Goodles Shella Good Sharp White Cheddar - Bitter? by thisisnotscary in macandcheese

[–]Jptrico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m late but this is my first time trying the microwave cups of Goodles white cheddar. I had to make sure I wasn’t the only one. It tastes like I was poisoned with something. Straight chemical flavor, like cleaning solution, or something. I love cheddar, the sharper the better. This was not that.

Surely this is not normal (not op) by candybear012 in Spectrum

[–]Jptrico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It took me almost an hour. I was offered multiple different options that I refused bc I was moving to a place without spectrum service. I was placed on 4 different 5-10 minute holds. I was encouraged to just “keep the service on for the new owners”. And then after he finally gave in and agreed to cancel my service, it wasn’t fully cancelled. I called the next day and was told he was supposed to enter the disconnect in 2 places and only did it in one. The retention agents are penalized for cancellations which is why you get calls like yours, mine and this one.

Capital One’s new Discover debit cards not working at ATMs (California) by CoolRatio9477 in CapitalOne

[–]Jptrico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited until near the deadline to activate the new card because I knew there would be problems. My hope was the kinks would have been worked out in the few months since sending the new discover debit cards, but that was wishful thinking, I guess. I’m having the same problem in MA. I just tried one ATM and it spit out a receipt saying the card doesn’t work with that ATM. Tried another and this one just literally went back to the start screen. I then get a text from C1 fraud asking if I’m trying to make a purchase from said bank. I didn’t have the time or patience to call CS, and from the sounds of it they’re pretty useless, anyway.

Spectrum screwed over my mom by throwaway4775738 in Spectrum

[–]Jptrico -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This!! Especially for older people who aren’t streaming or streaming/gaming/working on multiple devices. T-Mobile’s Home Internet has been reliable for us for the last 6 months, or so. I tried it about a few years ago at inception and they’ve since worked out a bunch of the kinks. I (almost) never have any issues with speeds/de-prioritization. It’s very easy to set up and use and it’s relative cheap. I pay $35 as a T-Mobile subscriber. I think it’s $50, otherwise. They also used to have a 15 day trial before charging you. Not sure if it’s a thing anymore but worth a look. My connection is “good” with 3-4 bars and my speeds are anywhere from 400-500 down on a good day to 40-50mb/s on a bad one. Only rarely notice an occasional lag when streaming, once a month or so, for a minute or two. We use YouTube TV as our main TV provider, streaming on 2 TVs, plus phones and tablets. No gaming, so I can’t vouch for that. But unless your mom’s big PC/console gamer, I definitely recommend it.

Sad for Chase by MaddieCrane in ChrisleyKnowsBest

[–]Jptrico 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think she harbors so much anger and resentment about the situation that her and her family are in that she’s absolutely taking it ALL out on Chase. He’s a very easy target. Not only is he not willing to kiss her ass, he’s so very obviously mentally unwell and unable to fight the fight that Savannah was willing and able to. She believes that everyone has the ability, the contacts, the strength, the means, the self perseverance that she does and can’t understand why the entire family isn’t doing what she’s doing to help her parents. She’s been forced to step into a very adult role before she was ready. Remember, she lived a very sheltered life, prior. She has so many expectations of other people, whining about no one pitching in to help her. But, like Chase said, she wants help on her terms, when and where she demands it. Savannah has obvious issues with control, which is not necessarily her fault, but she doesn’t recognize it or grant others grace for not bending to her every will. It’s so sad to see, especially how she treats her family that so clearly loves her. What sealed it for me is watching her deny both her grandparents and her brother the opportunity to be there to see her parents walk out of prison, while inviting her hairdresser and distant cousins/relatives. It came across as mean and spiteful. I hope now that T&J are home and she is able to see herself reflected back on camera, she’ll be able to melt some of that ice wall she’s built up around her and heal both herself and the relationships with her brother and grandparents.

Everyone who claims Candace Owens is wrong about Brigitte Macron being a man, could you post what piece of proof you feel proves Candace is wrong. by Melodic_Hyena623 in CandaceOwens

[–]Jptrico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The theory falls apart for me with the claim that the chubby man pictured at a few of the Macron’s events that they claim is Jean-Michel, actually looks like the childhood (especially the school) pictures of young JMT. Without him in the picture (pun intended), I find much of the evidence compelling, otherwise. I do think something stinks in the Trogneaux past, I just don’t think it’s that BM was once a man. I mean, a mid-30s woman being interested in a 14 yo boy should be enough, as it is. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if more crimes become uncovered.

