    ...well MM's been somewhat of a bust so far.  Nothing but G8 Pro bundles being used to trigger extra savings.  70% bonus items have pretty much been all G8 as well (save for the tulips).  

    Missed the purple banner offer because of the connectivity issues yesterday. A number of us asked how long it would last, but we received no answer.  

    Connectivity woes still occurring today (just had another yellow triangle pop up on the connection icon while writing this). so I still have very short windows of opportunity to get stuff done on line.  

    Don't want to be still dealing with emails from the morning late tonight again, like last night. 

    I think that contractor shouldn't just cover our monthly bills for the inconvenience they have imposed, but also pay to take those poor ISP techs out to the best restaurant in town for dinner for the trouble they are putting them through by putting up of what amounts to a big "jamming antenna".  Can't be fun being up on top of a building or transmission tower trying to fix things in the gusty winds we have either.

    Non-complaint:  Wheee... small celebration lunch today because I'm rich again.smiley  I took another mini-adventure to Erie, PA and returned the new computer I that I had bought at BestBuy last Friday.  I'm satisfied that my old computer is running well again and I'll trust it for another year.  Returning the new computer still in its unopened box saved me the $800 so my savings account has been cured and I had my Tuesday uptown lunch at Outback Steakhouse in Erie.  Mmmm, yum, filet steak! yes  And they have that yummy baked sweet potato with butter & brown sugar and that wonderful tiny loaf of sweet rye bread.  Yummmm!!! heart  A worthy celebration lunch.

    My goldfish is looking at the top of the water as if that will bring more fish food into their tank.

    ...well in the "old days" when the phone sat on a table in the hall or living room with a wire going into the wall, you usually got the very basic "black" rotary dial model.  You actually didn't own it, just sort of "leased" it for the cost of local service and maybe a slight surcharge (which was higher if you went to a more fancy styled phone or service with extensions to multiple rooms). Where really they stuck you was with long distance and overseas charges.

    Yeah, I remember those. We had one when i was a kid. Nowadays, I have to have a computer that can launch satelites into space that fits in my pocket. And yet somehow will break every two years.

    Phones don't have to be expensive unless you want it to launch satellites into space and fit in your pocket.  indecision

    I have a cellphone that fits in my pocket, cost me $10 and I pay $7/month for service.  It can do texting (but I can't).  It can take pictures (but I don't). It can browse the Internet (for which I've paid a few dollars for a gigabyte of data 3 years ago and still have 90% of it left).  Did I mention that I don't talk on the phone very much and nobody worth talking to ever calls me on that phone, and the web browsing is like watching mollasses flow in winter? (do kids these days even know what mollasses is?)

    On the otherhand I have a landline phone in my house that provides my unlimited Internet and streaming TV service, let's me make my once a month telephone call, and provides a convenient way for scammers to contact me 4 times a day, and it costs me $107/month but the 3 station wireless phone did cost me $80 eight years ago.  The only reason I have a 3 station wireless phone in the house is that I might not make it to the phone in time if I have to move my body more than 10 feet. frown  (bedroom, desk, TV chair)  And I carry one of them to the bathroom with me in case I discover that "Help, I've sat and can't get up!" surprise

    I have one of these sitting on the window sill beside the wall socket,  It is fully useable. 
      
    I do also have a digital phone with a base station, which needs electricty to charge the battery as well as the wall socket, and yes the landline also provides my internet connection.
    The pretty phone is used during power outages. The wireless phone handset normally sits on my desk the other side of the room, except when it needs some oomph when it is dropped back into the base station

    I've had my Samsung Galaxy J3 for about three years, maybe four, I lose track.  And it only cost me a little over $100, maybe about $109...I've forgotten exactly how much now.  it's good for me.  I don't live on it, but I have good features.  Unlimited talk and text and 5GB data, which I've never come close to using.  Most of my data goes through my WiFi, so it doesn't use the data on the phone.

    dunno what acrimony means.  nor Alopecic,  Queen's english?

    who was King James king of, the one who wrote the bible

    what did charlemain do that made him so great?

    what made Robin's merry men so merry?

    Acrimony   means Ill feeling towrds something or someone    Alopecic is  Relating to or suffering from alopecia. Alopecia is hair loss.  The Queens English is the English language as written and spoken correctly by educated people in Britain

    King James VI and I   had the bible translated, hence the King James edition. It is the authorised version for the Englisjh Christian Church.

    Charlemagne's greatest acheiment was reuniting  most of Western Europe under one ruler for the first time since the fall of Rome.

    Merry men :-   due to changes in the meaning of the word merry we see it differently.  It used to have a much wider meaning   and being outlaws they are their own master, not slaving away for some wealthy landowner to make him even richer, so better of than normal serfs or peasants of the era.

    PS   I had better explain King James VI and I.  He was the sixth King James of Scotland when he became the 1st King James of England due to the union of the Scots and English crowns.

    ...hear hear.  I still have my old flip phone. When I was looking for a new Smartphone plan (so I could board the bus without carrying a wad of "exact change" in my pocket as our transit system did away with paper tickets and passes - welcome to the "inconvenient future" folks) I reactivated the old flip phone 15$ a month, I could still check bus arrivals (they had a number which I had on speed dial and all you had to do was enter the stop ID # where you were at), and like yourself don't text (I create new secret code ciphers when I try) or get many calls from anyone I really care to converse with.  If I didn't need the smartphone for the fare app and occasionally finding directions to someplace, I'd go back to the flip phone.  So much more compact to carry, I can put it in a shirt pocket and still have room for my glasses and a pen.

    ...71° in the 'hood right now, looking for a high of 76° this afternoon before falling back down to more usual conditions for here tomorrow (60° and wet).  Still a little breezy out (wish that would go away, at least for this afternoon) but being the first 70+ day have to pull a Hawai'ian shirt out of the closet and fo find some sun to sit in (that is protected from the wind).

    Tonight is the first night, Spring doesn't start until around 5:38 pm tonight, Eastern time.  Tomorrow will be the first full day of Spring.  Judging by the cold wind outside, I don't think New England knows that Spring begins tonight.  Although, the daffodils are popping up leaves already in my garden.

    RE: Merry men
    Can't this also mean that they were drinking a lot of ale, or whatever?

    Or gay? 

    Or a band of marriage officiants?  They had at least one. (Friar Tuck)  And don't give me the excuse that "merry" is spelled wrong.  We all know that spelling in English especially after 800 years has nothing to do with reality.  Witness "towrds", "Acheiment".  Point made! indecision
