[18:10] * Joins: web17
[18:10] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hey hey KK!
[18:10] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> KK?
[18:10] * web17 is now known as KK
[18:10] <KK> Hello, mostly frozen people.
[18:10] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> lol
[18:11] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Are you a wee bit frozen this evening?
[18:11] <~bynw> Hi KK
[18:11] <KK> It never got out of the 20s here in Staunton.
[18:11] <~bynw> frozen here. we got snow on thursday afternoon. more snow on saturday. and on the weekend he have had lows in the negatives and highs in the mid teens
[18:12] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Central Texas is supposed to hit a low of 32 F tonight. I was just wheeling potted plants inside, and found a Christmas present package on the other side of my back gate.
[18:12] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> That's a wee bit chill, I can't deny
[18:12] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Currently 27F here with a "feels like" temp of 18
[18:12] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And that's in Alabama, so I don't even want to imagine temps north of here!
[18:13] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> We're toasty at 46°. The window is still opened.
[18:13] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oh, speaking of presents, I'll brb. I just recalled one might be dropped off at the door today and don't want it left sitting outside if it's there
[18:13] <~bynw> but this week we are going to have temps in the upper 30s and even into the 40s so all the snow is going to melt away
[18:16] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I would be grateful for 40s right now, even though that's normally too cold for me
[18:17] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hi Everyone
[18:17] <The_Bee> I rode my trike to a church potluck.  I thought I'd lost my way in the dark. ByWe had a church potluck, and on the way I got lost in the dark.  By the time I got there, the meal was over. On my home my e-bike battery died.I had to alternate between strugling to pedalvand struggling to push.l was over and they were watching a movie.  My bike's
[18:17] <The_Bee> battery died on my way home;
[18:17] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hello!
[18:17] <The_Bee> Hi KK
[18:18] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh dear, Bee!
[18:18] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hi Jerusha
[18:18] <~bynw> hi Jerusha
[18:18] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Glad you made it back home OK
[18:19] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Bee, could someone not give you a ride to the event?
[18:19] <The_Bee> I'd planned to recharge the battery at church, but I left some necessary equipment at home.
[18:19] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Bee, I'm sorry to hear all that, that bites. 🙁
[18:20] <The_Bee> One good thin: Our minister iked to deviled eggs I brought.
[18:20] <The_Bee> liked
[18:20] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> That's good
[18:20] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Good plan to make nice with t he minister. 🙂
[18:20] <The_Bee> I need to bringthe battery in to charge it.
[18:21] <The_Bee> I left the eggs for today's coffee hour.  I stqyed home.
[18:21] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Family always calls right when chat starts
[18:22] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That's what the Mute button is for.  😉
[18:22] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> It's a tradition, laurna
[18:22] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[18:22] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Family is always great for such things.
[18:22] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Right
[18:22] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Also voicemail
[18:23] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Last night at 5pm  mom calls says she had not been feeling well so she called the ambulance and they took her to ER.  I meet her in ER.  by 2pm she was discharged as FINE.  so I took her home and then I spent the rest of the night on the couch.  Now my siblings are calling to find out what happened.
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> (Although if it's my parents, I will answer in case it's a medical emergency. Then again, I also know they will respect "I'm in the middle of something at the moment; can I call you back later?")
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I've escaped the store, but now I have to drive home.  My car thermometer has dropped from 17 F to 15 F since I got in.
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Hiya KK! And everyone else!
[18:24] <The_Bee> Hi Quasijabbo
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Ah. Yeah, medical matters take precedence, although you would think if they know you have a weekly chat, they might use better timing and call you earlier or later. 🙂
[18:24] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Sounds  chilly to me
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Oh now it says 14F! Yay! It's quite frigid out there
[18:25] <KK> Brrrr. Cold....!
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Feels like -9
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Where are you, QuasiSparklz?
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> How much colder is it going to get by 6 am? Down to 2°
[18:25] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Wow, it dropped a degree in that short time?  Brrr!
[18:26] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Northern Illinois, about 30 miles north of Chicago
[18:26] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Yep, it's cold there
[18:27] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Plus you've got that lovely humidity that bring that cold right down to the skin.
[18:29] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I am not sure where ColdWater Michigan is, but we once looked at some lovely victorian homes there that were for sale.  I said look at the name.  No I am not moving there.
