...the other issues I am having with FF are still a drag, particularly it not saving passwords and rejecting the login for my Norton password locker (that has to be some sot of Javascript issue) Realt trying to avoid tempting fate by using into Chrome,
Yeah, I either need to win a 5 spot Megabucks prize or discover that a long lost uncle or aunt left me enough to get the parts I need.
@SilverGirl, have you tried diabetic socks, that is socks for people with diabetes not socks with diabetes, they tend to have smooth seams and not as tight as feet issues are common among diabetics. Note I don't have diabetes but do know people who do, hence the knowledge about special socks.
,..I always go online in public mode otherwise I get spammed by adverts and pop ups.
As to the latter I pretty much figured it was Norton 360 as it has its own password locker which likely is causing the conflict. However the sign in issue to the Norton PW lockerm when it doesn't occur in Chrome, is another matter.
I have not! But now I'll hve to look into that! Thank you!
Yep, "Diabetic Socks". I've been using them for years. Very comforable. I started using them long before I was diabetic. Lately I get them via Amazon.
Complaint: Well, I should have taken action last year. Xfinity/Comcast just hit my trigger limit now. My bill for Jan 2026 is $199.12! That has had me investigating my older bills and what they are providing and my optiions. When the Xfinity store opens today I will be talking to them and cancelling Comcast side of the bill and making sure their 'equipment included' line reflects that they DO NOT provide me any equipment. I get Fast internet from them and it is adequate for our needs. As for Comcast, well I will sign up for YouTube TV. The few channels I watch are all offered on the base plan. And I can still watch on my iPad, iPhone and the new TV although I may have to negotiate with the cats over which YouTube channel we are watching. They bite (Simon), I don't. They take possession and shed on my pillows, I brush their fur. Guess who may win.
Whatever happened to phone/cable utilities at around $8.00/month? I remember that from the 70s/80s. Internet was what in the 90s? I know that when I first came back to the USA from Britain I couldn't afford cable for six months. Moving costs and how pricey it was just kept me from it.
Internet was bzzzzEEEEoooooooBRRRAAAAACKeeerrrrrrHOOOOOrrraaaaaaaaaNEEEEE
*please go through please go through please go through -*
"YESSS!!!"
....and then somebody picks up the phone and it's gone.
When we went from dial-up to cable, I was like "Well, heck! If the page loads that fast, when am I going to have time to go make tea?"
...okay, just out of curiosity, I went back to some old bill statements. I'm not sure why I couldn't find my Comcast stuff from when I first moved in, but I found a payment record from the following year (2006) for $58.10 for internet + "Basic" cable (just the main channels... PBS and a couple others? I dunno, never watched them; just had them because the bundled discount was cheaper than just internet).
I am back from Xfinity and it was easy to get Comcast turned off. Of course I have to pay the full bill, but I am assured I will get it back and it will be prorated back. And the young lady at Xfinity worked her heart out in the nicest way to upscale my internet for my phone and get me to trade in my iPhone 12 Pro Max for $700 and possibly my flatmate added to my account. I thanked her, explained I liked my phone, and my flatmate and I were not that close, but friends who shared a place to save money. And I just paid and will be paying for dental bills in the $2000s. She saw my point. Came home and it was fairly easy to set-up the YouTube TV account and then on my TV, iPad and iPhone. That is saying something considering I can really get crazy with this stuff. I only have to figure out the Multiview option and changing channels on the iPad. And deal with it when a call comes in I have to take! I feel like a idiot again. Only 20 minutes late giving myself an injection of a med. Joy.
I can't renew my premier membership until next week. I also got to go back to work and clock in.
...a bit more expensive than boot socks but still a decent price for the better comfort, Thamks fo the reference. Looking at ordering the 2-Pack.

My landlady tried to say she is going to evict me in 13 days the other day. I looked it up and it is not legal for her to evict me without written notice and it can't be 13 days.
He reminds me of the doctor.
Thanks for the suggestion about socks. I've had issues in the last couple of years with sock manufacturers doing socks for UK shoe size 6-12 (7-13 US). If a sock fits a size 6 foot without being baggy it's going to be tight on a size 12. And I have very wide size 12 feet. So, in recent years it has felt as if my feet are being strangled by my socks.
Regards,
Richard

