For less than what I was paying AT&T directly for two lines for about four months, I bought a year of service for two lines using two different networks through an MVNO.
I still need to get one of those lines off of AT&T, but at least the other lines I’m paying for are now under one roof, so to speak. Should be a lot cheaper in the end.
I was asked to go to Israel in May. My United flight got cancelled when stuff heated up over there. The trip got rescheduled to the end of June. They asked me to rebook using El Al, which was still flying. I refused because I did not want to encounter what is now happening: El Al evacuated their planes out of Israel [onemileatatime.com].
Yeah, I think it’ll be a while before I go to Israel again.
@matigo the last few years have involved a lot of changes in my life. Unfortunately, my diet has slipped a bit from where it was.
This discovery does confirm what I was doing is, in fact, what I should be doing. If it keeps my migraines away and reduces my allergy symptoms, even better.
After first getting migraines 10 years ago, I started wondering why. Earlier this week, after a migraine that lasted two days, I finally connected the dots: I am gluten intolerant.
Thankfully, anything with gluten is something I probably shouldn’t consume anyway.
@variablepulserate Oh I don't clean the house all at once either.
Vacuuming the carpets has been occurring roughly weekly. The upstairs carpets on the upper floors takes me maybe 20 minutes.
The downstairs is a laminate (not carpeted) floor and gets vacuumed a couple times a week or as-needed because cat litter.
Other housecleaning tasks are done as needed. There is little need to do a "top to bottom" cleaning.
@variablepulserate That's part of the reason I bought a second one. That and the battery life on the first one I bought wasn't long enough to do all the carpets in the condo in one go. The new one can do them all with some battery to spare.
A friend of a friend contacted me on Facebook messenger…or so I thought. Apparently their account got hacked, which I verified “out of band.”
Why do I still use this damn thing? Oh, right, my day job. 🙄
@peemee the mini is probably my favorite size. I have a 6 that I use as a soundboard most of the time. 😉
@variablepulserate yes. The higher end unit I bought (yes, I actually bought two of them) came with the light-up head specifically for hard floors. It also does carpets with a different head. The other unit is a little smaller and works great in my car as well as for touchups on the ground floor (no carpet there). The attachments are interchangeable.
May have spent more than necessary, but at the end of the day, if it helps me clean the house more often, which helps with my allergies, it’s a good investment. Given what I see coming out of those vacuums, I’d say it’s doing a good job, too.
@variablepulserate neither can I. Of course, I haven’t spent a lot of time looking at it either since I only recently started listening to Rush (and buying vinyl).
