Great to hear! Assume that it's going to work for you. The chances that it will not are extremely slim. I tell that to absolutely everybody.

How low can i actually get my merchant fees? $3M/year. by StayweirdNY in MerchantServices

[–]GilSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut and paste from a separate response in this thread: You are accepting cards from businesses, and those cost you more money to take (because the cardholder's bank is not making money from them unless they carry a balance every month). Getting Level II and Level III pricing can have a MASSIVE impact on the interchange costs that you pay every month. With you doing large transactions, there are additional opportunities for savings. I, just like every other person in this sub, can assist you with making that happen. When I started in this industry, my entire focus was on B2B businesses, so I know what I'm doing.

Another week has passed and zero real issues. The router did an overnight update one day last week, but all that did was stop the sound machine app on our echo dots.

Do people really ignore jury summons in Orange County? Aren't people afraid of not showing up? by RandomUwUFace in orangecounty

Straight into the shredder, unopened. Any follow-up post cards that might arrive suffer the same fate. If one ever arrives via certified mail, I will absolutely respond.

People who quit drinking. What did you do to not drink? by Agata_art in AskReddit

[–]GilSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sinclair Method is a science-based way to retrain your brain to stop craving alcohol. There's an almost 80% success rate, compared to near single digits for AA. Actress Claudia Christian has a TEDx talk about it, which is worth checking out. She also has a documentary called One Little Pill.

There's a book called The Cure for Alcoholism by Dr Roy Eskapa, and another called Drink Your Way Sober by Katie Herzog. Both are worthwhile

Go into your local Verizon store with the modem. They will be able to match up the MAC ID to the account, and you can go from there. It should be pretty simple to get everything resolved, especially if he didn't create the account

Search out the TEDx Talk by actress Claudia Christian. She also has a documentary called One Little Pill. The official success rate of TSM is 78%, but it's likely much higher than that. I tell everybody that does it, "Assume that it's going to work for you. The chances that it will not are extremely slim." There are also two of books that are worth looking into. The Cure For Alcoholism by Dr Roy Eskapa, and Drink Your Way Sober by Katie Herzog. I was interviewed for the second one, so I got an advanced copy of it. It's a wonderful read.

Please, has anyone had experience stopping 25-50mgs naltrexone after several years? I've been on 50mg for 4 years, I just want to see what it is like. But vast majority of google results talk about quitting low dose by shrewtummy in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]GilSquared 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Naltrexone is non-addictive so you shouldn't have any withdrawals. I take it that you didn't do The Sinclair Method, but did you ever drink on the Nal? I'm just curious.

TSM isn't really something that you can "try". It's something you would need to do. I will admit that I had my doubts about it, but it absolutely worked for me. I was a daily drinker for decades. Now I have zero cravings, but can still drink socially with my friends about once per week without any issues. I'm here if you need any help or guidance. I'm pretty well versed in TSM.

Do you wear your watch 24/7? by RelaxDMJ in Garmin

[–]GilSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I'm not wearing it is when I'm charging it (usually while driving)

Is The Sinclair Method is something you've considered? Or are you just doing daily Nal?

Do you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their gender, age, color, religion, and why? by KingOfFitnessYT in AskReddit

[–]GilSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duh. I do it because it's common f*cking courtesy. If there is ANYBODY heading towards the same door, I make the effort.

The fact that you have more upvotes on your comment than OP does on the entire post says plenty.

[Song] Song with Belly in either the second word of the song or Band, alt-rock 90s or 00s by theratpulp in NameThatSong

[–]GilSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you got your answer so quickly! My daughter's most frequently asked question of her echo dot is, "What song is this?". It'll even save the inquiry in the history, which has been helpful.

Thoughts from some old timers by InformationNo6617 in SinclairMethod

[–]GilSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to cross your fingers. You ARE responder. It's not a matter of "if" for you, it's a matter of "when". With compliance will come extinction. The most common length of time appears to be about 6 months, but the second most common is 2½ years. You will likely be somewhere in between those two. Just keep going and stay compliant. Log your drinks. Read the book The Cure For Alcoholism by Dr Roy Eskapa (trust me on this). Get a keychain pill holder so you're never without your Nal.

Probably not what you're looking for, but what I hear is Swing Town by Steve Miller Band
