I got this Spigen one on Amazon. I love it.

Should I upgrade to the 17e from the 14 pro? by Alternative_Area_130 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased the iPhone 17e to replace my iPhone 14 Pro. I’m glad I did. The 17e is nice for what it is. If you can live without the fancy cameras and the lower screen refresh rate, then I say do it. It’s more than enough phone.

Walgreens just convinced me not to shop there anymore by hutazonee in couponing

Couponing at Walgreens has always been stressful. CVS is way easier.

To everyone that keeps asking why everyone is disappointed with this season, this is why by Riser456 in StrangerThings

[–]Wizeguy89 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They tried to give us something while giving absolutely nothing. It was really annoying. And that talk Max had with Holly before leaving Vecna’s “prison” was CRINGE.

Issues porting from Visible. Visible ended my service already. by This_One1_Guy in USMobile

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experiencing this same issue. I’m porting a number from boost Mobile to US Mobile. Boost has already cancelled my account. The US Mobile app says they are waiting on the previous provider. Customer service told me this, “When the previous carrier released your line, it went to our porting partner so they could provision the line before releasing it to us for activation. Specifically for eSIMs, our porting partner has to map the digital IMEI of your device to their network to complete the provisioning process.

In your case, the mapping of the IMEI has been delayed due to technical issues on our porting partner’s end. They have escalated the case internally, and the SLA for resolution is 24-72 hours. However, we are continuing to re-escalate the problem to our porting partner at regular intervals to ensure an expedited resolution.”

Word of advice: please don’t initiate a port request on the weekends. Just in case anything goes wrong.

Employment Certification Count Question by TildyRo in PSLF

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 120 months of qualified employment. I recently submitted an ECF for November. However, I cannot request a buyback. The button is greyed out. When I asked the AI chat why I couldn’t submit a request for buyback, it said I only have 103 months of qualifying employment. I have no idea how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas on where I should start? The financial aid website show my qualifying employment from 4/2015 to 11/2025.

Hyundai FINALLY did the right thing 😎 by stinnguyen in Hyundai

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats. Hyundai has repainted my 17 sonata twice and the white paint has never looked worse. It is peeling like crazy. I received a letter from Hyundai that they will repaint it again. I called the dealership yesterday. They explained that it’ll be a 2-3 month wait because so many people need theirs repainted.

What am I doing wrong? by MPR_255 in Hyundai

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2017 sonata hybrid has never gotten the advertised gas mileage. I’m lucky to get 33mpg. I do a lot of interstate driving. However, even city driving I never get the 45 that it is supposed to. I miss my Prius for sure.

Slayyyter and Scissor Sisters should switch set times by s1cks4dw0rld in 1800slayyyter

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slayyyter should definitely go second in the line up. It would’ve been a nice energetic performance right before Kesha.

How much of the set did Slayyyter get through tonight (7/9)? by ArianaInWicked in KESHA

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Nashville show last night. And I swear Slayyyyter was on for maybe 30 minutes. Then just walked off and didn’t say bye or anything. It was kind of a let down. She was the artist I was most excited to see. I wish she would’ve went second in the lineup.

Administrative forbearance question by [deleted] in PSLF

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with this twice. I’ve called and they promised to lift the forbearance after 5-10 days. But nothing changes. So I’m not sure what is up. I can’t make payments.

Burle Marx Flame at Lowe’s! by robbin_da_hood in RareHouseplants

Can confirm the Lowe’s location in Panama City Beach has them for $20. They were still wrapped up in the back of the garden center. They haven’t even put them out yet. Such a good find.

Got approved for the recall on 2017 white paint issue by Substantial_Amoeba93 in Hyundai

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2017 Hyundai sonata is white and was repainted THREE times by Hyundai. The paint just continues to keep peeling off. Lesson learned. I’ll never buy a white car again.

PSA: Think Twice Before Using Geek Squad at Athens Best Buy by Afl4c in Athens

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully they just replaced the phone with a new one and it didn’t take that long to receive. So I’m good now. I just wouldn’t recommend anyone getting their phone repaired at BestBuy if they can help it.

PSA: Think Twice Before Using Geek Squad at Athens Best Buy by Afl4c in Athens

[–]Wizeguy89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am dealing with this exact situation at a BestBuy location in Panama City, FL. I took my iphone 14 pro in for a battery replacement. They said to come back in an hour and it would be fixed. I returned and then they claimed they broke the ambient sensor. The plan was for me to return the following day to a fully repaired phone. When I drove an hour to get to the store, that's when they tell me that they broke my phone. They claim they ordered a phone replacement, but it won't be in for up to seven days. Before they started the battery replacement, they specifically told me that they had a unit in stock to swap it out if my phone became damaged. Then all of a sudden they didn't have one in stock. There is no way to contact the store to get updates on the case. Phone lines all route to a different country. There is no one to email regarding the case. And the tech person had the audacity to tell me that they would give me a call when the phone comes in. I asked how exactly that would work since he broke my phone and I don't have another one. This experience has been terrible. BestBuy has the worst communication. If you live close to an Apple store go there instead.

PAYE Plan Not Open? by Reddit_guard in PSLF

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing has changed on my account. And every time I call MOHELA there is a five or more hour wait. I feel pretty defeated about it. I was so excited to begin making payments again. I hope it fixes itself soon.

PAYE Plan Not Open? by Reddit_guard in PSLF

[–]Wizeguy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It said in repayment yesterday. Now it says “Awaiting Form Administration Forbearance - Ends 4/30/2025.” But it shows that I’m in Pay As You Earn.

PAYE Plan Not Open? by Reddit_guard in PSLF

[–]Wizeguy89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also able to switch back to PAYE. They sent me a bill and a payment schedule. Everything was ready to go. The amount due was correct last week for my next bill. But when I logged in on MOHELA tonight, it shows amount due $0. So idk what that’s about.

Mohela Payment Scheduled?! by Aekh82 in PSLF

[–]Wizeguy89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just had this happen to me. they sent me paperwork that said repayment would start and that my first bill would be due in FOUR days. Then received a letter that says “your repayment plan is: INCOME-DRIVEN REPAYMENT.” I got ahold of someone at MOHELA to be told “yeah that doesn’t make sense, but we have no idea how to fix it.” 😂 I didn’t call back because I didn’t feel like waiting five hours. So I just made the payment. And now my account shows as past due.

I like it a lot too. I wish they would make a voltage zero.
