watch them.

Re: Geez, are ALL Republicans fascists? - 11 months ago

Quotewave rider QuoteGrateful11 Been reading Heather's columns for several years now. She knows what she's talking about. I really like her work. Always a good reminder that we repeat these ugly cycles… She seems like the kinda History professor I would've like to have had. I took a lot History classes in HS and some in college, takes a special person to keep me interested though.

Re: Feeling down? Remember what Howard Jones said - 11 months ago

Bought the 'Dream Into Action' CD when it came out. I was a early adopter of CD's. Pretty sure I still have it. HOWARD JONES - ''DREAM INTO ACTION'' (1985) Playlist 'No One To Blame', I think was his biggest hit.

Re: Are you bivalently boosted? - 11 months ago

I have a sinus infection and I go in for major surgery in two weeks. Was planning on getting it a week and half ago but it was a no go, not feeling well and an impending surgery. Was told by three professionals, my GP, my Pharmacist and the Pre-Op anesthesiologist to wait. Hate to be in the hospital with a year old booster but it is what it is.

No new AppleTV thread yet? - 11 months ago

Heard about a few hours ago. Not sure what they were thinking leaving the Ethernet connection off the cheaper model. That means an extra injection mold to make, unless they're milling out the cheaper shell during the production for the ethernet port. My 4th gen model is still handling everything I need it to do. 64Gb WiFi model $129 128Gb WiFi and Ethernet model $149

$3.39 in our part of NC. Had made it down to $3.16 and they jumped it over night to $3.49 the day of the OPEC+ rumor. A 2% cut in worldwide production translates into an instant approx. 10% increase, typical.
