Anytime I’ve gotten free books from tradepub I’ve always used “fake” info into the pages and pages of info they request. After a couple, I’ve simply stopped due to the hurdles required to download some free PDF file. It still might be worth it to some folks.

@q-shopper said in Free Masks For Every American - Dhvani:

@rick505 she does ZERO follow up on her posts!!!

Agreed but in fairness the original post is about a year old!

Well, I received my Your FREE MASK is Ready To Ship email today. Turns out the cheapest shipping for my free mask is $6.77 or $8.92 for Carbon Neutral (??). Since I’m now seeing excess hand sanitizer, soap, and even masks at Goodwill stores I think I’ll pass and just use what I already have. Not sure if they initially bit off more than they could chew or it was a feeble plan to promote their business but even if their hearts were in the right place it’s unfortunately “too little too late” for me.

Since I’ve never even visited Hawaii take this response for what it’s worth! My experience in New Mexico was the polar opposite of what you outlined. I registered with a State site and received a notification appointments were available and how to schedule. Once scheduled I arrived at the location and literally walked in and gave them my name and Date of Birth, sat down and they injkected my vaccine. They also gave me the card showing brand and date of injection. At the time I was waiting, 15 minutes in my case, I received my appointment for the second injection. At no point was I asked about insurance. I’m not so naïve that there is enough information traded around that “they” could not have found my insurance and/or Medicare information if they chose to.

As I understand it the Federal Government is paying for the Vaccine however this link indicates this:
Vaccine providers can be reimbursed for vaccine administration fees by patients’ public or private insurance companies, or by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund for uninsured patients.

So it’s somewhat sad that the folks in Hawaii are inclined to put people through hoops just to receive the vaccine. Good Luck.

I noticed a number of new postings by user “guest”. Does Phatwallet allow Guest postings or did a user get into trouble and decided to post as this!

If you don’t want to look at YouTube all day.

Ally bank:
we’re writing to let you know that the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for your Online Savings Account is changing from 0.60% APY to 0.50% APY on all balance tiers. Your new APY is effective 12/11/2020 and will show online in your account details on 12/12/2020.

I’ve “ignored” users but it still shows the posting but not the text in the body so not really useful. I don’t want to see a downvote or similar button but perhaps that is what will be needed.

Slightly off topic but I’m one of those without a local bank account. When I needed something notarized I remembered I have a Bank of America Credit card so was able to visit a local BofA branch. Even without having any kind of deposit account or other loan, etc, I was able to obtain the free notary service for an affidavit.

@studentsavings said in Discussion on Startups:

@rick505 Wow thats interesting. So essentially we should shift our focus specifically to medical bills?

I’m not sure but as mentioned above I’m also probably not your customer but with aging of America, increases in medical expenses and perhaps inability for individuals able/willing to negotiate billings it might be something to look into.

Like stated above shows OOS but did allow me to sign up for notification if/when back in stock. Heck, why not try.

Possibly a future in negotiating medical bills. I can’t recall the forum or site but have followed discussions when people asked for guidance in attempting to drop a surprise medical bill. Most centered around finding out various negotiated “amount allowed” insurance rates and starting from there over the “Amount billed” amount they received. Even offering to settle for 50% seemed to be accepted by hospitals and Doctors.

There was an IHOP built and opened just prior, well within a year, of Covid. I drove past a couple of days ago and thought I saw a realtor for sale/rent sign posted on the front door. I suspect it will be one of the “nearly 100” closing.

Ah, that explains why they asked me if I wanted to try a Blueberry Muffin when I used their drive-thru for lunch today. I thought it was a little odd at that time of day and not at breakfast.

I’m curious if “new companies are being created at nearly twice the rate this year compared to previous years” means new Corporations/Partnerships (basically formal business) or include anyone with a “side gig” type business? I also wonder if “With less people working, more people have time on their hands, which can spur creativity” it may also be more out of desperation/need. Sorry, that’s all I got but certainly will be following this thread.

I’d start with downloading and install Keyfinder thing and see what might be stored as the product key for your Office 2003. This might be better explained at: https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-find-product-keys-for-older-ms-office-versions-2625094
I’d check and see if there is a stored key that might be different than what you want to enter (or at least confirm you typed it correctly…B instead of 8 etc).

Of course, this is where I get snarky and suggest you just abandon MS Office, especially version 2003, and install Libre Office but I won’t do that

I just received notice of my $3.98 eBay Bucks. I guess these are as good as anything to spend them on.

