No, never do I do that. I recommended “baiting and terminating” car and catalytic converters thieves. I guess that is okay but protecting your property is not.Was you posting nude pics?
😂
So far I'm not done there, but I posted a meme earlier.
They watch us, so I don't know?
Too bad if I do get kicked once again.
It only concerned the "war".
No one wants that.

Matt reads his review on Instagram… here’s one he got the other day. She/he/it should have went to Subway but then I’m not sure there is a Subway in Park City.
If it was overpriced and average, perhaps she'll take herself elsewhere next time.
Nobody is happy nowadays unless they're complaining about something.
I'm sure Matt's place gets a good regular crowd.
I've been in restaurants where people are complaining through every bite, while oddly enough - still shoving the food down.

What was funny is the other partner is a (silent) trust funded owner.
I fairly regularly review places we go to, though don't leave like the one above. If we think the food is nothing special, overpriced or not, then I just don't bother reviewing unless the service was outstanding or greatly subpar. I've never mentioned price other than something along the lines of "worth every penny" when at a high-end restaurant or "great prices" when reviewing a diner/dive places.
What I do leave reviews for is bad service and/or bad food, like the one I posted recently about this small little place that had to have known how bad the soup they were sending out was. One cook plus the owner and a couple of waitresses, a breakfast and lunch place. I had previously left two 5 star reviews because their food was so good.
"Today, I ordered the chicken noodle soup. I thought I had ordered it from here before and liked it, but either I had not or they have changed the way they make it. Hate to write this but it was by far the worst chicken noodle soup I've ever had. The broth was greasy and tasteless, don't think there was any kind of seasoning in it other than some kind of tiny chopped dark green stuff, parsley maybe. No salt or pepper by the taste. The chicken was dry, stringy and tasteless. The vegetables looked like they were scraps leftover from other things. No uniformity in cuts whatsoever. Got tiny little pieces up to 1.5 x 1 inch pieces. In fact, some of the onion pieces looked like the outside peel pieces that most discard. And, they used elbow macaroni for the noodles. First time I've ever seen that. I know they can be considered noodles, but just seem odd in chicken noodle soup. "
That's not the full review, just the part about the soup. I ended up flushing at least 2/3 of it down the toilet. The sandwich Craig got was as good as always so I don't know what happened. In retrospect, I'm wondering if they hadn't made any the other day and just threw it together for our order. I would rather they had just told me they didn't have any, especially since I got the large for $12 thinking I would have half that day and half the next.

At military pharmacy. Wait time is three hours before my prescription will be ready and it is three premade boxes. My flight from Minneapolis to SeaTac was three hours.

I just got off phone with Alaska Airlines. My bag is lost (stolen) and they are sending me paperwork for claim.
Probably like the time my bag was supposed to go to Gatwick and it ended up at Heathrow.
2 days later a guy in a white van delivered it to our house in Wakefield.
Whew!

I was wondering why you posted so on Facebook. What happened? You got hacked? It's unlikely some individual outsider would hack. But there are other common tricks. One is to trick someone to sign in again on a scam webpage that looks exactly like a legit Facebook page. Another is to "take a survey" which was the most common method used about a decade ago.

I changed my password… just don’t follow me if asked.
Facebook is a sewer. I had an account for lurking, never posted anything.
had Friends Requests restricted to existing Friends-of-Friends, my account had _zero_ friends - theory holds no one could Friend Request me.....
was getting 10-30 'friends requests' every day from very strange people.
finally gave in and started clicking . . . their accounts had been hacked, their photos replaced with animated porno gifs with embedded sites.....
obviously, as later obliquely reported,,,, Facebook "sold" super-admin privileges where cretins could circumvent the system and target user accounts with all kinds of crxp.
I closed the account - that was a mistake.... as any new account requires a phone number - which I ain't no way ever giving out to anything of social media ilk.
The latest trend on FB is for someone to view your profile, which is impossible to hide. Copy your profile pic. Create a new account with same name as you. Then view your friends and send them a friend request. If that happens changing your password has no impact. They never got your password.
The best way to prevent this is to set permission on your friends list to no so that they cannot see who your friends are.
Otherwise not much you can do about it.

FB- occasionally I'll get some "nobody" commenting on a post/comment I made.
They directly use my entire name, followed with " I've tried to message you for a friend request, but it never went through"..
It's totally unrelated to the topic.
There are freaks all over the place.
I keep my friend list private.

Hence I'll never install any app from Meta(Facebook company). They require access to everything including all passwords, contacts, and everything on the device. And then they start spamming not only you, but every contact on your phone. That includes digging through your phone contacts, checking if those numbers have installed Facebook, and suggesting you as friends until the judgement day. In case one adds you then you are in for a display of all their friends that are associated with saved telephone numbers and so on and on.
Those spamming requests and messages are part of the game. Facebook expects that. That's why your friend list is not shown in alphabetical order. If you need to find a contact either you must search for it, or browse the whole list. They deliberately make you go through the whole list.
Actually most of the scams on Facebook are known to them but they don't address them. Because, despite the individual suffering, they get more income from scammers by way of advertising and other methods.

From what I understand the FB app does not access your contacts. No warning is given when it's installed is what I'm basing that on. Any add on's ie: games and stuff within FB give the notice that they will access your contacts so of course I never install those.
However, I have been driving in a car and have my sister in law ask me to check for tires for her car. She needed tires and wondered about price and where to buy etc. So I was going to do a little home work and advise her. The very next day I got on FB from my computer before searching any web site for tires and FB had an add for tires in my timeline. They listen for key words via your phone mic. That is enough of a reason not to have FB on my phone. But , yes I still have it on my puter.

Here's a situation. I'm following the National Tourist Guide Lecturer license course. Everyone I met there was new, never seen before, ever. One day I exchanged phone numbers with a guy from there (we saved numbers on phones), and the next day he had added me on Facebook! I asked him how he knew my Facebook ID and he said that it was suggested by Facebook. That's one example that Facebook not only accesses the contacts, it also digs much deeper than that all the way to the top of the connection tree.
Anyway I never install anything that requires permission to access my personal data. Therefore there aren't many apps on my phone. Lol. Not that I have any secrets, but I don't consider those apps that much important.

How did I miss this? Eggs are the new thing to buy and horde?
I’ll have to buy more next trip to WinCo.

I thought only Sri Lanka has the egg price hike. Looks like it's there elsewhere too.
Here the egg price went up by 400% and people are not buying eggs anymore in protest.

Around here I've seen egg prices anywhere from $4- nearly $7 a dozen.
The curious thing is, the store brand eggs are more expensive than Eggland's Best and even the organic ones.
Butter is crazy now too.
Jule's just sent me a pic of a smoked turkey she saw ( but didn't buy) at our local supermarket.

They were about 25 bucks at the commissary but passed.
I bought eggs at the commissary the other day. Egglands we’re $4.74 for an 18 count and got two. I’ll give one to Peter tomorrow. He said Costco did not have any eggs.

Nancy bought all kinds of Chinese food and, last night, made a huge cheese cake from scratch along with making a cherry topping from scratch. Our guests just cancelled and she is furious.