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> But it's cozy, Laurna!
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I want to live in a Victorian home so badly.  It's one of my dreams
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> In the house with all the fireplaces Going.  I am sure it must be
[18:30] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Victorian homes have stairs.  I'll pass.
[18:31] <~bynw> and may be below standards ... no AC, wiring that needs updated, all kinds of potential issues with one
[18:32] <~bynw> packers 26/broncos 34 almost to the 2 minute warning in the 4th quater
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Go Green Bay!
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> sounds like the packers are not doing very good this year
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> BTW: To get a bonus in an app, I'm clicking in a comic on Tapas. Episode titles are like "Little Princess Evie", "Evie's New Hobby", "Evie's Gift", "Evie's a Mage",  ... The comic is "The Genius Princess Built The Strongest Fief". One guess what the genius princess is named.
[18:33] <~bynw> go broncos!
[18:33] <The_Bee> Patriots lost 
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> They have been doing well, but had too many penalties today
[18:33] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> ah, too bad
[18:34] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Well, I only know one mage...
[18:34] <The_Bee> They blew a 14-point lead.
[18:34] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Yep
[18:34] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Her name is Jenine, but I'm guessing your mage is named Evie. But is it pronounced EE-vie or A-vie?
[18:34] <KK> I know about Victorian houses. Yes they can be a money pit, but slow and steady wins the race to restore.
[18:35] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> "Blew" may not be fair.  Broncos had a stake in this too
[18:35] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> The victorian houses are so beautiful
[18:35] <The_Bee> I meant the bills vs Pats game.
[18:35] <~bynw> and the chiefs lost today too and they are out of the playoff picture
[18:35] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I'd prefer a castle with central heating
[18:35] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Or "Eh-vie" to rhyme with "Chevy" or "levy"?
[18:36] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Boo hiss, Bynw
[18:36] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> So are there any non-football fans here? Do we need to rename chat to AmFoot_Destinations? 🙂
[18:36] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> how are you going to find a castle with Central heating?
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I always thought it was EEE-vie
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> How do you put ducts in stone walls
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Rhymes with EVIL!
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I only watch sportsball if it's Auburn vs Alabama or the Army/Navy game. But even then, I'm fine with just finding out what the final score it
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I only watch sportsball if it's Auburn vs Alabama or the Army/Navy game. But even then, I'm fine with just finding out what the final score is
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Fill the main floor with a bunch of Scottish Deerhounds
[18:37] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Nope.  It's short for "Evian"
[18:38] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Fill the undercroft with the cattle and sheep.
[18:38] <The_Bee> I'm a fair-weather sports fan.  I seldom watch games. but I'm glad when any local team wins.
[18:38] <~bynw> on the subject of Deryni ... we have wrapped up the current story arc in Forgotten Shadows. The PC's have saved Grecotha from destruction.
[18:38] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And don't breathe deep, TM
[18:38] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> We always try to do our part, Bynw
[18:39] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If only I had a dollar for every time someone misspelled my name that way here....  😄
[18:39] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> three cheers for Elspeth, played by Jerusah, our team leader!
[18:39] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Given some of your antagonists ... 🙂
[18:39] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Oh dear, Evie - I've been wrong for all these years
[18:39] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Are you sure those mispellings are accidents?
[18:40] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Leader only among the characters, not the writers.
[18:40] <KK> brb Gotta take an alleargy pill.
[18:40] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I mean, Evil (um... Evie) does remove lots of heads
[18:40] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I answer to the name either way, but rhymes-with-Chevy is the version that I use
[18:41] <The_Bee> The correct pronunciation of a name is whatever its bearer prefers.
[18:41] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have a birth name that is constantly mispronounced, so I suppose it's only fitting that my online name should be the same. 😄
[18:41] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> It's kind of like changing A-laar-c to Al-a-ric
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Drove my Chevy to the levy to see Evie run dry
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Nah, you just need to go to Google Docs and watch me struggle to type a sentence on the page.
[18:42] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And good old Deryni were riding right by...
[18:43] <The_Bee> My computer likes to rearrange my words while I'm typing.
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> My Squires become squirrels  at every opportunity.
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And dukes ducks
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Are they green?
