And it’s a third of the price of the landline. Yes, we kept the landline for years thinking of the emergency aspect but the price hikes finally convinced us to make the change.
Yes. indeed.
“The safe, self driving car is amost (but not quite) as achievable as the flying car. “
There are flying cars.
1. Post Office - Wrong. See Constitution.
2. Checks - Wrong. Contract with signature presented in person.
4. The Book - Wrong. E-Books cannot be highlighted. Some geek nerd illiterate programmed HIS inferior software highlights.
3. Newspaper - The Washington Times is still the last worthy paper.
“How did you live without that expensive toy in your pocket???”
There is the problem with your reasoning. It is not a toy. It is a tool.
“I pick up the phone when it rings. If there is no “hello”
within two seconds I hang it up. “
The scammers have just recorded that there is a live person at your end that picks up the phone and your numbers is now sold to many more scammers!
To their mailboxes. We have a ‘cluster box’ in front of my property, and there are 31 boxes used in it. one box is for outgoing mail. Harder for mail to e stolen, also.
“That is no more annoying than having to haul out the cell phone to look at the number. “
Alexa tells me who is calling. I don’t have to haul out the cell phone.

Another thing- The mail deliver persons will notify Deputies if someone is NOT collecting their mail in case they need to have a ‘wellness check’. The UPS guy knew more about what was goingon in the rural valley than the deputies did. It was a loss when he retired. Many retired people get their meds in the mail, also out here.
“Wrong. E-Books cannot be highlighted”
WRONG!
4. The Book
Since E-Books cannot be highlighted, reading E-Books is a futile waste of time. If you ever read an E-Book, you have proclaimed, my time is not valuable to me.
Build a wooden deck without pencil highlights. You wasted your valuable time.
“Build a wooden deck without pencil highlights. “
I didn’t carry a book around the last time I built a wooden deck!
How did you mark the wood for cutting?
Phone & Fax—over 40 years ago . Needed Fax for my bookkeeping business.
The computer I an typing this on is over 28 years old (around 1990) & the one I do bookkeeping on I bought in Nov 1991. Still using it with the ORIGINAL software. DOS software.
One client changed CPA’s about 3 years go. First set of data I sent him—I got a call from him. He was impressed that I provided him with financials, copy of bank rec, and statements about status of payroll taxes & W-2’s & 1099’s. Then he asked me what kind of software I was using because he really liked the financials I sent him
I told him Dac-Easy-—and that I had bought it in Nov 1991. It is NOT connected to the internet & there isn’t even a modem in the unit. All keyboard. He was amazed. I had as many as 19 clients on that system at one time. Now I only do 2 clients—one over 48 years & one over 44 years.
We talked for about 1/2 hour, with him asking me questions about “where ARE you? What accounting education did I have? How much do I charge for my services? All legit questions from a new CPA.
I live over 500 miles from that client & depend on the mail for data back & forth. He said if I live closer, he could find at least 60 hours of work for me at $40 an hour if I wanted it. I said—no, but if someone needed something done in the same manner I did with that client, he could call me. But I was NOT moving back to So Calif with my horses.
None the less, it certainly was a nice “Atta Girl”.
“How did you mark the wood for cutting?”
What does that have to do with a book?
I have rarely had a gps show me the correct location of anything. One time, it said I was driving several thousand mph. It always shows the path from town to home is out in the middle of the river. It’s constant, “recalculating” was so annoying we took that one out of the car and threw it into the back of the storage closet. No, I think I’ll continue to drive myself.
That is poor lousy highlighting. That is a computer geeks idea of highlighting. It it very inferior.
Look at the standard ASCII table of computer alphanumerics. Some computer gerk ‘decided’ that a check mark was not necessary while the opposing crossout X was needed. Computer geeks are inconsistent and inferior.
Same for E-Book highlights. That is not how good highlighting works, it is a geeks poor choice.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Another time, instead of going from A, to B, to c, it took me from A, to Q, to C, to L, to X wasting my time and gas driving all over town.
“I told him Dac-Easy-—and that I had bought it in Nov 1991.”
Dude, the tax tables have changed quite a bit since 1991 ....
