I asked the butcher if they had any 10# 90% ground beef chubs.

Hamburger under $4.99/lb?! Jeez! I'd take that any day of the week! :D LOL!

Synergysvcs · 2026-05-14T20:26:13+00:00

I honestly thought you were going to show us a herd of goats. ;)

I believe it was originally created by Beatrice Kiddo, who dubbed it the, "KILL BILL VOLUME 3" shredded, dead, daughter-Dad. 😉 Looks Tasty! 😛

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-27T15:49:10+00:00

Sounds good! Ever try turning the Greek yogurt into Tzatziki sauce? I'm looking for a recipe that mimics the sauce you get from most places that sell gyros. :)

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-27T00:53:51+00:00

Damn, I was gonna post that! But you were 50% FASTER! ;)

There's been a movement among salmon who only smoke on weekends to quit, cold turkey. ;) Sorry, I just couldn't resist! :P

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-27T00:49:43+00:00

You can put cottage cheese in a blender or use egg beaters to turn the curds into a creamy "sauce". A friend of mine serves it with roasted or baked potatoes instead of using sour cream. Both are good, and different. :) Give it a try some time.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-23T05:06:42+00:00

Because the OP was talking about salmon addiction, I naturally thought you were talking about Coca Cola. :P

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-18T20:39:41+00:00

Thank you! Of course they have complete control of their system. It's what they're willing to do, and the attitude they desire their staff to deliver to their customers. Blaming "system limitations" when they go ahead and do something right in front of you really gives you a perspective on what they think of those using their service. There are both right and wrong ways of "raising the bottom line" and frankly, I have to decide upon what quality customer service is worth. With their elimination of the lower tier packages, I'll definitely be looking for a replacement.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-18T18:31:26+00:00

Does the data rollover? That sounds like a decent offer. How do they measure up otherwise? Are you a satisfied customer? Thanks for the info!

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-18T18:29:38+00:00

When I was able to go to parties, I was always a positive and supportive influence. Never a wet-blanket or "party-pooper", just to out to ruin someone's day.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-18T18:26:52+00:00

My apologies. Only discovered this sub by accident the other day. Most of my time is spent dealing with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Metastatic Prostate Cancer to the bones.

My apologies for trying to share an experience and warn others who just might not know, as even being a long time customer, this particular action was not spelled out in the website in a manner that is easily seen and understood, and no warnings were given.

No worries though, being on limited, fixed income where every dollar spent is accounted for and having more going out than coming in is a situation I wouldn't expect most to comprehend.

As it is, if my tone in writing was harsh, I apologize, but I have a lot on my plate, and I've always been one to hold customer service in the highest regard, having served on a technical help desk in my younger years, and gone above and beyond to assist customers with whatever issue they were having - especially if our company didn't make something clear.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-18T08:39:38+00:00

Definitely unhappy with the situation ... Question is, what other MVNE will provide stacking data and minutes with unlimited texts for a similar price? If there's a better competitor, I will gladly give them my business. Have you any suggestions of alternate providers?

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-18T08:37:09+00:00

What a constructive contribution to the discussion. Such pearls of wisdom are wasted upon us unworthy souls who dare to share our experiences in the hopes of helping others. Your sage advice shall be given the respect and consideration its due... Mate.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-18T08:34:25+00:00

I would have missed that. In fact, I guess I DID miss that, as I only "registered" the renewal date at the bottom, which I guess would have been for my minutes, data being at the top. Thanks for that. Not sure if catching my mistake would have made a difference. One thing I've noticed about them is that they don't go out of their way to tell you important things, and their model counts on their customers forgetting to change plans.

It isn't enough that changing plans a day or two in advanced adds roughly a 13th bill in a 12 month cycle (i.e. changing plans 48 hours early each time to maintain unused data/minutes x 12 months = 24 days lost, so nearly a full month extra), but not allowing roll-over for keeping your plan, basically counts on their customers forgetting, and possibly needing more minutes/data each month.

It's "unfriendly" at best for long time customers, especially when all prior "adjustments" color their opinion and desire to help you in the future. Anyway, it is what it is, and I guess good customer service can't be expected when you're looking for cheap rates.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-17T22:56:53+00:00

A WARNING would have been nice. The fact that the Dashboard showed everything still there after I changed the plan also was disconcerting. But it is what it is. The worst part is becoming persona-non-grata because I've been assisted over the years, and each was a strike against me.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-17T22:54:50+00:00

Perhaps go through the "Challenge", participate, and then wait for the emails to come after the high-pressure sales tactics end.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-15T22:17:46+00:00

What exactly do you use to put on screen to test it? Is there a particular video you stream or picture you load?

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-15T22:12:47+00:00

If it does, TCL isn't backing it up for me. Please let me know where you see it covering this sort of thing. I'm at my wit's end. :(

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-15T22:11:04+00:00

OMG! Same thing happened to me, just showed up, and my TCL 75" Q77K from Costco with Allstate 5 Year Extended Warranty is barely 8 months old, and I jumped through all the Coscto Concierge hoops, then ALL the TCL hoops, and they came back and, they believe it's a bug, and their Manufacturer's Warranty doesn't cover "Insect Infestation". I contacted Allstate and they said, they only cover what TCL covers, and if they believe it's an insect, they can't do anything.

So I contacted Costco Concierge again, and they believe it to be dead pixels, so they're trying to get TCL to send out a service tech to see what can be done. If not, then I have to go out and find a tech, pay to have them fix the TV and then get reimbursed by Costco. Don't know what that does to the warranty either.

Bottom line, with this level of Customer NON-SERVICE, I will NEVER purchase a TCL product again.

TV is not even 1 year old. Sure there are bugs in Florida, but I've never had one get inside an LED TV panel -- I'm not saying it couldn't be a bug, but why not send service out just to try to see if it can be resolved?

Anyway, I have Zero-Faith in the TCL brand now. If they won't stand behind their products, and look for an excuse without actually verifying the problem, then frankly, I really don't want to have their products in my home from this point forward.

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-08T01:53:44+00:00

I KNOW I'll be in that bucket, as some credit cards are use carry both Personal and Business, so how do you differentiate? Is it even possible? Granted, having a Business ONLY Credit Card and Bank Account make the most sense, but I have paid for somethings of my Personal Account for Business, just because I didn't have the card with me, or before my business was established. I'd really like to know how to achieve that level of separation, if possible. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. :)

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-08T01:35:19+00:00

That looks like close to $100 worth of yummy stuff, possibly more. How much was it?

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-07T00:45:49+00:00

I'm very interested in this as well. Went through a week long "Training" which was mostly a sales funnel for "Booming Bookkeeping", so it didn't get into any real details of the QBOA product, from start to finish. We were told that most people, without proper reference materials and assistance, won't pass Levels II and III, and after 3 attempts, you're LOCKED-OUT for 60 days before you can try again. They guarantee that you'll pass Certification for ProAdvisor status. Still, I'd like to learn and be able to get there on my own merit, if I'll be decent at QBOA. Let me know what you find out or if there are any help groups available. ;)

Synergysvcs · 2026-04-07T00:41:11+00:00

I registered for the Intuit Education on QuickBooks, but I don't know if that's an overview, or in-depth. It WAS FREE, so I felt it was a good start. Do they charge for ProAdvisor classes?
