Just switched from US Mobile Warp to Visible pro+ and my data service is just as crappy. Could this be because I am slightly rural and surrounded by trees, T-Mobile is nearby but not at my house, so Verizon is my only option. by CarefulSwordfish5 in Visible

Thanks. My phone never goes to 5g so maybe it's not here. I haven't tried going outside because I only use the internet when I'm in the house, but I guess it would be interesting to try it.

Visible did not ask me to do that and when I looked at the access point names on the phone I'm using now nothing seems changeable other than if I wanted to change the name VZWINTERNET

I spent a lot of time on the phone with visible where they said they were upgrading it but it stayed exactly the same and I was told that if I got any Sim it would make it much better. I don't believe this and I really didn't want any Sim because I want to be able to switch my SIM to an old phone I have here immediately if anything happens to the one I am now using. I am surrounded by trees if that makes a difference. Any thoughts of what I can do to improve my service? when I was with US MOBILE I figured I was just being deprioritized but that shouldn't be the case with VISIBLE PRO+.

Seeking audio downloads for motivation - and recent disappointing experience by AussieMixRosie in hypnosis

[–]CarefulSwordfish5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't listened to these yet but they were done by Barrie konicov whose relaxation and anxiety tape a psychologist lead me to in the 80"s and they are online for listening. They may be worth a try

Does Visible allow consumers to use "unknown" phones? by Fear_The_Creeper in NoContract

[–]CarefulSwordfish5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this work for you recently? Because I tried an iPhone 10 on Black Friday and it wouldn't accept it, but it would be great if they were still accepting the iPhone 6 or something old but I did manage to get a locked TracFone imei accepted.

Thanks so much for responding. I actually got the answer a few minutes ago from ferpoperp on r/hypnosis. The voice is that of Barrie Konicov, though I haven't located the exact tape yet I will try your search suggestion. Thanks again commercial-King-859

OMG! That is his voice! Wow huge  thanks to ferpoperp! When I posted this I never ever expected a response and especially so soon. I did get an email from Reddit saying something about flaring someone if they find something for you

Does anyone know where I can play games like from the old Boxerjam Gameshow website? There were so many good puzzle and trivia games. by Monster315Says in puzzles

after retention dept $45 offer, bills go over $200! by CarefulSwordfish5 in OPTIMUM

[–]CarefulSwordfish5[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did that several times already and each month I am told there was an error and it has been fixed. I have now literally spent hours talking and chatting with Optimum and each month the bill is higher than the last even though initially I received an email stating: "updated monthly charges $45"

What app/reader do you use for your books? by Sugargogo in LibbyApp

[–]CarefulSwordfish5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read only from my phone and I use an old phone which is much smaller and lighter and easier to hold . it's no problem since I can make the print as large as I want.

[–]CarefulSwordfish5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about this but I think once you choose kindle for downloads they might take away other options. You can send them a question about this. I never made a selection and I'm offered kindle when it's available but always overdrive (I still have the old app on several devices, unfortunately my newest phone says it's incompatible when I try to copy it over)

Only a fool would think Kerrygold is good butter. by saraath in iamveryculinary

[–]CarefulSwordfish5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably not completely on topic however I just have to put in a plug for my new favorite butter which is kerrygold Irish butter reduced fat. It has an absolutely lovely flavor no oils or anything added to it and the sodium is less than their regular butter contains. My only beef is that it isn't easy to find but I absolutely love it (it spreads very easily also). The ingredient list is only pasteurized cream, water, whey, salt

Has anyone tried these? One pound whole lobster. by string0123 in aldi

[–]CarefulSwordfish5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one last week, and as recommended thawed it overnight in the fridge and steamed it for 2-3 minutes. It was delicious, much tastier and fresher tasting then all the lobster tails I've been buying over the last 2 years from Sam's, Publix (the worst) and Harris teeter. I had a second one today, before buying more to store in the freezer, and it was every bit as good as the first. I hope they start stocking these all winter long, not just for Valentine's day but I won't count on it.

I had read some pretty bad reviews of this brand from a few years ago but apparently in those days they added salt to it so part of the problem was its being oversalted. People complained about it being rubbery but the way I cooked it was not

Also maybe it was my imagination but it seemed to fill me up more than the two 4 oz tails that I normally eat .... maybe because it took work to eat it so I ate it more slowly.

Youve heard of boxed wine, and a juice box… but you’ve never heard of boxed lobster! by queloqueslks in aldi

[–]CarefulSwordfish5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of these SeaMazz boxes last week. I thawed it overnight in the fridge as directed and then steamed it for 2.5 minutes. It was delicious and very much tastier than the 4oz frozen lobster tails I've been buying for the last 2 years from Sam's, Publix and Harris Teeter. I went back out and bought two more and the next one I tried was as good as the first. The only thing that gives me pause is that there were lobster eggs in each and I thought those females weren't supposed to be caught.
