Congratulations! I still remember that day for me too. Enjoy!

Yes, bicycling is one of my hobbies. I've been cycling since I was a kid. After retirement, I started riding around the country roads behind my home. I upgraded bikes three times and now own a nice road bike. I joined a group of retirees that ride 3 times a week for 20-40 miles at a time. I...

Oh no, I got rid of it before I could claim my prize! :laugh::laugh:

Thanks. At least my problem had a simple solution.

When I go to the settings, Safari,Search engine, it says "google". I have options of yahoo, bing and duckduckgo. All this time I thought Safari was a search engine but I guess its not. By the way, this is the new ipad air 2.

That switch was on and the pop up still got through. That's a bad one.

Bestwifeever, your suggestion here is what did it. :dance: I have never had to clear history or websites from the settings page before now. This has been a good lesson to learn. I was instant messaging with an Apple tech and she said that was going to be the first thing she would ask me to do...

That's what we have been doing but it shows back up in short order so that is not a good option either. Well, I haven't tried that yet but might do it later. Thanks for the information. I might end up doing that too. No we didn't do that but I'll give it a try to see if that works. Thanks...

Our new ipad recently began receiving a pop-up that locks up the ipad. Here is a link to a picture of the pop-up. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6975779 The only way to get rid of it is to turn off the ipad and restart it. This is only temporary as it will return a short time later...

Congratulations to the two new retirees! Hope you love it as much as I do.:greetings10:

Merry Christmas Al and Lena. Another great video. I enjoyed them all.

Yes I do enjoy cycling. I've been riding bicycles since I was a kid. Back then it was our only source of traveling since we lived out of town and had to keep in touch with our friends who lived miles apart. When I served in the US Navy, I did not like driving into any of the bases so I would...

Only one income. Over the years started at age 27 contributing max to 401k. Everytime I got a raise, my lifestyle did not go up because I banked it in a non-qualified account and invested it. I took advantage of every megacorp savings or stock plans that I could. We always drove nice vehicles...

I rebuilt two of these chairs within the last year and I just went to the largest and oldest hardware store in town and lo and behold, they actually had it hanging on a display board. Cost me just about $10 for two chairs. Just try individual owned hardware stores and check with them. It...

After reading some of the posts above, I think I had a better deal. As part of Mega-corps policy we received a Mastercard gift card equal to some percentage of something I can't remember and it was for about $450. Then I received another $100 or so from individuals and then another $100 from...

We don't have a Fidelity brick and mortar office near here at all. Nearest one is in Houston Tx. (about 5 hour drive). I hear everyone talking about Private Client bennies but as a member myself, I can say I've never been offered anything of the sort. I figured it was the distance from me and...

We have also increased our spending recently. New SUV for DW, new truck for me, new dishwasher for us and a cruise booked for end of February. We aren't getting any younger and we realize how fortunate we are to enjoy our lives while we are healthy and able to do what we want. We are 3 years...

Congratulations Brewer! My kind of day...... Now, break out the black iron pot and cut the onions!

Welcome Jerry. I agree with others who have said that you should be concerned by what this adviser told you. Everything that you posted should be "red-flagged" by you, so just start learning why your concerns are warranted. You've got some reading to do now and it will be liberating for you...

Staying in tonight. Watching football. Dinner was red beans and rice, turkey, sauteed cabbage and washed down with Miller Lite. I already updated all of my spreadsheets for 2013 but still have to build for 2014. Right now the fireworks are all around me so at midnight we'll probably go...

Good comment F4mandolin. My sentiments exactly. I think it should be spread around more. In speaking for myself, I don't think one individual should "win" so much money. I'd feel better buying a ticket with better odds and less to win. What in the world would I need with $$316 million? Yes I...

Thanks again TromboneAl. I look forward to your video each year. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Also glad to see those bicycles rolling again for the whole family.