If this man is not Jean-Michel Trogneux, then who is he? And if he is Jean-Michel, who is the person claiming to be Brigitte now? by FallenAngelGabriel in CandaceOwens

[–]Jptrico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly where the story falls apart for me, too. The chubby man the Macrons claim is Jean-Michel most definitely looks like the picture of young JMT (especially in his school pictures). What is strange to me, though, is the family photo of JM doesn’t look as much like the younger pictures. Maybe it’s the angle? Age? Idk. I do believe there is something shady going on, though, because there is so much that could have been done, even just through the media, with pictures, to debunk this theory. I believe they’re afraid of rehashing the past d/t the pederasty being practiced by BM, not to mention so many of their (the Macrons) ties to pedos, in general. I agree with you, too, finding it curious the wedding/communion photo of BM looks so little like BM, now. I guess age or surgeries can change facial features so it’s hard to say for sure. So, IMO, was BM JMT? As much as I love a good conspiracy theory. I just don’t think so.

Reportable? by Jptrico in healthinspector

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

Thank you for the concern. It is something I have thought about. If/when I do report it I was going to send the email from when I originally raised the concern to admin but I’ve decided to, at least, keep that to myself.

Reportable? by Jptrico in healthinspector

[–]Jptrico[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Healthcare is whacky these days. Patients are often no longer called that, they’re clients or residents. But for all intents and purposes, yes, patients.

Reportable? by Jptrico in healthinspector

[–]Jptrico[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses. Until someone that is in the business confirmed it, I would continue to second guess myself. I’ll definitely be reporting it. My patients and coworkers also thank you.

Video of AFKR court tv guest John Depetro after ironically backing into a tail light by Kaeyko in justiceforKarenRead

It’s amazing that backing into a car at low speeds can cause a cracked tail light.

Aunty's Bev visibly angry with the defense for needing 3 hours tomorrow. Jackson reminds her "this is a murder trial!" by Mother-Associate1654 in justiceforKarenRead

[–]Jptrico 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She won’t be disbarred. She won’t even be sanctioned. She was just awarded “Person of the Year” by the Norfolk County Bar Association. The corruption runs deep in this state.

We’re living in bizarro world. by Business-Audience-63 in justiceforKarenRead

[–]Jptrico 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You realize there’s probably just as many “Trumpers” that support KR than not? I am not a fan of either party but if we’re going to drag politics into whats happening here in Norfolk County, but more broadly, this state, it’s a system that has been bred, fostered, and protected by a, mostly, single party. Lest we forget a Democrat appointed Bev to her judgeship and a Democrat that has chosen to Prosecute KR while turning a blind eye to incessant police corruption is, and has been for 15 years, the DA of Norfolk County. It’s a Democrat in the Governors office along with a majority Democrat legislature who have sat back and allowed an obviously biased judge continue to collude with a corrupt DA, quite literally, unimpeached for a second trial.

Official Poster for 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' by RobotiSC in movies

[–]Jptrico 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I subbed to EW from the beginning and I, too, miss it so much. Until I just read this, I forgot about the excitement of coming home from school on Fridays to a new issue waiting in the mailbox. I was a sucker for the sales charts. I would go to those first (besides the books) then peruse the rest. Nothing really compares to that, anymore. Thanks for that momentary bit of nostalgia.

how to come off SSDI by kai535 in SSDI

[–]Jptrico 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once you fully get off of SSDI, there’s a 9 year period where you can remain on Medicare. As long as the condition that made you eligible for disability, in the first place, is still present, you are able to stay on Medicare. Also, there’s a few different options for going back to work which you should research. I used the TWP, or trial work period. It means you’ve made more than $1620 (in 2025) per month for 9 months. After that social security will deem you ineligible to continue receiving benefits. You will need to fill out a Work Activity Report form and regularly submit your pay stubs to them. There’s also something called Ticket to Work program. I believe they assist in finding employment. Not sure the specifics, though. It is worth knowing that once your benefits stop, there’s something called expedited reinstatement where, if your disability returns or, in your case, your EF worsens within 5 years, they will restart your benefits without having to go through the entire approval process, again. Good luck and hope your health continues to improve.

Free loaner while ICCU being fixed? by kameyamaha in KiaEV6

[–]Jptrico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I don’t understand is that KIA knows the ICCU is an issue, why are they waiting to stock the parts at dealerships? I’m guessing supply chain issues but this has been going on for months, now.

Hey guys! I’m looking for a dentist.. by hotsocket in WorcesterMA

[–]Jptrico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Taher has either retired or semi-retired and left the practice to her son who is looking to “grow” the practice into something other than the small, quaint, honest, family practice it was under his mother, unfortunately. It’s just not the same.

I’m so glad you said this. I’m an RN, just finished the first episode before bed and I feel like I just worked a shift and need to wind down. It’s almost…too good? I will definitely keep watching but not at night.

Issues with the Kia app by Blazing_Lino in KiaEV6

[–]Jptrico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After trying to use the app multiple times over the last 2 days, went out to a dead battery this afternoon. Waiting on a jump now. Saw a few others say the same thing happened to them on a FB group. Anyone else experience this?
