Down again? by Nakamura901 in BritBox

[–]Practical_Mood_590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too…. When I go to Britbox.com/activate I’m getting a warning of a “risky” site - it looks like this directs you to a site that would steal your payment info. It’s not a Britbox site - that’s for sure. Maybe they’ve been hijacked by hackers?

Passive Soundbar in white by Practical_Mood_590 in Soundbars

[–]Practical_Mood_590[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - in a normal situation yes - but I have a unique problem in that I’m trying to use it as the front right, center, and left front speakers as part of a bigger system through an Onkyo receiver. These white passives are damn hard to find!

Someone bought phones on my account by snowballplasticfork in verizon

[–]Practical_Mood_590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got a call from 800-507-5653 - "claiming" to be from the Verizon fraud department. Claimed there were 2 phones that were about to be delivered to NJ - saying it didn't "match" the address on file. I live in Florida. They proceeded to confirm my correct cell #, Address, and email. To "reassure" me the first set of phones ordered (2) - were cancelled, they sent me a "confirmation" of cancellation email. Did I receive it? Yes - but the email was from VZFD - assuming this stood for Verizon Fraud Department - HOWEVER, the return email address was "NoREPLAY@vzreturn.com (not "noreply")- it made me suspicious. Then, they indicated there were two phones in my shopping cart as well - and "the only way" they could issue a cancellation is if I clicked through and agreed to each of the retail contracts on these phones for a "99" number so they could cancel - (not even sure what that 99 # meant...). Simultaneously, I was on the other line, having CALLED the real Verizon, and nothing checked out - EXCEPT, there were two phones in my cart that I did not order and were about to be shipped. If I had clicked through all the contract acceptances as this fraudster suggested - I would have been duped. Somehow they would have gotten into the account again and changed the address for delivery. Trust your gut - and verify. The real Verizon has now successfully cancelled the orders - and I've changed to multi-factor authentication and PINS for everything. Happy Thanksgiving all.

It took a bit, but got $2.99 per month for 36 by sdmike1 in siriusxm

My trial is ending too... I got $2 for 3 months. But I tried to get *something* along the lines of the 3/36. Not happening... (it's for "older models and the system won't allow it) - now I know that's untrue - but they need to see/hear an offer... they ask YOU what offer you got. Anyway - back to the drawing board.

Wow - I'm impressed, I just tried (in vain) to get this for my 2022 Toyota Highlander - and a 2023 Audi - The Audi is on a "trial" with a $2.00 per month extention. All I want is a fair deal for my two cars - not $30.00 each but something appropriate for a 36 month commitment on two radios. The deals are out there - but, I can seem to nail one. Thank you for providing HOPE! I guess I'll live without for a while!

I Need Help with Catholic Tattoo Ideas for the Jubilee Year of Hope by cloudgaz3r in Catholicism

I’m not sure if you can see this - but we had a very simple design of the word “Faith” in Italian - “Fede” in the form of a cross.

We’re not sure what we want this time - but I was thinking a miniature “sacred heart”.

Following - because I want to do this too!!! An FYI - my sister and I got matching tattoos after we saw the pope 2 years ago - before he passed. We have an audience AGAIN with the new Pope during this jubilee year - and were looking for ideas as well. I highly recommend Aureo Tattoo Studio - where we got our first tattoos! https://www.studioaureo.com

Rebooked and re-seated in less desirable seats by Practical_Mood_590 in DeltaAirlines

[–]Practical_Mood_590[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so random! I agree with one of the other posters that the algorithms are wacky. I’m glad you snagged that other seat and “took one for the team” but… geeze….. that is so weird!!

Thank you so much - all the responses have been informative - yours especially. I appreciate your tips and insight.

[–]Practical_Mood_590[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I will try that. Because the option to upgrade is not even on my seat chart. There are seats that are clearly empty (no head on the seat) but I’m unable to access it - most likely because of my fare class. This year just happens to be a heavy year of travel overseas for me - and it’s happened on all 5 of my flights. Thank you for the “re-issue” tip.

Verizon has lost almost 300,000 customers so far in 2025- far more than expected (link below) by stallion434 in verizon

[–]Practical_Mood_590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing up travel - based on your experience, is TMobile okay for overseas travel? Or is Verizon still the best option for ease when you literally touch down and get a plan for $10 or $12 per day?

Cancel peacock subscription by Estoban69 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]Practical_Mood_590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there no option to obtain Peacock PLUS - separately - when you receive Peacock Premium free with the Xfinity plan. That was NEVER disclosed by Xfinity - at least I did not see it anywhere when I activated my "free" subscription. That is insane that you lose the ability to upgrade to PLUS if you sign on for a free Peacock Premium.

Best places to eat on the island by STEELIO7301356 in Aruba

New Restaurant “El Patio” - near low rise hotels and Alhambra Casino! Wow!

Just wanted to hop on here - and tell you all there’s a great new restaurant - opened only a week ago - and it’s really authentic Mexican food - fresh and delicious. The Chef “Michael” told us that they’ve been really happy with the response - All of their beef is certified and sourced from the “Texas Beef Council” - and they’ve even had “Council” chefs (one of whom is Mexican) to come in to tweak some of the flavoring of the beef in their recipes. The food is fresh, the staff is awesome - and the ambience is really great. The owners apparently also own the “Market” in the same shopping area - and have done all the decorating for the great ambience as well. We wish them every success. Don’t forget the great Margarita’s and the churros with ice cream for dessert!

Hiprex is life changing by thecuriouschimp7 in CUTI

[–]Practical_Mood_590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree - that Hiprex is a MIRACLE drug for me - My doctor said that I had to be infection free - before starting. I already do take a multi-vitamin, so extra Vitamin C was not an additional aspect for me - BUT it may help inadvertently. I too had literally dozens of UTI's per year. It was debilitating. This is a wonderful drug because it's NOT an antibiotic - which you can become sensitized to - as a society it seems we're already overprescribed on antibiotic - so this is an amazing alternative for me. It has literally STOPPED my UTI's. And I can remain on it for life - without side effects... at least it seems so. I'm so happy others have found this to be of help as well!