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> You yes that too
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> The princess was actually named Evelina, so I suspect she's also in the group of rhymes-with-Chevy the car make.
[18:44] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's odd that it does that. I wonder if something is sticking, or what is causing that to happen?
[18:45] <~bynw> Word auto correct? or Google Docs auto correct?
[18:45] <KK> Back.
[18:45] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not my computer. Bee's.
[18:46] <~bynw> stray mouse clicks with a touchpad
[18:46] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> HI KK  hope your week has been good and you are keeping warm
[18:46] <~bynw> wb KK
[18:47] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> KK, when do you leave for Oklahoma? And is Daphne coming with you?
[18:48] <KK> Week was ok. I'm told that a Watchman implant may be suitable for my heart; eliminates the need to take blood thinners. And that's my most expensive med.
[18:49] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Wow,  My mom is having A-fib,  lately.
[18:49] <The_Bee> To answer your question, Jerusha, the couple who sometimes give me a ride were home with visiting family members.
[18:49] <KK> I leave for OKC on the 23rd, returning on the 29th.
[18:49] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> OK, Bee
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Sounds like a great Christmas get away.
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> My first reaction for "Watchman" was that it would play music to soothe the savage breast.
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> (It's an actual medical device, tho)
[18:50] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I had the same thought, TM
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I think that is a Walkman.
[18:51] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> lol
[18:52] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Well yes, but...
[18:53] <The_Bee> My plans for Christmas with family in Vermont are not yet scheduled.
[18:54] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> When ever I think of Christams and Vermont  I think of BingCrosby and Danny Kaye
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I was surprised to see portable cassette players at the store today...
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Snow... Snow... SNOW
[18:55] <The_Bee> A lot of movies are set in Vermont.
[18:55] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Fans of retro, no doubt
[18:56] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> Indeed. I guess I shouldn't be as surprised with the way vinyl has comeback. I hear CDs are on the rise again too.  And I did ask for a turntable for Christmas
[18:56] <The_Bee> I wouldn't call Bernie Saunders "retro".
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I'd like to yell at the fans of vinyl records and cassette tapes, "THEY SUCKED! I COULDN'T WAIT TO REPLACE THEM! CDs WERE GLORIOUS! "
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I didn't realize Bernie Saunders was a portable cassette recorder. 😄
[18:57] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> And at his age, he's retro retro anyway.
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> You can't be retro if you've never gone away. 😄
[18:58] <The_Bee> My newcomputer doesn' play cds.  I need to find out if old video cassete player works.'
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> And ripping my CDs to computer was even better. All my music, right here at my fingertips. Anytime I want it.
[18:58] <~bynw> i did that will all of my cds
[18:58] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> I still have my discman. And a boombox
[18:59] <~bynw> handbrake is a great app for doing that on a pc
[18:59] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> My computer doesn't play CDs on its own. I have one that connects by USB cable.
[19:00] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Disc player/reader attachments for your computer are pretty cheap, Bee. You can find 'em for under $25.
[19:00] <The_Bee> I just want to record tv shows so I can watch them at my convenience.
[19:01] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Netflix and you can watch what they have any time.  trouble is they do not have everything
[19:01] <The_Bee> Thanks for the tip, stnezz
[19:01] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> For example, https://www.bestbuy.com/product/dell-dw316-8x-slim-external-usb-dvdrw-cd-rw-drive-black/J3K4L9TS6F/sku/4697703?utm_source=feed&extStoreId=1153 may be the one I have, or very close. It can read CDs or DVDs, and also burn CD, CD-RW ,and DVD+-RW.
[19:02] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I understand that Netflix also withdraws shows suddenly.
[19:02] <The_Bee> My Verizon account is supposed to include Disney+ and Hulu.
[19:03] <The_Bee> I watch some shows on pluto, Prime  or tuvo.
[19:03] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> No matter what streaming service a show is on, it's subject to their whims whether they will continue streaming it or not. The only way to be able to count on watching a show whenever you want is to own it yourself.
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> As much as Verizon charges for service, if you are meant to have Disney+ and Hulu, I would definitely look into watching both as much as possible to get your money's worth
[19:04] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> My brother has a friend who borrows media from the library and then rips it to a media server he has set up
[19:05] <The_Bee> Verizon is supposed to be cheaper than Xfinity, but it's a bit inconvenient.
