    Dave's Faster Internet Pursuit, Chapter Umpteen: Hope Springs Eternal But Is Lucy Holding That Football Again? It is not reassuring when the chat agent tells me I can rest assured. Info at 10:34, Jul 17: Thank you for contacting CenturyLink. A sales and service consultant will be with you in...

    To me they do, but I've got really tolerant taste buds. Some might say I have no taste, but that's not true. :lol:

    I agree, but visitation by kids or strangers is very unlikely for me. Not around here they don't. Food Lion is the only place I know of that has the bins. When I take my bags there, I've done everything I can do to help, so I sure HOPE (or perhaps I should say HDPE) they get recycled. I'm...

    Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

    I use freezer tape or golf grip tape, wrapped at least one full turn around the bottle with at least some overlap. The golf grip tape works better than the freezer tape because the freezer tape tends to slide on the bottle, regardless of whether the bottle is glass or plastic. I use Sharpies...

    Food Lion, a food chain local to me, also has a bin outside each store for the recycling of plastic bags and any type of plastic film. It's a good thing. Movie review: Indecent Proposal; Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Robert Redford, 1993. It's a 25 year old movie but I'd never seen it before...

    I wouldn't miss this even for the funeral of a close friend or relative; they'd just have to reschedule or deal with my absence. Wimbledon Women's Singles Final, starting on ESPN right now. Serena Williams vs Angelique Kerber. The conclusion of the Men's Semifinal between Novak Djokovic and...

    If something was simply repaired, then I should not have been charged for a tech visit. Ten Mbps service is what I had before. If ten Mbps service is what I STILL have, then there should have been no charge because no change of service was actually done. If it's true that the tech wrote in his...

    There definitely are aspects of the situation that remain unresolved. Whatever was or wasn't done, it is a fact that my download speed is now faster than it was before July 2.... I've been in the habit of checking the speed quite frequently, and it now is usually between 5 and 9 Mbps...

    One hour and 44 minutes connected to CenturyLink chat on this Friday the 13th. It did not drive me crazy, because after a few minutes I was definitely close enough to walk. It starts getting crazier once Felix transfers me. It was hilarious. If you're in just the right mood and you don't have...

    I like the name that Legs and Ginny had already discussed between themselves, for the reason stated in the first part of this sentence... and also because I think it's a good username.

    From mushrooms, tomatoes, celery, chicken or asparagus, how in the world do soup companies manage to extract cream?

    The Womper Woom, Womp it again Sam.

    Barbie is clearly anorexic, sacrificing tomorrow's health and longevity for wolf whistles today. :) Comparing the harshness of 3 mg/ml nicotine to the harshness of 35 mg/ml nicotine is like comparing apples to elephants. JMHO. I have mixed using unflavored nic salt liquid at my usual nicotine...

    I do not want to see anyone get in trouble, and that's why I am mentioning this. Even if all you're asking for is the postage amount to mail vape merchandise, it's against the rules to talk about it here. The only place where you can mention such things is in the Pay It Forward thread. Somebody...

    There are 2 things you can do that don't involve changing to a different flavor. Either of these things will create dramatic increases in vape smoothness. 1. If you're not already at the maximum amount of VG that you can stand, increase the VG percentage. 2. Use nic salt liquid nicotine. The...

    Shoot, Legs. If it isn't convenient to hand her the mop and dust rag, it would be entirely sufficient to tell her to go and purchase them. Wait for her to ask "where?" before you suggest Costco or The Dollar Store. I do agree, though, that she might pleasantly surprise you with her actual...

    Billy Bob is one strange dude... guess I'll check out Goliath too. I can't remember what show it was, but there was a TV comedy series that Thornton was in MANY years ago where I first saw his acting. I got caught up on Catastrophe. Watched all 3 seasons in between Friday and today... just 6...

    That is not news to me. However, there's the caveat that if the failure was due to damage caused by me, then I would have to pay for the service call. I gave up the protection plan less than 3 months ago that would have covered any damage, regardless of who or what was to blame. At least for a...
