I didn't say major or American. Sure, Denver has different weather than Detroit, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, etc. but just because it is unique among those types of cities doesn't mean it is some massive mystery, or that there aren't other places that experience the same types of weather. And no, those places don't need to be major cities.

Good morning Lodge. Posting from the T this morning. Running a little behind, but should be a quiet week. Hopefully. Only in thru Wednesday and then off till January 3rd. Cold today but supposed to get a bit warmer as the week progresses.

Good Morning Lodge! Every day this week is Friday :) Have to mail out package to my Uncle today but other than that I have time to plan and organize myself. novel.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #188: Hockey Is The Real Politics

Today at work is dragging. To make it worse, I received an email from my cell phone provider that I hit my data limit yesterday (2GB), after receiving an email on Saturday around 5:00PM that I'd used 1.8GB of my data for the month. The really confusing part is that from around noon Saturday until leaving the house this morning, my cell phone had been connected to my home LAN, and I hadn't used my phone with exception to three text-only text messages between my brother and me. I have to stop off at a local store to get this squared away. Worst case scenario, my monthly reset occurs on 12/21.

This weekend was far too boring. People were driving like idiots on Saturday when I ran my errands. We had cleared, dry pavement for all the main roads where I live by around 10:30 yet people were still driving like we had 3" on the pavement. I had no intention of going crazy because black ice was still a serious thought in my mind, but 35 in the 50 with no way to pass drew my ire more than I'm comfortable admitting. Because of that, I decided to skip seeing Star Wars in the theater yesterday and will wait until Tuesday night to see it. Avoiding spoilers has proved to be a challenge, almost like trying to watch a tape-delay of the Super Bowl without knowing any details beforehand.

This happened to us 2ce. I learned a few things- first the warning is not in real time so it may lag until after you have gone over. Second- Verizon has mysteriously been doing this to customers all over the country for the last few yrs. Google it. We had our phones off, in a safe, locked up and lil had his on the wi-fi when he mysteriously used 2 G of data in the middle of the night when he was sleeping.

Also, I shut off cellular service to pretty much every app on my phone, so when I'm not on wireless and need to use my data, I go into Settings>Cellular and turn on the app(s) I want to use and then shut off when I'm done. It's an extra couple of steps but it has helped me to not go over my data limit once I learned that trick. The only two I keep on are Settings and my FitBit.

Immediately upon receiving the notice yesterday I made the change, leaving a few apps enabled that I use commonly, but the rest are now in the Off position.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #188: Hockey Is The Real Politics

Jeebus. We get unlimited data and tethering.

Edit: Oh, I thought this was for work cell phones. I'm glad I'm still on AT&T's old unlimited plan for my personal phone.

I've never even heard of this option. Is it an Android thing or a carrier thing?

Its an option on Verizon. I just looked on my Verizon app, on here it is called "safety mode", though I've seen it as smart data before too. Just enable it, and you won't get data overages anymore. Go to My Verizon App, then to the "DataHub" tab. Scroll all the way to the bottom, and you have an option to enable "SafetyMode".

I'm not a Verizon user, so it's a tossup if this exists for me. Also, I'll have to wait until I'm home before looking for a similar Sprint feature.

Six gifts to go. 2-3 of them are going to be difficult. At least 3 of them are going to be easy.
