iOS really needs a better method of creating amd organizing home screens. I want to add a new screen in the middle, but the whole process is a real pain.

There really is a shocking number of job interviews that happen at coffee shops.

Overheard at the grocery store just now: “I’ve got chickens strips and sushi. Everything is going to work out. I just know it is.”

I really hate being ignored while shopping and need help. I was at Visions Electronics today looking for a new car stereo and the salespeople would walk right by, avoiding eye contact. They seemed busy, but didn’t even say “Someone will help you shortly” Frustrating experience.

TIL: That by diving into the iCloud storage settings, I can now see which iMessage conversations are using the most space. A huge bonus is that those conversations can also be deleted from the same settings panel.

For December I am going to post a photo a day as a little mini photo challenge. I’ll post them to Instagram using the hashtag #decphotos2019 and have them cross post here. I’ll also not provide any commentary, description, or explanation to the photos.

Sigh. Getting out the Christmas decorations and we find a mouse got into one of the bins. What a mess. Shredded newspaper and little turds everywhere.

Last week I got a call from my cellphone provider that I almost ignored. For an unknown reason I acthually answered and the gentleman calling explained it was a customer courtesy call to take a look at my plan and see if there was a better option for me. In the back of my mind I still suspect they were just trying to get me off the plan I was grandfathered on. In any event he suggested a plan that got me to the same monthly fees, but had a lot more data, and included long distance calling within Canada. I was intrigued, so I got the names of the plans (there were different plans for the two phones on the account) and went online to investigate. A couple days later I switched over the phones to the new options, but with one small change. For Sue’s phone the suggestion included a 10GB plan. Considering that we came from 6GB for both of us and rarely went over, having 5GB on my phone and 10 on hers seemed overkill when I could save a few bucks and put both onto the 5GB plan ( we each get 5GB that we can share). In the end I am saving ~$15/month, have upped our data from 6 to 10GB and I now have Canada wide long distance. That is a huge win in my books.
