What specific problems are you having? The Mac Preview app can edit pdf files. If you’re using Safari for your browser and you’re not downloading...

You don’t have to keep a card on file for replenishment of your iPass. I certainly don’t and I live in IL. I just keep a close eye on my account via...

Another one: I’m sick of business management types telling me it’s MY fault that my workload is tough to handle when I’m gone. Same with coworker in...

Are you filling out documents on the browser or after you download them? Are they pdf or Word format files? It does make a difference.

Today I’m going to rant about the places that require you to fill out a form they provide via email or the internet, yet they don’t have the form set...

Haha. Glad to help! Can’t wait to hear from you after you’ve finished it.

Package of bright colored copy paper going to the Sunday school at church. Head teacher said she’d welcome any art supplies I wanted to donate. This...

I live in a condo but have my own furnace and water heater (both gas) and ac unit. My stove and clothes dryer are electric. Gas bill has been about...

Been about two weeks since I was grocery shopping. I was originally planning on going tomorrow, but we’re forecast to get a bunch of snow. I was then...

I heard a comment from Al Sharpton that made me laugh. It was pretty much “we worked hard to get black officers on the Memphis PD and they did THIS?”...

IL, sounds like fun. I always enjoyed Chris Rock. No clue who Chapelle is. I’ve only ever seen one comedy show in person. Jeff Foxworthy in the...

Tuition covered? Nice!

My trip to MX in August was just horrid for the travel part. Mind you, I hate to fly and hadn’t done it since 2015 when I went to Charlotte for a...

Rob, do you realize that straight white men aren’t the only ones who are into firearms? There are a number of gay men on my big gun forum. They lean...

That I did not know. Yes, everyone handling the guns was extremely negligent. Baldwin should have checked himself the gun was unloaded as soon as...

Good stuff! And I agree with sweetana about Spanish.

Difference between WIC and SNAP. https://www.benefits.gov/news/article/439

WIC is for pregnant women and kids up to 6, I think. You can get milk, cheese, juice, tuna, veggies, fruit, that sort of thing. It even specifies the...

Just a reminder that WIC already allows for only certain items. Food stamps/SNAP doesn’t.

For my iPhone 13, I generally use wireless charging for it. I have a case with circular magnet on the back. The round charger sticks to that. What’s...

Lightning connectors are the Apple proprietary ones. They’ve been around for a while now. My 2015 MacBook Air takes a MagSafe magnetic connector. I...

My 13 still takes lightning connector. The only thing that’s usb-c is my new iPad 10.

I had an 8 plus. It was not holding a charge very well either last summer. I got a 13. Regular size, not the big Pro model. I’m going to suggest a...

Sounds like you need a new phone. I love digital stuff.

If I remember correctly, other people had refused to work on the set due to the lack of firearms safety rules. If that I’d true, then there was a...

Mine was from 2016. Just a cheapo from Target.

Did you ever read Tolkien? Read that in high school and that’s what got me into fantasy.

The sci fi comes in a later book, a prequel. The dragons were genetically engineered from the native fire lizard, which can chew fire stone and flame...

TV handed off last night to someone from Buy Nothing group.

Have you read much other sci fi/fantasy before? I used to read a ton of fantasy. Pern is a weird mix of sci fi/fantasy.

And how is that Pern book coming along?

Friend’s wake was today. My WI diving instructor (the canoe lady) was there, as well as plenty of diving buddies as well as diving friends (never...

I’m sick of people thinking EVERYTHING is a conspiracy these days. Egg prices are so high. Conspiracy! When you mention avian flu and many chickens...

An elderly friend needs a knee replacement at age 80. She won’t get it. A friend died of complication from knee replacement surgery at age 70. I’m...

Posted my non-smart 2016 flat screen 24” TV for someone to take. I’ve not watched it since June.

Dupe

I avoid stairs at all costs. I don’t go anywhere I will have to walk any distance. That means museums, anywhere in Chicago where you have to walk...

Actually the Buy Nothing group is much easier for me than donating. I don’t have to lug stuff anywhere.

Tybee, if you can, don’t go shopping. Get it delivered if you can or do pickup. Now is the time to use Amazon or order from wherever else online. If...

Got rid of a good bit of canned goods, pasta, etc. Went to a family with 3 boys. I had posted my InstantPot, which I hardly use, the mother took it....

I LOVE retro kitchens. Keep the cabinets and paint them. Add new appliances as needed and likely new countertops. I agree with jp it is wasteful.

If you’re looking for some way to get exercise, check out this under desk cycle. I use it in my comfy chair in the living room. You can get quite a...

Did doc suggest anything to put on your knees? I can highly recommend BioFreeze. Menthol based. Makes my knees functional.

Yes, I know too many who struggled even before the current situation, so if they had a few hundred in savings, that was a lot.

Got rid of about 20 books on Buy Nothing group today. Went through kitchen cabinets as I had a lot of stuff I wasn’t interested in anymore. Waiting...

These people I see online were struggling long before Covid and the current inflation situation. The women are always trying to find something to do...

Another funny from the frugality groups on FB: People bellyaching about how much it costs to raise their families of 4-8 kids. OMG, my electric...

Wow. Gorgeous.

They could always call it a “pitch” like the Brits do for soccer.

Sold four diving books.

Just listed a bunch of stationery, a kettlebell, and a Garmin GPS unit on local Buy Nothing group.

Google Maps really pissed me off when I was driving to/from FL in December. Wanted me to go through Atlanta, which is the worst way due to...

Not going to give that up, sorry.

I use my phone for everything. Have a new iPad and I’m transitioning to it for when I’m at home.

Google Maps now will tell you how fuel efficient a route is.

Thank you. Friend was cave diving solo, which is a definite no no, but even if he had a buddy, if you have a heart attack underwater, the odds are...

It’s beginning to look like it might have been a medical issue. There’s usually a lot of scuttle butt going around if deaths were caused by something...

A report was just released on what happened. https://nsscds.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Roaring-River-2022.10.14.pdf

Picked up Mercedes Lackey’s Arrows trilogy last night. First discovered it in the early 90s with the rest of her Valdemar books. Had it and the next...

I’ve been doing a lot of eggs for dinner. Easy and quick. Sauté veggies and maybe some cut up ham in skillet in butter, then I add 3 eggs beaten with...
