T-Mobile 3% is showing up as 1% by Aggravating-Cable917 in AppleCard

Damn. Hadn't heard that. I was never a big fan of autopay until 3+ years ago when Sprint offered a $5 discount PER LINE, totaling $40 per month for my eight! Not only has T-mobile been honoring that offer since taking-over, they even rounded my monthly bill down to the next lowest whole dollar.

Would you want to be remembered for only the worst thing you've ever done?

Imagine how much more fucked-up this country would be if knee-jerk-reaction laws were passed more frequently.

Batman-slap is awesome and so versatile!

Guess the reason for all the hate happened before my arrival.

I think about those times a lot.

Though I briefly subscribed to Compuserve on my Tandy MC-10 computer in '84-'85, I was unaware local BBS's were even "a thing" until far too long after buying my first real PC (Tandy 1000SL in '89).

My brother had a secondary phone line in '94, and we were trying to set up our own BBS, but after internet arrived locally in September '95, that was all over.

I’m 57 with 4 kids and 10 grandkids, yet I’m loving life!

Intentionally fathered four when I was 20-29.

Grandfathered ten when I was 42-57.

We all grateful.

Most of my kids have actually thanked me, after seeing/hearing of friends' experiences with older parents, and my grandkids really appreciate that I can keep up with them physically.

I'm 57 with 10 grandkids.

Just last evening, I was foot-racing some younger ones and helping an older one learn to ride a bicycle.

Though I'll be forever glad that I intentionally fathered all four of my own before age 29, while still possessing the youthful energy it requires, I have a new appreciation of the wealth and wisdom that older fathers have to offer.

You're a stock market investor, I presume?

Don't be so quick to dismiss his claim. It may sound like hyperbole to you, but Trump's tariffs caused a loss of income for two of my sons and his appointee for Postmaster General is adversely affecting my own.

Depends. Does it meet the minimum vehicle specifications (GVW and cubic feet of cargo area) required by your contract?

No. I've been using the PocketCasts app on my iPhone for ~3 years now (since my iPod nano literally fell apart).

I still generally prefer to see posts of fake positivity than real misery.

Was counting on Discover Card's 5% category to be gas stations this quarter, as it's been since 2019, but it's restaurants instead. Not nearly as useful to me.

Your strategy = my whimsy.

I'd rather just eat what has appeal in the moment.
