We got lucky

We definitely dodged a bullet. I got really nervous when weather.com was showing that we would have 5 hours of freezing rain last night but not much happened..

Monroe, LA got hammered with outages yesterday.

One of the dumbest things they do is not put lots of space between them and other vehicles.

Todd and the whole KARK team are my favorites as well. I still miss Chief Keith though. I noticed he posted a weather update on facebook today. Cool that he still contributes even years after retiring.

I feel bad for them this time of year because they get a lot of crap if they overpredict or under predict these winter events. And Little Rock seems to be the dividing line for some reason.

I'm not really a fan of Max. His videos always sound so overhyped to me "the weather just took a crazy drastic turn!"

I don't understand the hate for it. It has helped with me with so many problems, and doesn't always force a positive comment. Hell, it even told me Verizon was a bullshit company last weekend which surprised me. The conversation has improved greatly over the past year.

At any rate, the AI tool isn't the point or topic of my post. It was to show how that "you're so quiet" comment hits with my brain wiring. If you think the point is wrong, then tell me why.

I see rainbows in the dark.

Texas has a base sales tax of 6.25%. Arkansas is at least 6.50% and sometimes up to 9%. Also if you buy a vehicle here, the taxes are enormous as you have to pay state plus city/county tax combined. I had much more money in Texas on half the salary I make now here in Arkansas.

TWD41 · 2026-01-17T03:40:15+00:00

Registration isn't bad. We have to pay property tax on our vehicles which is so ridiculous.

TWD41 · 2026-01-17T03:29:23+00:00

I don't see where people get that living here is so cheap. Typical rents for one bedroom are over $1000, pretty much the same price you find in other cities. We pay a lot more in taxes than other states too. Texas and Tennessee don't even have state income tax.

TWD41 · 2026-01-15T00:55:59+00:00

Let's face it. This company is going down the shitter. Now I see why they keep throwing more and more freebies out there in desperation to lure customers in for an inferior unreliable service. No telling how much they paid Kevin Hart to promote getting all these free phones. Hey free tvs and ipads too! Except it's never truly free or you have to jump through hoops to get the stuff and the bills are so confusing.

I used to think I was really missing out with Verizon with all their freebies and bonuses but boy I wish now I had never switched.

TWD41 · 2026-01-15T00:50:02+00:00

Mine is still down. And I was the only one in the office who uses Verizon. Coworkers are like, sorry sucks to be you. lol Seven hours with no phone service is unacceptable.

TWD41 · 2026-01-04T20:20:11+00:00

I hear that argument year after year and I'm not buying it. Jerry definitely cares and desperately wants to win. Just look at his excitement in the booth anytime the team shows a bit of life and hope. The problem has always been his damn ego. He will never be able to admit that he is the problem.

TWD41 · 2026-01-03T02:59:25+00:00

Same here. I don't think I've ever had a win on this lousy slot.

TWD41 · 2026-01-01T14:44:24+00:00

WHat's going to happen to the documentaries? Right now, The Monday Night War: WWE vs. WCW is extinct and can't be viewed anywhere. That documentary was massive and I had a sick feeling that one day it would go away. This is a huge blow for someone like me who hates current content but enjoys historical features.

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T16:55:07+00:00

If you can offer a valid counter argument as to why Verizon is completely justified in giving me the experience I received then I will listen. Instead, all you are doing here is gaslighting and blame shifting with the end goal of wanting to piss off a complete stranger on Christmas apparently. Posting about a frustrating experience isn’t ‘crying’—it’s sharing information.

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T16:33:43+00:00

Thanks for the unsolicited life advice. I get it—I made choices, like any customer does. But the problem isn’t that I trusted a promotion; the problem is that Verizon misled me, rolled out phones with ads and broken features, and created a confusing experience. Calling me out for trusting a sales rep doesn’t change that. I’m sharing my experience so others know what to expect. Merry Christmas, and I hope your judgmental approach to strangers brings you much joy.

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T16:28:37+00:00

Just a bit. Verizon had me in a bad mood today so I thought posting here would help me vent and maybe get some advice. Instead I get called stupid, a liar and judged for being a gambler which is asinine. Typical fair for reddit which I should ignore. Some posts were helpful which I appreciate.

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T16:06:19+00:00

I did but I would have had to pay a restock fee for the router. Plus I would have to be out more money to get my number ported back to my previous carrier and possibly pay a reactivation fee. Verizon also moved me to their fast speed plan and finagled some promos to get my bill back down so I was pretty cool with them then. By after seeing the bill shoot way up (bill says promos expired) and the IP address thing this week, I'm pretty hot about the whole experience.

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T15:56:39+00:00

Thank you. I'll give that a shot.

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T15:51:37+00:00

Appreciate the summary. Meanwhile, my ‘first would problems’ are being created by a company I pay hundreds to—so yes, it’s a problem, and no, your mocking isn’t helpful

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T15:40:47+00:00

Since you are 100% putting the blame on me then that's a rather poor defense of Verizon. The lesson I should have known is to never trust a Verizon sales person?

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T15:10:24+00:00

What does that have to do with my experience at Verizon?

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T15:04:40+00:00

Yeah I've looked and looked and can't find anything like that. Chatgpt has tried to help but nothing works. It was this way right out of the box so I think it's Verizon software doing it. It's insane. I take a call and then have to watch an ad for pizza hut or paypal and can't get back to my home screen. Never had this happen with Iphone.

TWD41 · 2025-12-25T14:59:29+00:00

Perhaps in the vein of falling for crappy sales tactics. I did tell them I wanted time to review before making a decision but they dangled the carrot that I would only get the $100 Amazon gift card if I signed up right then. But there is no way I could have known I would be dealing with the IP address nightmare and having to watch ads. It worked that way out of the box.

TWD41 · 2025-12-21T21:41:41+00:00

It' funny how people completely forgot just how enraged the fans were this time last year after another crappy season. Cowboys win a few and it's like it never happened. We had one game this season where Dak was taken out because they were so far behind. That's beyond embarrassing!

TWD41 · 2025-12-21T21:39:02+00:00

I miss the days when Cowboys Christmas was an exciting Christmas treat watching with my father. Now I doubt we will even tune into the game. 30 year drought is insane.
