Please make sure if you see something that you Google whatever model and your service provider NOT just general product reviews. Might just be a Comcast issue but it's aggravating to find that suggested items are basically a waste of money due to their own failure to make necessary updates or maintain needed speeds etc

Thanks. Never been a fan of refurbished though

Going through the files on this old laptop and finding spreadsheets from the BF charts years ago, 2011 maybe along with my shopping excel sheets Fun times. Hopefully I'll have a new laptop before black friday otherwise that'll be on my to do list. This brick weighs double as much as my soon to disappear work laptops, runs Windows 7 awfully and is super slow. I'd say its probably double the size too. Crazy how technology keep improving. Thankful my phone does most things, a laptop would just be a convenience mostly

Sending love and good juju. I think for me it just all flew under the radar for years because Doctor's have been blaming everything on my RA or just sweeping things under the rug because I was functioning. If we're honest I hadn't been to primary care doctor in years but I expected Rheumatologist to catch things like constantly high blood pressure and question my ALT/AST numbers if they were continually getting worse.

July......unemployment begins in 10 days, have a liver biopsy in 9. Needless to say brain is all discombobulated trying to figure out what I need to print and what I can make do without, trying to consolidate as much info as I can and just generally trying to get my act together and just generally in shock. EVERYTHING really does fall apart after 40. I'm taking being laid off as a blessing but also FULLY aware this isn't like the last time I was laid off over 13 years ago and got unemployment extended. Looking up a new printer and laptop as my last laptop was bought with tax return after LAST being laid off as kinda struggles to even start up.

June......The beginning of scorchy and hurricane season in Florida.

I don't think we've lost any Macy's locally but I know Joann's is always dead on the off chance I drop in to collect sale stuff ordered online. I'm probably cheap (by most standards) AND spoiled by sales of yesteryear WITH the tendency to overbuy when I see good deals but prices most places are outrageous to me and the quality has gone down too. I've never cared for labels so I'm usually looking for good quality, functional items and the lowest price available and lately my recent clothing purchases have been mostly sportswear type stuff from BJ's clearance. The air fryer we bought at Walmart preBF sale has been a lifesaver and worked amazingly (I remember struggling to decide between that cheaper one, an Emeril and something from Kohls all with several sketchy reviews). At this point I'm just grateful not to NEED much because everything is off the chain. Hell, fast food isn't even worth the stop unless you have an app with decent offers and even then today I heard some have ridiculous terms that limit liability. The way I look at it, I use it rarely enough that it doesn't really matter but earlier someone brought up the coffee scalding thing wouldn't have been covered. Worst I've had is the wrong food or cancelled order and I just demanded refund to original payment. I'm still trying to figure out how we're supposed to get ahead paying the suggested prices on everything with current wages and the cost of gas, food and rent increasing. Where/how/when did everything go haywire?

I FEEL this one in my bones. Comcast has been a hot mess since they claimed a router change was needed a couple years ago now. Consistently disconnecting etc, making us go over AT&T data almost monthly and resulting in SUPER slooooooooow service, making streaming to avoid the extra $10 box fee ridiculous and making long distance sketchy with no idea if internet will pick up to give me driving directions. I'm starting to wonder if it's our older extenders but also so overwhelmed with life that trying to find suitable replacements is not really happening. ALSO....I think they sent another equipment upgrade email a while ago, where this could be months to going on a year. Plus looking at bills, they're back up to $254. Starting to wonder if it's time to cut them off but then my mom watches and records all her food network shows etc so I'd feel bad.

May is starting off badly Pup doesn't have many days left and I'm dreading having to make the decision. I don't want her to suffer but also don't want to do it too soon.

Here's to a restful week after a couple of gnarly ones.....

Sorry for your loss @Reinholt1. It's March. Thankful that other drivers insurance is paying to fix my car and rental.

Finally February! Excited and anxious to hear out on my yearly music cruise tomorrow Hopefully the pup behaves for my mom while I'm gone.

Happy New Year! Wishing blessings and good fortune to all

Thanks again @Brad! Long recap below if anyone cares to read. To begin with, my bff thought I was entering the contest. Then went through all the things: shock, scam, disbelief, etc. The tracking got iffy after it was received by carrier and I was questioning if it had been disappeared until it reappeared locally day before delivery-- a day earlier than expected. I was able to get the controller charger on sale at Target but the controllers were harder. I stalked the BJs website for days until first a failed instore pickup order and then a couple orders for delivery ONLY to find out it takes a max of 4 so scrambled to find another. Bff started today with their smaller gifts until I arrived just before 9am. Then she reminded them they'd missed stockings. They got ps5 games but don't own a ps ANYTHING so were between Moms an idiot (younger) or we're getting one in the New Year (Older). I let them settle down and come back together and told them to open their gift. Older boy kinda drags box. This is heavy, I can't pick it up. Younger one starts ripping paper and isn't reading at all just making stuff up. Older one sees box but swears it's a hoax so I hand them the other bag with the accessories. And the ball drops, and they allow themselves to get excited as they open the controllers and charger and stand and THEN I get extra hugs before they..... have to call their friends to boast Apparently they were just discussing last night how they'd never get a PS5. At some point bff's mom calls and they tell her and so now I'm the "best godmother" so there's that too.
-
Any luck with these? Aside from a slight panic after ps5 shipped and wasn't scanned until local, so far so good. Just last minute ordered a stand since everything's been hectic and not sure if bff has ordered one-- but it's Amazon and says 22nd
-
In my mind this was last weekend (up until right now), I was just assuming a continuation of mostly non deal flash sales
-
Not seeing anything
-
Just wanted to say all the pictures bring a little joy and a smile to my face. I thought about joining this year but knew life would be too hectic to put the care I would've liked into my SS gift. So happy to see the tradition carrying on!
-
Bff is in shock since they've been begging for it forever She's told me I'm not allowed to spend another penny on them which I think is unfair since technically I haven't except for the controller charging station I picked up at Target yesterday I do what I want.....
-
The godkids will be so ecstatic! Thank you thank you thank you! Now to figure out what games/ accessories to add in.