complaint: Little Dude keeps abandoning the tablets somewhere. I have not figured out where. We're now down two, and it's not even that big of a house. Where the heck are they??? (And yeah. That's the complaint I'm choosing to focus on right now. Because any other complaint tonight would violate forum rules. Wow I miss the days when my state was just known for inhospitable winters and calling carbonated beverages 'pop'.)
It's "Sock it to me time".
Complaint: Insurance just socked it to me.
My new Medicare Part-D drug prescription company just socked it to me with the deductable for my plan all in one big sock because the one drug (Xarelto) not covered 100% in my plan is just that expensive. $616.19 in January, then they'll do it again in July.
But otherwise "free", as well as "free" for all my other drugs too. Except for the $42.40 monthly premium
My previous plan was $500 twice a year, but they also charged $10 to $15 each month for a few other drugs partially covered during the year, along with a $75 monthly premium. One reason to learn math in school.
To measure your level of screwedness. Oy.
...The Sock It To Me Complaint Thread,
...in memory of the late Judy Carne
Hubby had prescription to be filled in 2025, but some newly hired moron messed up big time and accidently gave it to someone else? Kept getting the runaround, it's in, no it's not, yes it is, no it's not. So I drove there and demanded to see the manager. Filled it in 5 minutes and instead of the Zero deductible it would have been had she not messed up, now a new year starts with a 41% deductible costing us 730 for one medication. he's on 4. I guess the good news is we are closer to the 2100 deductible cap. I gave up drinking months ago to loose some extra pounds, but dealing with that pharmacy made my ears ring. My remedy was a bottle of pinot noir. I settled for 19 Crimes because I felt like committing one or more.
You may have checked these locations: couch cushions, below the couch and the sides, laundry hamper, kitchen cabinets, bedroom drawers, bathroom hidey holes, between towels that are stacked, in the garage/patio/breezeway/front stoop, between books on shelves, laying flat with games, or you can ask him flat out if he can help find the missing pads. Make it a game of hide and seek the pads.
Your state is still wonderful. My love and tears for you all. Colorado stands with you.

Non-Complaint: My dental surgery yesterday went from 1 hour to 4 hours. Nothing like old roots on three molars fighting their extraction. The doctor and his assistant were excellent. And I got to listen to a replay of N'Sync's music for the full time. Kind of surprised me. But it was pretty zippy and kept everyone moving in the building fast. Snow flurries outside, no accumulation, ground just wet. I walked out with a face looking like a chipmunk, stuffed with nuts, drooling blood. On liquids and soft foods for next few days until stitches set. And I woke with a headache that feels like someone slammed a pickaxe into my head. The miracle of chemicals and coffee is working slowly on me.
To wake to a new @Stonemason set, pure joy. Hit my cart fast. This was a good day for great products, just letting some time to calm my purchase craze to settle down before I pull the trigger. Six new items, and four older ones.
Thank you for the solidarity.
As for the tablets... unfortunately, asking where they (or anything) is just gets a blank stare. And yup, checked absolutely everywhere. I learned when Teen Kiddo was about 2 years old that logic isn't required for something to be somewhere... they lost their beloved stuffed bunny, and a multiple-hour search turned up nothing. We had to deploy the Emergency Backup Bunny from my folks' house. The next day, kiddo opened the one drawer I hadn't looked in because it was so full I couldn't imagine anything else going in... and there was the bunny.
Thankfully the tablet situation has been somewhat resolved for now... I recruited Teen Kiddo to keep an eye out. They looked everywhere and eventually announced that the House Fae must've run off with them. And less then a minute and a half after saying that, both tablets showed up in completely obvious places it would have been impossible to miss, and it couldn't possibly have been Little Dude who put them there because he was down the hall playing the opening snippit of one of his videos on a 10-second repeat.
And both of them were too charged up for how long I know he'd been playing with them before they disappeared. And the charging ports for them are all in my bedroom.
So anyway, happy ending, and next time I maybe just need to loudly announce in the middle of the room that I'd like them either returned or the kindness of some assistnce in relocating them somewhere obvious.
I'm not shocked, though. Weird stuff's happened around me since I was a kid, and Teen Kiddo has pretty much been that on steriods for their entire life. Once when they were about 1.5 I stepped into the bathroom and just about had a heart attack when they jumped out from behind the door giggling... because I had just left them playing in the living room to walk down the hall and pee. It's a narrow hall. There's no way for so much as a cat to get past without being noticed, let alone an entire toddler.
Keeps things interesting.
Okay, I just had a flash of a story running through my head with that. The Fae live still. I still believe that there is another dimension that can't create literature, so they open a door to our world and 'borrow' our items to read. Items are returned to areas not taken from. Socks also coveted, but not returned.
My mother's line only has pre-cognition passed to one child, her grandmother (Cherokee), her mother (Cherokee, Welsh, French, German) my mother (Irish, ?, Cherokee, Welsh, French, German), me [Scot, English, (Unk Nat. Am.), Irish, ?, Cherokee, Welsh, French, German], and weirdly enough my son [French and my mix]. I haven't heard if my granddaughter [My son's mix and Latina (unknown origin)] has it yet. It also means pretty much we suck at luck at lottery tickets.
I do sometimes wonder if all these devices with the ability to store thousands of books are dangerously destabilising the interface with L-space.
Complaint: I want to toddle up to the local grocery store this afternoon for salad greens, milk, bananas & some other fresh fruit, but despite the temperature being in the 50s(F) and warm enough to go without even a jacket, my driveway, which I have to cross regardless of which direction I leave my porch steps from, is solid ice covered with water. Zip..., one fall and I'll be the ancient one with a broken hip.
No thanks, I'll wait until next week when the temperature again goes below freezing, and snow returns and the driveway is at least navigable by foot, far enough to get me to a safe layer of snow to trod through. I guess my meals will be mostly canned goods, 'til then.
Non-complaint: But at least I still have homemade cookies. Mmmm... cookies!
Note To Self: Self, next year remember to arrange to get a big bucket of sand/gravel to keep on the porch to spread across the driveway for such situations.
I thought socks went to the Hose Zone. It's a tiny black hole either in your washer or dryer that takes one sock from a random pair per load.
They elope with the Tupperware lids.
