Where we live, most places charge the max cap of 4%, even for debit cards, which is thievery as banks only charge a small amount for debit card transactions. Still lots of places that don't accept cash too. What's the world coming to?

Hannibal MO is worth a stop to check out. Lots of Mark Twain stuff to see.

We had the same situation for our son. He's in 2nd year of PhD program at UW Seattle. Your DD will need to get guidance from the dept that is providing her annual stipend on what's best to do as it applies to becoming an OR resident. If it's best to become an OR resident, then she will need...

We're pleased with LM too. I just bought a new Dell Optiplex SFF 7010 and installed LM 21.3 on it. Had no issues at all with the install and everything works perfectly, including audio to my monitor. We've been using LM for probably 10 years now. I chose LM so it would be an easy learning...

This thread doesn't answer my question. But it sure shows there's lots of xfinity customers with sudden spikes in data usage. Kinda makes one thing that xfinity is doing something underhanded (which I have my suspicions for my situation). If any of these people have purchased 4K TVs and...

Yeah, I had Eero as my prev router and it provided the data usage reports by device that I need. When we sold our home, I left the 2 Eeros for the buyers. I planned to buy 2 new Eeros for my new home, but discovered it would be a huge pain to run cat6 cable to the 2nd Eero. I found a...

I do own my own cable modem. Xfinity still locks me out the modem. Even if they didn't, the modem wouldn't be able to tell which device(s) are consuming the most data.

I retired nearly 5 years ago and we've moved twice in past 3 years. First move (1000 miles away) was a huge mistake and we were very unhappy with where we were living. After 16 months, we moved a 2nd time (2000 mile move) and extremely glad we did. We're as happy as we can be in our present...

I've been getting very close to the Xfinity monthly data caps (~1.3TB) for past 6 months. What's interesting is we had a monthly download data usage average of ~400GB when we were Spectrum internet customers prior to moving 9 months ago. It's just me and DW with about the same number of...

You will love it. We live right next to Olympic National Park. Wonderful place to visit in the summer. When my family comes to visit, I take them to spend a few days at Lake Quinault Resort & Quileute Oceanside Resort. Taking the loop around the area (Hwy 12 from Grand Mound to 101 from...

The Medicare website, when searching for supplement plans within a zipcode, will show ALL insurance companies that have plans available to be purchased. An agent is not going to be able to provide more options than what the Medicare website will show. An agent can provide their perspective on...

We've had lots of FB posts in our local city FB group for people having to move and needing to sell their household goods at really low prices. The catch was people had to put down a deposit "to hold the item(s)" before you could pick up. The poster also disabled comments and said for anyone...

DW and I downsized from our 4500 sq ft home (no mortgage) in Denver to a 2000 sq ft rental home near Austin 2 years ago. It was a mental challenge getting over throwing away $2400 rent each month as well as the very hot weather. Rental home was only 4 years old but built as cheaply as the...

Wonderful story. Hope you can keep playing guitar for many more years. Agree it's a great way to keep our brain in shape.

I was going to suggest this also. We took the F line and spent a day at Coney Island. It was a fun time. There's a great brewery on Surf Ave. Brighton Beach's Boardwalk was interesting too.
