Apologies to the membership. I clicked something this a.m. and got a notification that I had received a trophy. I clicked that and got several other notifications. I'm a firm believer in showing my appreciation. I didn't know about these and have not thanked the individuals who sent them. I tried to find that info today, and so far have been unsuccessful. I am not technically gifted, add to that a terrible, ongoing bout with Lymes (it plays havoc with your mental acuity), and I may have committed various infractions, and faux pas here. I do apologize and commit to learning the site better. YOU TPF must share some of the blame. You show me dozens of new, fantastic photos each day and get me all distracted... shame on you!

No big deal. The system gives them out for lots of things - number of posts (fist; 100; 1,000), reactionas to tyou7r posts, etc. If you look at your profile you will see "Points" which is related.

Well yesterday was interesting, cell service and internet went down about 1pm and didn't come back until sometime during the night. Can't speak for everyone but I know TMobile and Verizon were affected. Don't realize how much you depend on them till you don't have them. Some kind of mechanical problem with network. Affecting customers nationwide but more so eastern and Midwest.

I don't think we lost anything (TMo) but we haven't gone anywhere, so we're going through the wifi with Spectrum.

Just got an email from Spectrum that they would be available in my area soon. Anxious to see what they're offering.

We had Comcast in MD and really liked it, but it wasn't an option here. They have a presence in Maine but not in this area. It's fine, I guess. MLSIL is paying for the cable and she hasn't complained.

I don't watch much but seem to gravitate to the mystery shows, PBS and some of the food-related programs. I'm in The Hole (AKA the basement office) right now and I just have it set to the Classic Rock music station.
