Thanks fellas. Hope my earlier post didn't come off as complaining, i was in a bit of a stupor haha. Not gonna lie, he and I have not always seen eye to eye. But we're happy to try to take care of him and let him live his final days, however long they may be, with dignity.

 

That's all anyone can ask for. You're a good dude for that, man.

Currently in the waiting room while my wife gets an ectopic pregnancy removed. Stressful time on a roller coaster of emotions.

This probably been mentioned before. But my vehicle was hit three times with slush and ice on my commute on rt70 this morning. It wasn't much to brush off. Please people have a bit of consideration.

While I'm glad Zoom, etc exists...  I'm so over it.  It's great that we had this technology to leverage during this pandemic...  but you definitely miss something without the direct in-person human interaction.

You do, I agree - and if I were more business oriented, I'd probably feel how you do - but I feel you gain more than you lose. Time is everything. And I Do. Not. Miss. all the hours wasted getting ready, driving, dealing with traffic, etc.

Certainly something to be said for having a quick virtual meeting vs. spending the time driving somewhere to meet etc.  Get some time back, can also have additional meetings or do something else with that time... so that productivity does matter.  

But I find the quality of the conversations to be decidedly reduced vs. what they were in-person... so even though I've got that time back, the time spent was of lower quality. 

I don't know...tradeoffs I guess. 

Will be interesting to see how things adjust when we have the ability to meet.  Many people have voiced they will only do things via Zoom, etc going forward.

Had that issue recently too. There were 18 Amazon purchases in one day, all relatively cheap thank god. Called the bank and they said it came from my wife’s card. So they cancelled it, mailed her a new one. We did get the funds back. They cancelled mine though too without telling me, and without sending me a new one. Which I found out about two days later at the grocery store when it wouldn’t take at the register. She got her nice Ravens card in the mail in two days. When I called the bank and they realized their error, they sent me a new card. I get the dopey plain green one instead of my Ravens one. Then I go to activate it and my pin doesn’t work. I get back on the horn with customer service who “doesn’t handle PIN numbers over the phone”, will send me a new pin in the mail...Went into the branch the next day because I’d already sat on hold over 30 minutes on three separate occasions...explained what happened, said I’d like this card number, applied to a Ravens card, and reset my pin (I had errands to run, wanted to use the card until my Ravens one comes in). There was a language barrier though, I get my new pin, asked about the Ravens card, he offers me a credit card for some reason which decline, I ask again about the Ravens card, says “that card should work. Try in the ATM outside” I get that, I want the card I used to have. “That card works.” Ok. Never mind. It’s just a picture on a card at the end of the day.

A lot of hassle for me when someone hacked my wife’s card.
