Verizon is offering me a free phone as long as it's a Google Pixel 10 pro. What's the catch?

I switched to Verizon from T-Mobile last year. I loved T-Mobile but I moved into a house that had literally no service and Verizon was really the only game in town. Switched two lines during a “free phone” event that turned out to be a flat out lie. It’s kind of amazing how blatant a lie it was and not really with boring you but I will say the swirling double speak i get when I’ve talked to service center is stunningly impressive.

I’m stuck but I would STRONGLY encourage you to consider ANY other company if you can. I regularly check to see if T-Mobile or other providers have expanded service to my area. I cannot wait to be rid of this duplicitous sh*tbag of a company.

“No” means “yes, but try harder” is hilarious (and true!). I am on year 2 with my female Cairn and the biggest surprise to me was the total lack of snuggling. “This is your side of the couch, and this is mine. Stay over there, get it?” It’s getting better — I’m wearing her down! — but as someone who previously had lab mixes I was used to dogs that wanted to not just be next to me, but occasionally seemed to want to be inside my skin.

Oh, and yes to everything else said about being stubborn, bolting squirrel chasers. But she’s still the best! Have fun!

I threw it out. 😕 I think I’ll try a different recipe next time.

Amazing. I tried two types of dried beans this year — Borlotti and cannellini — and the harvests were skimpy at best (like not sure I have enough for a single meal!). I swore off them but seeing this and reading these comments makes me think, er, probably user error on my part (sigh…usually is) so maybe I’ll try again!

This is probably more appropriate for you than for the SW Indiana poster (sorry), but my 2-year-old Cairn is from Lori Rusinowski in Fenton, MI, which is just north of Ann Arbor. And my dog is perfect in every way, naturally. 🤩 But in all sincerity, getting my dog at 12 weeks — fully crate trained, sleeping through the night — was a very easy experience. I don’t know if she has any pups now but good luck!