[19:05] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hey Jerusha, you've got a question on another server.
[19:05] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Inconvenient how?
[19:06] <The_Bee> I need to know if I'm double-paying.
[19:06] <CG> [discord] <ninjabbo.> My week was quite busy. I wrapped up interviews for work and now face the arduous task of selecting a candidate to make an offer.  I've narrowed it down to 4 options out of the 11 I interviewed.
[19:07] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I switched from Verizon to Visible recently because I couldn't afford to keep paying twice as much as I'm currently paying for fewer amenities.  I'm currently paying $35/month with unlimited everything, including mobile hotspot when I need it, and Verizon was more than twice that for me, *without* getting unlimited data or the ability to use my phone as a mobile hotspot, which I  <clipped message>
[19:07] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> sometimes need if I am at lunch using my tablet to write and need to connect to Google Docs.
[19:07] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Answered it, sort of
[19:08] <The_Bee> Inconvenient because I knew how to record shows on Xfinity.  I'm trying to get dvr service set up for Verizon.
[19:09] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Ah, so you're using it for internet as well?  I was only using Verizon for phone service.
[19:10] <The_Bee> I wish I could find an antenna that worked.  I've tried several, and gotten exactly ZERO channels on every one.
[19:10] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> They might not be placed high enough to get good signals
[19:10] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed that I would have to pay for my hotspot now.
[19:12] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> We use an attic antennae, a lot like a rooftop antennae but it's in the attic. It gets all kinds of channels for us.
[19:13] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> We have satellite.  Not much choice in the far north
[19:13] <The_Bee> I don't know what I'm using for internet.  I just know that I keep getting told to plug in my computer when It's already plugged in.
[19:13] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I was amused last night when I was helping my dad look up phones and mobile service providers that are senior citizen friendly, and found one service that has a basic monthly rate of $10/month (or $25 if you need unlimited data) and includes the ability to use the phone as a hotspot. Because when I was with Verizon, it would have cost me an additional $10/month on top of the almo <clipped message>
[19:13] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> st $100 for my phone plan if I wanted to use it as a hotspot.
[19:14] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And that's with my phone paid for out of pocket, so that doesn't include the cost of the phone added to the bill. That was *only* for the monthly service.
[19:15] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My parents' antenna is also in their attic, Nezz, and it works pretty well for them most of the time.
[19:15] <The_Bee> There's a tree blocking the signals.
[19:15] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I use Tello for mobile phone. It's a US reseller of T-Mobile, I think. Until Dec. 22, they have $15/mo for unlimited data, 10 GB hotspot, $25/mo after 3 months.
[19:16] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> (I got an earlier promotion of $15/mo for the next year for unlimited.)
[19:16] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That sounds similar to Mint Mobile, TM, which is what my husband uses and likes
[19:16] <~bynw> i just use t-mobile and pay only $90 for 3 lines and unlimited use
[19:18] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I used to use another company, much the same ... Ting, that's what it was. I forget why I switched off of it, I'm afraid.
[19:18] <The_Bee> I've seen ads for Mint.  I hate to keeping trying one thing after another, but....
[19:20] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My DH likes Mint. I think they use T-Mobile's towers, which used to not work well in my part of the neighborhood, but in recent years their service has gotten a lot better.  I am mainly paying a little more for my service with a different company because it uses Verizon's towers, and while I might hate Verizon's prices, I do like their coverage map, and for years it was the only  <clipped message>
[19:20] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> service provider with a signal we could pick up well from my house.
[19:21] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I'm sure there are restrictions. With Ting, I could only use my phone over WiFi. International, I haven't a clue, but I'd probably buy a burner phone for that anyway. But for texting, calling, and Webbing in the contiguous states, it's fine.
[19:21] <~bynw> check out visible Evie, they are Verizon's cheaper alternative
[19:21] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I'm sure there are restrictions on any of these third-party vendors. With Ting, I could only use my phone over WiFi. International, I haven't a clue, but I'd probably buy a burner phone for that anyway. But for texting, calling, and Webbing in the contiguous states, it's fine.
