Prime MM in the early 80s

Wife and I both got a Pixel 2 (non XL) last year. Recently had the power drain issue, and fixed with clear memory on Play Store app and restart. We love it.

Ordered a Pixel 2 XL to replace my 4 year old Nexus 5. I don't like the high price, the Nexus line was a super bargain, however I've been spoiled by the regular software updates and no vendor installed bloatware. This is also my first big splurge since I hit my number! I'm now trying to loosen the p...

My family has spent Thanksgiving for several years at Siesta Key on the Gulf coast. Fly into Tampa. It's relatively quiet and inexpensive that time of year. We rent on or near the beach, and the younger ones use rental bicycles to get around.

When ever my family starts a new drug, I always have the pharmacist price it both ways, with and without insurance. At least at Costco it's sometimes substantially cheaper.

The frustrating part for me was that in February I started checking my investment email account daily for the alumni announcement. In past years the email was sent out in mid-February. My dear wife and I where on an out of town get-away the first weekend of April, so we didn't see it in time. :( I v...

I use the Amex Premium plan too, and got to test it out when my Enterprise rental car was scraped while in a parking lot. The rental guys swore that Amex wasn't primary and wouldn't cover the damage, so they charged my Amex card for the repair, loss of use and admin fees. All I had to do was make on...

We've had Kaspersky, McAfee, older Norton. All gone. Running the free version of Malware Bytes and the free version of Avast. The computer runs waaaaay faster and actually sees blocks and cleans out the garbage that ALL of those paid for services missed. Totally agree with the free versions of Malw...

As for me, I've been in the IT field for 35 years on both sides of the hiring table. When I was the hiring manager, the HR folks did the initial screen and always checked to see if the candidate's compensation expectation was within the budget. That said, as a job seeker I would never tell a recruit...

PenFed has gone though a few iterations with the chip cards, so it's hard to get the current story from old posts. This page on the PenFed website (posted 4/4/14) says "PenFed chip enabled credit cards are a smart choice because they include both signature and PIN verification." http://blo...
