What differences are there between Sam's Club and Costco? I'm a Sam's member but a Costco is opening near me soon. Is there a difference?

Time for a new phone. My last phone was a Samsung S22, which I bought in 2022 as part of a carrier deal with AT&T. Three years ago I started a 36-month contract that made the phone free after 36 monthly bill credits. But the reality of that plan is that if I lost or accidentally destroyed my phone at any point during those 36 months, I would still have to pay the whole thing off at the full MSRP. I didn't pay for phone insurance because that would have negated the "free" nature of the phone. So now that the three years are up, I'm ratcheting down the level of phone I'm getting and paying cash for a new phone worth half of what the Samsung was financed for. If I lose this phone, that's on me but since the phone is paid for it's not as big a setback as if I lost the Samsung. So that's my May.

It's April...that wonderful month when the soft-serve cones return from their winter hibernation.

So just how bad are these "ides" I hear about? Enough with the ides; I got enough problems already. Last thing I need is a trip to Wikipedia to see that "ides" are some kind of bad humors or some other medieval crap. On the bright side, I got one of those bird feeders with a camera on it so I see cardinals eight times a day.

I saw my shadow, so at least six more months of posting on this thread.

January 5th...too late to say Happy New Year? What's the cutoff?

Did you need to stand still longer to get a picture to show stars? Does your phone camera have a setting?

Let me go on record by saying I'm sick of shoveling the weather off of my driveway.

I almost missed this month...but I didn't.

Love the $5.98 Sonic Robot with the eerie sound.

Thanks for the prize! Always unexpected and always a gang of fun.

I'm getting it done early so I don't do it late. HAPPY SEPTEMBER ALL

Could everyone stop touching the thermostat? I had the earth set at 76 and I KNOW someone fooled with it cos it's been like 90 for at least a month

July is here--another month of property maintenance and the occasional beer.

Welcome to June. That is the entire message.
