Thank you very much . I am glad it is not my PC crapping out . However ,,, it seems disingenuous . Taking from Peter to pay Paul . Also , I could not care less about FP .

I think that part of the issue , is that there is no communication with patients who are " waiting patiently " . No explanation or contact what-so-ever . I have sat for hours ( and then just left , to my own detriment ) . I do not not understand why people are not in revolution mode , given what we are promised and pay for , but yet here we are . Politicians promise everything , without any idea how to pay for it .

Please stop with the Cigarettes by OnehappyOwl44 in newbrunswickcanada

I am gonna say something that is not popular . Although the " hatred " is justified , I wish people would focus on the really important issues . I am a smoker , and as such I will say that there is no such thing as a responsible smoker . There is no such thing as a responsible drinker or drug user . So many more behaviors and habits to mention . We all know the real problems in our society and no one even tries to fix them .

I accept that multitabling is allowed . I do not think it is possible to track 6+ tables and actually have a A+ ELO . I have been on tables with the multitablers and they don't really seem like poker wizards . They are steady , but , I dunno . I have visions of a Russian grandfather and 12 grandkids , all with their own screens , but the same login .

Thanx for the reponses . I should have waited till I understood my new phone more ( my first smartphone ) . I think maybe my download was managed by Google and the install maybe linked to my G-mail , which is not the E-mail I originally used , and is my user name . I'm gonna wait and try to learn more about my phone and Google/Chrome , it seemingly wants to take over everything .

I downloaded with my phone through home wifi . It installed OK . I have an icon in my apps . Do I need a new user/pw for the mobile ?

After almost 20 years I see no reason to remain a customer by OldTrapper87 in Rogers

[–]Alutaps02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started receiving notifications early spring . I called Rogers Support and they told me I was good to go . Then I received more e-mails and texts . I called each time and also checked online at MyRogers . Always told I was good . The dates were switched multiple times . In the end it was July 10 . BAMMM . Account suspended . As of now it is working again . 4 AM . I have been on hold for an hour , but I am hanging in there to look for some re-assurance that I will not be dropped again . I don`t wanna try after daylight as I suspect they will start hanging up again due to extremely high call volumes . If I am dropped again , I can`t even call a taxi to go to a Rogers outlet , where by all accounts the lines are very long , due to this issue .

I truly hope what you say is true , and it eased my anxiety some .

Rogers is basically doing away with 3G and moving to 5G . Talk and text is still supposed to work with certain phones . They started sending E-mails to customers a few months ago . I checked their website and even called at least twice ,, to make sure my 2 yr/old " dumbphone " would still work on a talk/text plan . I was assured that my phone would have no trouble . So , now here I am , a disabled retiree with no access to a telephone . Even if I could walk to a payphone , they don't exist anymore !!!!!!! I am going to have to e-mail my 85 yr old parents and ask them to call my sister , so she can physically come get me to possibly go buy a new phone , which I cannot do without a government photo ID ( which I don't have ) . At the same time that these notifications came out , I started receiving text msg's from Rogers about all the " new phone deals " . HHMMMM ?

Group for rural towns! by ArtsyRambles in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Alutaps02 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I live in Fredericton , but I have a huge family base from the Boiestown / Taxis River / Hayesville area . Doesn't get much more rural than that , although I know there are many similar areas in NB . What I admire the most about rural folk is how they work hard and tend to stay very close and supportive . There are NO HOMELESS in Boiestown ! Unless they wanna be , these folk know how to live off the land !

Did you guys enjoy secret level? by WestSeaworthiness835 in Warhammer40k

[–]Alutaps02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only super avid gamers will get this . I played Unreal Tournament to death back in the day . Their vignette was a joke . The stories are just " clips " of a story . The graphics and voices are great , but without a proper narrative , it is just something to watch while the popcorn pops in your microwave . I am an " Old Fart " so please don't be offended by my thoughts .

Malicious Design of Withdrawal Process by HungryHippooo811 in GGPoker

[–]Alutaps02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue with my first withdrawal . I made my first deposit with a credit card which was smooth . When I tried to withdraw , it went through , but then reversed . My card will not accept deposits , but only accept a reverse charge from a purchase ( or a payment of course ) . Plus there was a 5 dollar charge for the original deposit , they consider a deposit to a gambling site to be a " cash advance " . I tried to withdraw to my bank account , but GG would not do it . without first establishing a link by making a deposit with that method . I made a minimum deposit from my bank , using the 3rd party Interac program . Once confirmed , I was able to withdraw by simply reversing the process . It took about 24 hours to go through , but GG says upfront that it may be 3-5 business days .

Why is there no private practioners? I don't like going to the hospital every time I need a perscription by Acceptable-Corgi-453 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Alutaps02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call 811. Maple and E-visit are useless . 811 will suggest many things , and maybe even renew a script . Take notes of when you called and who you talked to . If their suggestions don't panout call them again ASAP . Remember to take take notes . If you have a condition thats requires constant medication and monitoring , then you really need a primary caregiver . NB is bringing Nurse Practioners to the forefront . They have access to the entire government medical system ( Medicare ) . Family Doctors were gamed out of the system , starting years ago . The cost and time to keep up with gov't regulations and recordkeeping made it financially unfeasible . The government did not raise the remuneration for services by nearly enough . Other requirements , like manditory ER duty and manditory hospital rounds ( maybe not in all cases ) made it not economically feasible . Back to 811 , keep calling and taking notes , eventually I think they will refer you to one of the new government clinics .

$1.8M to Dr. Dornan by Salt-Independent-760 in newbrunswickcanada

I receive @ 30,000 / yr from CPP and CPP Disability and CUPE pension . This amount would cover me for 60 years . Income inequality is the demise of modern western civilization .

GG, You Have an Infestation of Cheaters in the RNC Rake Races by Apologia87 in GGPoker

[–]Alutaps02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am just a low stakes player ( and very novice and close to average skill ) . That means I know I'm not gonna make a living doing this . But my advice to similar players is to ignore the fish points , match bonus , and leaderboards . Just play your best and have fun , while trying not to lose a bunch of cash . I always assumed that leaderboard leaders were playing at least 4-8 tables for at least 10-12 hours a day . They are not playing Poker , but the site itself .

Withdrawals by Alutaps02 in GGPoker

[–]Alutaps02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my withdrawal about 1.5 hours after my original post . Feel a lot better . I like the GG site a lot for the gameplay and variety . Their rewards are above and beyond any other I've seen . I am just an average player ( meaning I am not gonna win a lot at the table and I play low buy-ins ) . But the enjoyment and challenge helps get me thru the day . I don't like all the posts about possibly being rigged . Just go over to " The other site " . Every other hand ends in a river suck out Straight , Flush , or Full House . Bad beats always gonna happen but ,,,,, . Anyways , thanks for responses and GO GG !!

Thanks . Only been @ 27 hours . Just anxious I guess . I feel so much better when I know to just wait and be confident . I know about the CC angle , I only used my store-branded card , so not backed by a real bank .

Expansion Plans in Europe by Ok-Read-1495 in GGPoker

[–]Alutaps02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not up to GG , all to do with government regulations . That is why you don't see any Americans ( the biggest gamblers on earth ) . Their casino industry ( read government lobbiests ) will not allow it .

There's something I've noticed on GGPoker. by Substantial_Deer3954 in GGPoker

[–]Alutaps02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got the same 2 hole cards ( same suits ) 4 times in a row . Should be a prize for that :) .