[19:21] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I just keep getting flashbacks of my first T-Mobile phone from years ago that would only let me make phone calls if I was standing in the front yard or in a particular corner of my bathroom.  LOL!  But DH's phone doesn't have that issue.
[19:22] <The_Bee> Is Visible available in Massachusetts?
[19:22] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm on Visible, Bynw. That's what I switched to.
[19:22] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Probably, Bee.  You can try Googling them.  I think it's some obvious address like visible.com
[19:23] * ~bynw needs to go make popcorn for SNF
[19:24] <~bynw> promised my DW that i would make some
[19:24] <The_Bee> Mint Mobile, Visible.com   any others for tv and internet?
[19:24] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Though you might need someone to help you with the setup.  The one issue I had was with switching my phone service, since it didn't work correctly at first and the Visible customer service folks had to do something on their end to get the transfer to go through and let me port over my old phone number to the new service, and that took overnight to go through properly. But I haven <clipped message>
[19:24] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 't had any issues since then.
[19:25] <The_Bee> My phone is AT&T
[19:25] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Don't know about TV and internet, Bee.  But if nothing else, maybe you can keep the TV and internet with whatever provider is working best for you and just use something else that costs less for your phone service.
[19:26] <The_Bee> That's my plan, evie.
[19:26] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> AT&T tends to be super pricy also, or at least it was when I last looked into it. Their prices were about as high as Verizon's, so it didn't make any sense for me to switch to them.
[19:27] <The_Bee> #30-something a month
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I must toddle off.  Have a good week, everyone!
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Just be aware that the less expensive phone services like Mint or Visible don't have brick-and-mortar stores with a service desk, so you would have to use your laptop and online chat with their customer service people if you need help setting your phone up. Either that or find someone you know who can set it up for you.
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> night Jerusha. Take care and feed Hammy plenty of peanuts
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <tm_9039> I have AT&T just for their cheapest Internet and a fairly basic TV package.  No phone. $279/mo, God help me. Google fiber is extending to my neighborhood FINALLY and I hope to kick AT&T to the curb. Or kerb, if you prefer.
[19:28] <The_Bee> Nighters, Jerusha!  Have a good week.
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hammy burps with pleasure.
[19:28] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Good Night Jerusha
[19:29] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The first time I ever saw "kerb" and "gaol" in a book, I was so confused, because it was in an American juvenile book series, but I bought the book in England and it had been translated accordingly.
[19:29] <~bynw> most of those cheaper services dont do tv or anything. just cell service and internet on your phone or tablet
[19:29] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> I think we chased KK away. 🙂
[19:30] <CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I am going to sign out for now and get me some dinner
[19:30] <KK> All this technology has me frustrated. Too many passwords. I had my phone with Xfinity, which I liked, I was  was pissed at Comcast and it's impossible telephone trees. And you can't have Xfiinity phone unless you also have their internet. I was going to drop Comcast and switch to streaming, but that would have been yet another complication.
[19:30] <KK> Anyway, I'd switched to T-Mobile for phone, at Cameron's recommendation, (and changed from Android phone to Smartphone, which had a steep learning curve.) had that for about a year, then changed to AT&T to get an upgraded phone, from 13 to 16. But I've mostly gotten over my pissedness with Comcast.  I'm going to pick Cameron's brain while I'm
[19:30] <KK> there.
[19:30] <The_Bee> If I can find a working antenna....
[19:31] <KK> And on that note, I think I'll also toddle off for some food. Everybody stay warm and safe, and don't let the holiday stresses get you down.
[19:31] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Yes, it's always best if you have family who can walk you through stuff.
[19:31] <The_Bee> Same to you, KK!
[19:31] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I got a new phone from DH for my birthday. I had been looking at it for over a month waiting for the prices to come down, which they finally did after Thanksgiving
[19:31] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> You have a great night, KK, and a happy dinner.
[19:31] <CG> [discord] <bynw> have a good week KK
[19:32] <The_Bee> Good dinner, good night and good wee,KK
[19:32] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of purple sparkles.
[19:32] <The_Bee> week
[19:32] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Speaking of DH, I hear him puttering around in the kitchen making something dinnerlike
[19:32] <CG> [discord] <stnezz> Purple sparkles, yay!
[19:32] <KK> Nighters, all!
[19:32] <CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Goodnight!
