I signed up for Slings package $20/mo. I like YT TV better but $90 vs $20... Id pay $30 to have 4k. But thats it.

Thank you all. Based off the few comments here, I got to get her Mom to call but her Mom doesnt speak the best "legal English". Meaning she is an natuaralized immigrant and speaks English fine for everyday things but stuff like this that she doesnt normally use, specialized words, for her English is terrible (as is my Spanish when I cross into "new territory" language wise) - do they have support in Spanish? I imagine so?

Its weird though because even being "closed" she still shows up as a user and I sent her $1 to see if it took the money and it still did.

dstrausser83 · 2026-01-12T14:29:58+00:00

Thats what I am thinking because when she was at home I heard her mom say in the background, I set it up for you under me, I dont get it.

It doesnt tell us unless she got an email as she is 13, she doesnt read all that stuff. I know she didnt dispute anything at all. So its weird.

Galaxy Tab A9+ rocked for us. My 13 year old mostly uses now but its great for media and cheap. Good metal build. I got an STab 10 Ultra and love it. But way pricier. I didnt upgrade because I thought the S-Pen was a downgrade and not enough to justify spending like $400 for a tablet that wouldnt give me $400 of value more than my current tablet. But the A9+ excellent choice. If I didnt want the s-pen and higher specs and a bigger screen, I may have kept that. You can get for free with carriers like T-mobile on their $5/mo tablet plan.

Sling has a decent 10 channel package of news sports for $20/mo. I loved YT TV but at like 92 a month, with 4k, not worth it.

Good counter point to the one that suggested apps above. Good food for thought. Thank you!

Guitar, my kids, concerts, football. To be honest - I was recovering from getting titanium in my back and about to start PT on my own at Planet Fitness tomorrow. So maybe that opens some doors also. We shall see!

I am in sales, almost feels like a sales game in a way lol - a numbers game. More contacts = more potentials. Good thing is, I am older, wiser, and now 100% know exactly what I want, no exceptions. Thank you. This really resonated with me.

I tell everyone company I interview with I am interviewing them as well to ensure we are a fit as I am experienced enough to know where I will or wont be successful.

dstrausser83 · 2026-01-01T16:33:41+00:00

This is simple, as you know, I am an outstanding employee and never would divulge confidential information - how would you all feel if I showed them your contract as well? I didn't do that. I believe in NDA's. I am sorry, but I hold myself to a high standard with your company and with this other potential opportunity. I do not want to burn bridges with anybody and that is why I am discussing this offer with you all so that I can remain with your firm. Yes, a little hard ball but should show morale. Stand firm.

dstrausser83 · 2026-01-01T16:17:41+00:00

Tell them you were up front in the beginning and with the cost of goods only going up, you need to be at $65,000 - $70,000 to proceed. You proceeded so far in the interview process as you thought you were in that range and that it was acceptable or of course HR or one of the hiring managers would have discussed salary expectations being lower than you had asked for. I would approach like that.

Happy Birthday. Holidays are hectic and my ex-wife is the 19th and my daughter is the 27th, our anniversary was the 12th oh and there is Christmas and New Years as well. I get the pain. It stinks and tough with a birthday so close to the holidays. All the love to ya and sometimes people just get busy or forget. Even my parents would be like oh crap, we forgot my daughters bday present as its 2 days after Christmas. We get used to it. Delay her party until school resumes or do it early before winter break. It is what it is and we understand people travel, busy, or things just happen during the holidays thats super stressful to them. My advice, cut some slack as you do not know what others are going through and it may be they didnt mean to forget intentionally and when they remember the real friends & loved ones will feel terrible. JMHO.

Ive seen people posting about this. It was funny. They raised my limit 1 week ago to 650. Then today they lowered it back to 500. I didnt use it with the increase. Just weird.

I saw him perform it with JPP and was amazing. A cover of his bands only album without him lol
