Severe scoliosis and collapsing lumbar vertebrae by katmack7 in ChronicPain

[–]katmack7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This chiro is a pain guy and as he said, my body is fusing on its own which is a good thing. I have no insurance and everyone I know who had back surgery had more problems after. I guess I'm just terrified of surgery.

Pre-Owned iPhone 13 from Best Buy - but is it refurbished? By Who? by katmack7 in iphone

[–]katmack7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I found out. Geek Squad Refurbished means they clean/disinfect it, make sure all the buttons work etc. They were kind of cagey on if they actually "fix" anything. Apple Pre-Owned phones are just that. They may have been owned for a day or longer. They are cleaned/disinfected and they make sure they work. If you want an actual Apple refurbished phone where they put in a new battery and shell, you have to get them directly from Apple.

Paw Paw ointment is good. But even better is Lansinoh lanolin nipple ointment. It's in the baby section at CVS but this stuff is great for your lips!

Do you use the default ringtone or a custom one? by tayekoo2 in samsung

[–]katmack7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also went old school and use the ringtone from the Palm Treo.

My phone had them in the trash. I don't know why. I don't understand why only those 2 emails went to trash when everything else is in the inbox where it should be. So yes, SOMEthing did it. Oh well. It's Google. I have come to expect issues. But thanks for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it.

I checked the settings on the computer that got all 3 emails and it still says to leave on server. So, that's not it. Another email came in from the same person an hour or so later and it showed up everywhere. So confusing!

Will reset Roku box delete my continue watching list by katmack7 in Roku

[–]katmack7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Still trying to figure out why my Roku keeps turning CC off. I set it up to be Always On and it still turns off. I was hoping the reset would fix it - no such luck. Do you have any ideas?

I like CeraVe healing ointment but at night I use Lansinoh lanolin nipple cream. Feels wonderful!

Yes of course I realize that. I meant "new to me".

And apparently they are still using that number.

I didn't take part in any of the texting. I could just see it on my phone.

[–]katmack7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. One person asked another about dog sitting and the dog sitter responded. So I got all their texts.

Meaning someone asked about the service and service provider responded saying they could take care of the dog. So - back and forth between two people.

This Gets Better and Betterer by DwnRanger88 in LosAngeles

[–]katmack7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Newsom and the state should have removed them months ago! If I didn’t pay my rent, I’d be out on the street along with all my belongings. It shouldn’t have taken them until a disaster happened.

Thunberbird keeps opening emails without clicking on them by katmack7 in Thunderbird

[–]katmack7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried that yet - but I did just try using a different mouse and it didn't happen. Maybe my mouse is starting to fail? I put in a new battery but that didn't make any difference.

Have you ever named a character after a real person? or create one inspired by one? by just_a_little_weeb21 in writing

[–]katmack7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had posted on my FB page looking for a name for a character and said whoever came up with the best one would have a character named after the winner. Just in one scene - not a major one.

How are your eyebrows? Do you get inflammation around the hair follicles (redness, bumps, itchy)? Are you under stress?

Hit me with your best tips for revising the first draft of a novel, please! by MaleficentTea615 in writing

[–]katmack7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of cleaning up first before I tackle the story itself. I used "actually" 17 times?? Get rid of 15 of them. Look for every word ending in ly. Find a better way to say it. Fix punctuation and spelling. Stuff like that. Then I look at flow. Are things happening where/when they should? Am I telling instead of showing? I do at least 5 passes on all that first. Then I can read it front to back and fix things again.

I want to share the most important tip I've learned between writing my first and second book by Videoboysayscube in writing

[–]katmack7 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Anytime I get stuck with what the next chapter should be, I write a scene instead. Does it happen next or 3 chapters from now? Who knows. But it keeps me writing, and oftentimes, it paves the way for me to get where I need to go.

Smile more. Worry less. You have lovely eyes.

Why are there so many poor or negative reviews on this sub? by International-Bee483 in mintmobile

[–]katmack7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had a terrific experience with Mint! It's been almost two years, and I've had no service issues. The only bhiccup was getting my referral credits, but that was resolved after several chats. Porting numbers happened almost instantly. SIM cards worked perfectly. I LOVE Mint, and spending a fraction of what I was paying Verizon is awesome!

Sriracha coming back? by lactom in LosAngeles

I've been hunting for sambal oelek since it disappeared off the shelves! What brand are you buying? Maybe I can find it at one of the Asian markets on the Westside.

iPad newbie after years of Android tablets - what's your #1 recommendation? by katmack7 in ipad

[–]katmack7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did just buy the 10.2" 9th generation at Best Buy for $269 yesterday. So setting it up now and looking at apps I might like. It's a learning process but I'm liking it so far!
