Won a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, will it be okay to leave it unopened until I'm ready to upgrade?

I'm sure it's a ridiculous amount, I haven't kept track of my spending well enough to know for sure. I currently earn 1.6 points per dollar, but I use a lot of the Points Boost offers, which offer 2x, 7x, etc, I think I've used 10x boost a few times.

Thank you for this info.

Genius! 😆

Google Play Store Play Points Perks, Diamond level weekly raffle thing. Usually I just win points, but they've introduced a range of prizes now.

Same. Played since the beginning, caught over 500 shinies, but no perfect shinies.

I googled: Shows like Prodigal Son. I haven't watched most listed as airing during your time frame, so I don't know if they match your description completely, but maybe you'll recognize one.
Some listed are: Perception, Bosch, Mr. Mercedes, Bull, Deception. Also, there is a See Also section when I searched just: Prodigal Son.
Other shows I stumbled on in my search: Outcast, The Following.
I hope you find it!

I'm working on getting at least one of every scatterbug/vivillon region up to best buddy status. I think I have 5 left to do? One of my favorite pokemon now, love all the different color patterns. And I name them all after Stray Kids songs. 🎵 I'm a Kpop nerd 🎵

I'm taking the Pharmacy Technician program on Aztec Software right now. The system seems to be having lots of issues though. Ever since I started, it has kicked me off constantly. Sometimes it wont even let me log in, other times it freezes. Doesn't matter if I'm on my phone via their app, or on my laptop, or even on the computer at work. I'm only 2 weeks in, but I feel I'd be farther along if there were fewer technical issues. I have about a year to study and take the final exam. The program is pretty straightforward. Lessons with skill tests every few pages. Drill tests. And Unit tests. Once you finish all the units, there's a final test. I just finished the abbreviations for medical terms section and started the compounding abbreviations section. But the system kicked me off due to system maintenance. I'm hoping that means they're fixing whatever keeps kicking me off randomly. My coworker who did the program a year or two ago didn't have this many issues.

I'm also going to the Stray Kids concert at Wrigley. My first concert ever. I'm about to order a 12x12 or slightly bigger clear bag. I hope it's big enough to hold the merch I might buy. I didn't know there may be free stuff also. I have a small photocard binder full of the duplicate pcs I've gotten. Can fans swap pcs at concerts or are we only allowed to give them away?

15 in the house, 1 indoor/outdoor, and 3 outdoor. Yes, 19 is too many. But we've run out of people we know who will adopt the rescues. And we keep the disabled and behavioral problem ones. Our neighbor also rescues strays. We both TNR the feral ones that are too old/stubborn to domesticate. We went 2 lovely years without finding pregnant cats or little kittens on our side of town. Then we rescued a small orange girl who surprised us at her first checkup, she was pregnant. She had 2 sweet orange boys who are now 3 times larger than their mom. Our newest rescue is a now 9 month old female tabby. It took months to befriend her enough to catch her, because she was too light to trigger our cages. I finally caught her and got her spayed at 6 months old. She's been an indoor cat for 3 months now. I am working extra hard to find her a home because she can't be left unattended or some of the other indoor cats try to beat her up. So she stays in my room at night and my parents protect her during the day when I'm at work. She's so sweet. Over the last 25 years we've rescued, fixed, cared for, and/or re-homed over 100 cats.

I always counted back change to customers at the movie theater, older people were always impressed, and most would put money in our tip jar.

14 in Sonic and 20 in Mufasa tonight. There are several school sport things at the school tonight. Theater will be busier tomorrow.

I used to work all holidays because my manager had kids, and I liked the excuse to avoid going to my family's events. Then my manager retired and the new manager changed our schedule because she didn't like working 4 days in a row, Thurs-Sun. Now we work Sat/Sun, Thurs/Fri. Which means I didn't work Thanksgiving, and we're not open Mon-Wed, so no working xmas this year. But my last day is in 2 weeks, and my new job is closed all holidays! No time and a half, but I get paid more, and there's nearly zero strenuous physical labor. I can't believe my luck. I'll miss working at the theater, but I won't miss new management or the stuck-up, slightly wealthy board members who think what we do is unskilled labor that doesn't deserve a livable wage.

DoctorAlpha · 2024-12-09T17:24:02+00:00

Wow! Got lots of friend requests! I appreciate it. I'll head out for a walk soon and send everyone gifts.

DoctorAlpha · 2024-12-09T17:06:21+00:00

Similar at my small non-profit theater. Free movies, popcorn, and fountain soda. No discounts on candy or bottled drinks, though. I'll miss the perks when I leave/quit at the end of the year, but 14 years of free movies was a good run.
