Shelter in place, storm blowing through here in east Bexar County, TX. Rain, hail, thunder lightning, very dark. No tornados so far?

We’ve moved a few times, 3 times since retiring 7 years ago. What I’ve learned is: stay in tax free TX, able to walk to nature laden park with paved walking trails, nearby year round lap pool, low crime, well kept neighborhood, lots of close health care choices, military base not too far away...

I have a on year old Apple iPhone with a cracked screen…my bad. I’m worried if I take it in thr repair shop can hack the apps. Anyone have experience getting a screen repaired?

MSM after doing a forum search for plantar fasciitis. Am also dealing with sciatica and spinal osteoarthritis. Checked the usual MD websites and doesn’t seem to have known side effects. Same day delivery. Worth a try…?it makes things better.

I’ve been consulting with FIDO rep regularly since retirement. Every call includes a plug for their Custom Portfolio management service.I know these calls are recorded and FIDO reps are paid by FIDO; not me. I always listen politely, say: I’ll keep this in mind and appreciate the information...

7 tries. Too many options.