Wait 6 months and I suspect a bunch will show up at Goodwill and the like stores when folks stop using them and want the space back!

An error has been encountered
Maintenance work is currently being carried out, please try again later. Thank you!

This has been happening much of the day and the folks over at giveawayoftheday aren’t too happy.

@jtownsucks46 Mine was UPS Mail Innovations. It took the scenic route before USPS actually delivered to my mailbox.

@ruthie said in Free 30 day Sample Bottle Broad Spectrum CBD Softgels w/quiz -new customers exp unk:

I had the bottle in 2 days. Professional company.

I’ve received my tracking number but no delivery yet. So I tend to agree about the company. Of course, I’ve not actually tried the product yet.

No Love for New Mexico…I guess I’ll keep using the antenna in my attic pointed to the transmitter towers!

Darn it…apparently the “Phatwallet Effect” when I clicked the link in the confirmation e-mail:
This site can’t be reachedgreek-olive.com took too long to respond.

I’ll keep trying

We have reached the maximum number of requests admitted as the number of stickers was limited.

If you want to proceed with your request, keep in mind that you will be added to a waiting list in case of futher deliveries.

@c3 One issue with Comcast, and possibly others, is they offer different rates at different locations. The price you receive is not available to me unless I get basically dial-up Internet speeds.

I also have a limited service but wanted higher Internet Speeds. Those speeds were only offered with larger bundles. When pressed they would offer “Internet only” but at a significant price jump even over the bundled rates. Finally was able to juggle speed and bundled price but still at the $100+ per month and they add a $6.00/month local TV access when I use an antenna in my attic.

I used to like the store and could always find somewhat decent prices on a piece of clothing or two. They closed my closest store a few years ago and I never felt the need to travel to the next closest one 15ish miles away.

All 16.8GB of download.

This is all I received from them:

Nothing to expect in my mailbox.

I vaguely recall getting one packet some time ago but have no recollection from what organization.

You might want to confirm it’s the same package as I just downloaded it for free. HOWEVER, note all caps, it appears to have in program ads, and when I opened and closed the app for the first time a browser window popped open with a game page. Not sure if users will be forced to deal with intrusive ads and pop-ups (or similar) everytime the app is used.

Personally, instead of one company operating more than 1,200 Pizza Huts and nearly 400 Wendy’s restaurants, I’d rather see many folks operating a few of each.

THANK YOU! YOUR REQUEST HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. WE WILL EMAIL YOU TO LET YOU KNOW IF YOU QUALIFIED. This after the entire registration process and fighting the sluggish website. Not holding my breath for any samples. Thanks anyway.

Just got an e-mail from Ally:
we’re writing to let you know that the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for your Online Savings Account is changing from 1.25% APY to 1.10% APY on all balance tiers.

Your new APY is effective 6/12/2020 and will show online in your account details on 6/13/2020.

No good VPN is free. Free is either limited in data, speed, and/or server locations.

@mrsguin Not to be ungrateful but has anyone who might have requested one of these actually received anything yet? I did receive an acknowledgement email and a request to donate through their GoFundMe page. Of course, they did say they received over 250000 requests in their email.

Perhaps I missed it but just received this from ALLY:
Because of this, the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for your Online Savings Account is changing from 1.50% APY to 1.25% APY on all balance tiers, and the APY for your Money Market Account is changing from 0.75% APY to 0.50% APY on all balance tiers. Your new APYs are effective 5/12/2020 and will show online in your account details on 5/13/2020.

I’d say if sound plays during initial boot then you have no real hardware issues. That is, cords plugged in and speakers actually work. I’d right-click on the start button and look at Device Manager to see if Windows has an issue with any drivers, etc. shown generally with an exclamation point. You could also expand the Sound device(s) and see what Windows thinks is correct just in case.

Presuming Windows 10 (but others may work the same, it’s been too long for me to recall), right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar. Generally, the lower right corner of the screen. Select “Open Sound Settings” and see what it shows for “Output device”. If it doesn’t indicate something like speakers or what looks appropriate, select the drop-down box and look for something else. While there look at the Master Volume to make sure it’s turned up and not muted.

I wonder how that will work when I buy something on a whim only to find out they are an Amazon “reshipper” or whatever it’s called. They basically order from Amazon and have it sent to me and I find the Amazon gift receipt inside the box and see an Amazon warehouse sender address? On a couple of those, I see the Amazon price a bit cheaper but then again I’ve seen it more expensive.
