I pay $145 a month for unlimited calls, text, Wi-Fi internet. I pay an additional $10 a month for two TB of backup to ICloud to include the thousands of pictures I have. My phone holds 256 GB with 156 available. I have hundreds of Apps.

You guys are dinosaurs.

OK Ric, we are almost thru with this series (2 episodes left) and we know why the defendant wanted the trial ASAP, as you said.

As of now, I find the show OK, but really no more than that. I find some of the drama to be a bit over the top, some things are just plain stupid (for example, the guy who is working for Haller. He was looking for something in the trash bin so he jumps in and is going thru the garbage instead of just taking the small bag of garbage with him so as not to be seen, which he was)

I like when he is telling his driver about how to work a trail, that is very interesting, but even some of the side things, like the Asian dude, I find basically uninteresting.

I'll comment finally when we are finished.

I have tried the solutions posted here and it seems to have corrected the problem.

Ric

We have had Mint Mobile for about 2 years now and like you pay the $180 per year and couldn't be happier with them. We even loaded some money to use internationally; roaming while we were cruising and were able to call from our ports of call.

I will start looking around for a new phone ASAP.

My wife and I have always slept in a Full bed. Don't ask me why we never graduated to a Queen or even larger, but we seem to like the closeness of the bed. My wife's father was in the mattress business eons ago, and she was always brought up with the thinking the firmer the bed the better it is for your back, which with many of today's mattresses that just isn't so. So she LOVES a firm to hard mattress while I enjoy some comfort in a softer bed. Having a Full mattress sort of eliminates a lot of the dual sides as most don't have that. We have tried several of the 'foam' ones which I loved, but she didn't.
We are actively looking at a Sleep Number bed and, as you said, the cost simply doesn't outweigh the good night's sleep option.

I had all the letters except the first one in three, so it was easy to get it in 4.

Time for a few more

1---"I was a better man with you, as a woman... than I ever was with a woman, as a man. You know what I mean?"


2---"Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again." "Spring and summer" "Yes." "Then fall and winter" "Yes."

I don't know if anyone has this or watches shows on it, but they are running a promo, $1 a month for 3 months as a trial thing. We do this every year on the day after Thanksgiving, they run a full-year promo for $1 a month for 12 months.
With his promo, there are ads but if there is anything you want to watch on HULU here's the chance

Thanks, I'll try the suggestions.

I tried to call customer service at LG and was on hold for over 90 minutes and just gave up, but they did say, like Ric said, that this seems to be a problem with all LG phones.

The Front Porch / Cell phone problem
May 24, 2022, 11:05:18 AM

I am having a problem with my cell phone.

First, I have to say, I am NOT a tech guy and have a pretty old phone with a basic Mint Mobile plan. I have an old LG phone that was once used for Metro and probably cleaned and I bought it thru this Mint Mobil. I really just use it for phone calls and a few other things.

So, the other day, for whatever reason, it just would not go on. I took the battery out, replaced it, and then charged it. It goes on but every few seconds I get a message
"Unfortunately. LG IMS has stopped'. The phone seems to work but this message comes up non-stop every few seconds and I have no idea what to do about it.

Do I need a new phone or can any suggest something to try?

What the heck is IMS?

Just struggles with this word. I only had 1 green and 1 yellow and I did get it in 6.

Agree with you on Longest Day. I remember liking Das Boot when it first came out even though it featured the bad guys

Yes, classic movie and very realiatic.

 A few to really ponder about

 A couple of years ago, I had a long thread going here that was titled 'old school' which I had divided into 3 parts
1-things we remembered from the past as toys and gadgets from years ago
2-old photos of events or people from also years past
3-old time movie stars from really Hollywood's Golden age. I wish I had assess to them today

I know I used to [post pixs of Grace Kelley all the time as she was absolutely gorgeous and a certain poster thanked me every time I put up more images of her.  :yes: :yes: :yes:

So here are just a group of Grace
