I’ve never signed up for any of it.

I didn’t let my kids sign up for any of it while they were at home. One of them thanks us pretty regularly.

My wife’s account(s) are all completely fake, so she can play games.

Remember how we “cut the cord” with cable? Well... cut the cord.

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-86.01562587942124&lat=39.75056015431218#.XJgscvJVYr8

get your data directly from the NWS model, like all the other weather websites do.

use the map to zero in on the model grid point where your home is and bookmark that, and then you’ll have a personalized weather forecast for your home.

Is there a way to be on Tweater without a phone number?
They suspended my account because I won’t give them one.

I generally find that the predicted high is always at least two degree low.

Today, they were about 5 degrees low, and the airport NWS site is only a couple of miles away.

I never started an Insta account specifically BECAUSE Facebook bought them.

Your post renews my happiness with my decision.

Same way I’m happy I never started smoking, as now I don’t have to give it up.

Welcome to the club :-)

I refuse to give them my phone number.

Others have suggested a burner phone, but I wouldn’t know the first step in getting one.

It started out as a very local group for people around Grissom to keep up on adverse weather as it approached the area. It has since expanded to include a much broader area. I post weather reports, forecasts, watches, warnings and anything else weather related that people look for each day.

I had to supply one but I wasn't happy about it. Now I'm down to Farcebook and once I can gin up a website to take the place of the Farcebook group I'm gonna dump that too.

That,,,, will be a major undertaking because I'm no good at designing webpages.

Never had Twitter or Instagram but dumped my FB about a year ago.

I did not like the things that FB was able to infer about me from my friends and contacts.

Haven’t missed it a bit.

Thanks for venting. I vented about two years ago. It is sad to see American made products become harmful and traitorous. Plus, we all need to spend less time on the computer.
