Re: Sticky board suggestions page!

When I click to load this board I get a warning message that the connection is not secure, or something to that effect. Is this something we should fix? I'll copy the exact message in my next reply.

What's special about $19?

Many TV ads for different topics say the price for the item or service is $19/month. Why would an advertiser think this is an appealing price?

Spam Risk

I’m rather bemused that our Spectrum-based phone lines frequently come up with a “SPAM RISK” username on calls. It’s a feature we never asked for, but I’m glad to use it. The few times I’ve listened to one of these calls it was indeed a waste of time, listening to a feature described that I don’t wa...

Re: Trump the Defamatory Rapist

If a jury finds a defendant is charged with a fine to pay the person who has been defamed does the court have any responsibility to see that the fine is paid?

Re: Poor Donald....

I thought we could do a "delete" with the edit function. I then went back to one of my old posts and tried to edit it. I couldn't find the edit icon. Do you suppose that is a temporary problem, or are they changing the rules? "went" was edited in.

Re: Met has to pay Anna Netrebko $200,000 for canceled performances

A supernumerary ("super") is a silent actor. I got to play one when the Met came to Cleveland when I was a teenager. The opera was Carmen. There were some supers playing people stading around outside the factory where Carmen worked. A bunch of us stood around and watched onstage. The backstage actio...

Controlling your Facebook site

We just replaced a water heater, and as part of the process I used a Google tab to go to a national hardware store site to find the cost of a water heater tank. Soon after I did this I noticed at least 5 articles on how to get a water tank replaced appear on Facebook. I don't recall ever seeing thes...

Trumpism will last forever

Before the Trump-Clinton election I got tired of listening to Trump and news about him. I looked forward to the end of the election that Trump should lose, never to be heard from again. Much to my surprise and dismay Trump won, and the news media was continually filled with news about him. He didn’t...

Re: They want your attention

That's great info, BB. I'm going to send it on to my relatives. The people most likely to respond to the ads are Spectrum clients already, who aren't eligible for the offer. I wonder if Spectrum is interested in buying the Brooklyn Bridge from me?
