>3 guys standing around an empty hole

This show has been going on so long that now it's the three guys and their son and nephew. In a few years, they will have their grandsons helping them stand around that empty hole.

I think a lot of the wigs that Rick wears must help....

We're happy we can still get wood. We were all young men when this started. Now we're not.

Portuguese or Spanish swallow.

Wood that is good for sniffing.

^^^ THIS!! I "sort of" enjoy the show... if you use that term loosely, but all of the recaps REALLY gets to me. What could be, or should be an interesting show (history of the island) is just finding sticks and doing recaps of the sticks.

"Here. Sniff THIS stick!!"

> "I can't believe we're still getting away with this."

"I can't believe the History Channel is still paying us for this BS!!"

Mine as well, and still my only breakfast burrito experience. None of the restaurants around here (that I know of) have breakfast burritos.

>I should add that New Mexico is largely considered the birthplace of the breakfast burrito.

Not McDonalds? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, I agree.

Pagers were small devices that you usually clip on a waistband of slacks / pants, or attach to the outside of a woman's purse, so you could easily check the message. They were the predecessor to cell phones, but there was a lap over, at least by some major companies, requiring some employees to carry both pagers and cell phones.

The pager that I carried could accept either phone numbers or actual text messages. I had to carry a pager as well as my cell phone, to make sure anyone could reach me, 24/7.

Yes. I had to carry my employer's phone AND pager, both at the same time, in case a server went down or there were network issues.

This is *MY* first phone, and first iPhone. The employer's phone was an android.

Yes, I realize that cell phones offer functionality that laptops and desktops and land lines do not offer -- but after working IT for years, when I left that position, I turned in the pager and cell phone that I had been tied to for years. I also took off my watch and hardly ever wear it.

If you can hear the song, "I want to be free..." that's me singing, in the background. I was tied to both a pager AND cell phone and watch (get to those IT meetings on time)... I no longer want to be tied down to anything except my cat.

Good. I was getting worried. Not everyone lives on a cell phone. I realize a lot of people do, but you can count me in as one who doesn't. At least not yet.

You have heard of computers and laptops, haven't you?

You have heard of land lines, right?

Sorry to say, I am *NOT* a child. I have a landline that I will be getting rid of. Am in the process of porting my current phone number on the landline to my new cell.

Didn't mean it to be open ended. I bought my iPhone PM from T-Mobile. Apparently as part of the purchase, or in addition to the purchase, I ended up with a transparent case. I can't get the case on the phone, so I will be heading to a store this afternoon to ask them to put the case on the phone, but I am just wondering if I have ended up with the "right" case, or if there is a case or a skin that I should also look at.

And yes... I am actually wondering if the case is actually for the iPhone 14 plus, instead of the 14 PM.

I did try to line up the volume buttons and then tried to pop the other side in, but it just doesn't seem long enough somehow. Maybe it's a case of me just not wanting to break something, so maybe I am not pushing hard enough.

Am going to take it to a T-Mobile store this afternoon and ask them to pop it in... I decided this after trying your recommendation. I'm just not quite confident enough that I have the right case. I would think that T-Mobile would have sent the right case, and they probably did... but I'm not brave enough to force it.

Thanks all. I bought it from T-Mobile online. The case came from T-Mobile as well.

There are multiple T-Mobile stores in town. When I went online to find out about iPhones, I actually didn't intend to make a purchase, but the who I did the online chat with was NOT hard sales, and I ended up making the purchase from her.

I have decided I am going to take a copy of my sales receipt and the phone and the case to the closest T-Mobile store and just ask them to put it on. If it's not the correct case, I will leave it up to them to make it right. I hate to do that to them, but I am not exactly sure I was sent the correct case. I know that it should be hard to put on, because you don't want it to just fall off again... but it actually doesn't seem quite long enough, when I compare the case to the phone itself.

Yes, I probably did "over buy" for a first cell phone, but I wanted to make sure it would be one that will last me for a while, rather than finding out, after the fact, had I gone for the Pro Max, that it would have done more... <sigh>.

I'm always good for a laugh. 😁😁😁

Thank you. ;)

I hate to ask this, but how do I create a shortcut on an iPhone?
