Logged into my credit card app to see if I paid my bill this month. I did. But I looked over my charges while I'm was there.
$31/month combined for Disney Plus and Hulu, both ad free. Dana pays $18/month for HBO ad free. So $50/month between the two of us.
Hey that seems high. Go into Disney's website
I just bundled Hulu, Disney, and HBO, ad free, for $30/month.
Bastards.

If you're subscribed to anything through the Apple App Store lookout too.
I subscribed to YouTube Premium and it's 18.99 through Apple, subscribe directly and it's 13.99
i watch a lot of YouTube through mobile and Xbox/Smart TV so I can't run ad blockers like on a desktop.

I was being facetious. I don't eat cheese because it's disgusting. Blue, or bleu, if you prefer, is a whole 'nother level of disgusting.
I think 'American' cheese used to be referred to here as processed cheese food, or cheese food product on the label.

I'm sorry to hear it, Wally. That can be almost tougher than actually losing your pet. And I know this particular dog means something extra to you.

I think it's actually spelled "Cheeze"

US management has their head so far up their own ass they think we are going to get a ton done this week. Oh but we are waiting on Australia for drawings, CAM files and physical components to actually do anything. I'm so done with this berking job, I wanted to spend this part of the year on the beach again.
Be very careful about leaving a job these days, I was fed up with a job I'd been at for 3 years last year and got let go from it in the fall (of 2023), and now over 100 carefully-targeted job applications mostly for jobs I'm very well-qualified for later, I've had one interview, one offer for an interview (it turned out to be for the worst job in North America, an Amazon delivery driver, so I turned it down) and zero job offers. And those are totally normal or even better-than-normal numbers these days. Most people with jobs have no idea it's happening and many wouldn't believe it is if you told them, but the data to prove it and even articles discussing it are all publicly available.

You guys aren't allowed to have an opinion on cheese of any kind.
This from a nation that thinks macaroni and cheese is "dinner".
Sir, you forget yourself!
In reply to DarkMonohue :
The word (dinner) has different meanings depending on culture, and may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of day.
For most of my youth dinner was considered to be lunch. And lest we confuse a manufacturer's product name with what a nation considers so.

Oh, it is here too, because it's processed/diluted and the FDA won't allow it to be called "cheese".
It's mostly cheese, though. But as Miracle Max would say, mostly cheese means it is slightly not cheese, so it can't be called "cheese".

'Zackly. Lest we confuse a government's product name with what a nation considers so.
I'm far from a foodie, and even I haven't willingly chosen American processed cheese food product since the novelty of unwrapping Kraft Singles wore off somewhere around second grade.
Just because crap products sell by the truckload doesn't mean they are highly regarded, or that the buyer doesn't know the difference or just doesn't care.
Case in point: we go through an awful lot of Dino Buddies in this house (a processed chicken food product of Canadian origin) because that's one of a handful of items that Little Monohue will consistently eat. Nobody writing the proverbial check likes them or wants to spend money on them. We buy them to meet a specific need.
The last paragraph serves both as an example and a minor rant. I'm pretty tired of serving his royal highness chicken nuggets instead of the thoroughly decent home cooking his mother whips up.
I purchased some lighter, slimmer plastic fenders for my little utility trailer on the Jungle website and ran across this amazing review:
Reading comprehension is completely optional, apparently 🤦🏼♂️
In reply to stanger_mussle (Supported by GRM undergarments) :
Customer is always right[1], so when the customer wants two fenders, there better be two fenders in the package, innit. No matter what the listing says.
Vibez trump comprehension of any kind.
[1] ... but not everybody has to be your customer.
In reply to stanger_mussle (Supported by GRM undergarments) :
I find that a lot of product reviews are a review of the purchaser, not the product.
When you grow up poor, cheeze becomes the flavor of choice , because theres no choice. It's a hard taste to unlearn even though I can afford real, flavorful cheese.
In reply to ShawnG :
My favorites are the ones who rate the product 1 star because they had a bad purchasing experience.

There are also good American cheeses that are identifiably "American Cheese" without being rubbery orange slabs individually sealed for your protection.

But that costs. When you're pinching pennies so hard that old Abe is tearing up, 89 cents for the "cheese" versus $3.00 for something higher quality can mean losing out on an entire other meal or two.
Oh, FB... If I delete cookies and log in again, I get the correct authenticator app 2FA. But if I go to change my password (just for peace of mind, say, after perhaps getting a few text messages suggesting someone's trying to log in as me) or anything else like that, it tries to verify me by WhatsApp. Which I do not use. This is apparently happening to a lot of people.
I'm on the cusp of setting up a WhatsApp account just to close the loop, but I really, really don't want to be shoved into using another Meta product just because they're screwing up with one I already have.
Friend M calls me just now on lunch break. One of the friend groups wives, H, apparently asks if a mutual friend J is going to go to our yearly holiday party. We say of course because we've literally been partially planning the party around their schedule for months.
H doesn't want them to go. Starts by saying they impress upon her, as J is very loud and extroverted. Rapidly changes tune- doesn't really like them, doesn't want them in their home again. Doesn't want to feel left out of the group for having some issue with someone however! Except they don't realize that it's partially been planned around J.
M and I talk; to do this or seek this around the holidays is... extremely E36 M3ty, especially when we had a friend commit suicide within the group 2 months ago. We rapidly decide my home is better as neutral ground instead of M's, J is still going, but I'm actively at work- this kicks a beehive because H and her husband, one of our best friends, have been preparing for the party. H tells me just now that her husband knew about the plans around J's schedule, so they decided to wait literally until 24 hours before the party to say they don't want them there? Not only no darling, but hell no. I've played the picking friends game before and the only thing that happens is everyone looses.

I sometimes look at Yelp when traveling for work - people attack restaurants with one star - (Coke machine out of order - terrible place).
Come on guys......
Food packaging should have a standardized box where sell-by dates are stamped. It always bugs me while hunting around the package for the date, only to find it practically illegible, being stamped over other graphics.

...and when I'm not eating blue cheese (mold), I'm gorging on piles of mushrooms (fungus) and washing it all down with wine (yeast).
I'm almost never sick and on those super rare occasions that I am, the symptoms are mild and short lived.
When was the last time you saw a mushroom with COVID...open your eyes people.

With a glass of grape drink.
This reminds me of Sunny Delight. As a kid I wanted it because advertising and neat looking bottle. Mom refused to buy it because it was four times more expensive than orange juice in a paper carton.
A year or two ago, I saw a thing about "Hey remember Sunny D?" so I clicked it, because I was curious about this thing I never had. And turns out it was corn syrup in water with some food coloring and artificial flavoring. But it cost 4x more than the real thing...
