I'm sure you have a million great memories. Keep them close and your dog will always be around. I've had to put three cats down. It's always hard. Knowing that you're doing the right thing doesn't make it any easier.

Going to work and now I know what my next tattoo's going to be when I finally get it.

Thankfully, I don't ever have to do that. That's just one of the benefits from working in the same place for 24 years.

That would be nice, but I would just have more time to blow through it and not make it til next payday.

Having just gone through this it’s not easy.

Apparently, 2 of my orders from Amazon were cancelled. I was recently refunded my reward points and cc. It looks to be that my orders were either lost or stolen during transient, but I have no proof or explanation from Amazon.

I can confirm that I received both points and money credited to my account. I'm still hoping that perhaps this order may arrive later. Maybe......

I guess I will order something else on Amz.

so anybody got android phone i know that sometimes in nov verizon messenger plus is shutting down in favor of google message

now for me since i got older phone s20 the other day after my mom text me something i got a pop up notification wanting to switch over to google messenger

basically from my understanding that Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that it’s switching to Google Messages as the default messaging app on phones. The company said it was making this move to “accelerate the adoption” of RCS and to deliver a “more robust and engaging” messaging experience.

now i already said not now in pop up then i said it when i open up samsung messenger reminder i also said not now

i'm sure that it will pop up in a few days i don't know

the funny thing is it was never install on my s20 phone samsung messenger was always my default messenger

i assumed that if i would had said yes to it i would had to go ahead download it don't think it will do it on its own without my permission google play store


i know that in google message you don't have color themes like samsung messenger and if you delete a conversation you can't restore it back no recycle bin

folks on google message app if android or pixie app do you like google message or samsung message

i wished wasn't affecting older phones like my s20 that don't get software update only security update

the sorry part i just put change theme mon halloween orange and icon samsung message is orange am not a fan of going into google message meh

Been in a recent slump in pool; mainly my Thursday night league. Just not having fun and now getting into my own head.

Sunday night league is much better.

I need serious help (not that kind) and don't know where to go. I cannot get my new MacBook Air to recognize my new HiBy M300 Hi-Res DAP. It won't show up on my computer. The only way that I can get files on it is through the Bluetooth option. It's not ideal and it's slow, but it does work. Or it was, until Wednesday or Thursday. One or more of the files i sent over to the DAP via Bluetooth is corrupted. It is changing the album artwork on other songs in other albums. I removed everything last night except for 8 songs that were not corrupted.

I added one of the songs back last night and all was well. I then added the other one a little while ago and now it's corrupted stuff. The song and file, though, are not from the album that their artwork is showing. I need to figure out how to get my computer to recognize this DAP. The last DAP I had was from the same company and I had no problems with it whatsoever. There are other issues relating to the separate SD card I have in the player, but one thing. at a time. And it's not affecting the player in any way, as it has about 20 GB of free pace already on there.

I think I know the answer. It’s Android and likely not compatible with iOS.

i have been reading awful stuff about google message besides rcs situation which don't care yes i'm still using samsung message app despite wants me to convert

i haven't seen it pop up to tell me since early weds morning when i said not now pop up and inside top of message app

i asked if any android users have google message and ya thoughts no reply

i'm going to continue use until day it stop working i did go into chat they claim will not see that pop up again i bet it will pop up in a few days maybe today

its kindof bad that both samsung message and verizon messenger plus<-which i never used as default message are going away in favor of google message

i'm really thinking about getting textra and paying the 9.99 one time using google play since i don't like ads despite it doesn't have rcs

i'm concern however it saying The minimum API for Textra is now API 25 (Android 7.1).

me having older phone s20 plus android 13 not sure will work or not

i have talk to somebody android central form and asked

well i just wished some way samsung theme that i currently have can transfer over and i know won't google message plus i never customize stuff like i said all i do long press screen click on themes samsung galaxy look something up like halloween under free and install it then it will customize everything including samsung message besides making icon orange and inside which is spider web pumpkins when folks reply its brown with white text and my text is orange with white text

does textra have themes i assumed it prob won't carry over themes from galaxy store eh i assumed they are kindof bland compare to galaxy store

response was I don't know how Textra themes compare to your current themes, but there are plenty of options and every colour/shade you could imagine. You are correct that Textra will not carry over themes from the Galaxy Store.

yep that didn't last long after took phone off changer and its 5:56 in morning no pop up but i'm seeing it come up at the top again open messenger upgrade to google messages to safeguard chats with real time detection not now upgrade


man i don't want to go into google message right now alot of negativity i can dismissed but it prob be back up again come mon textra seems interesting paid version since don't want to do ads i can handle paying 9.99 buy a google play card i just want to continue to use samsung message before it stops dumb warning meh

Yes, it is. However, the last HiBy player I had was also Android I believe and worked just fine. Also, the OS operating system has no problem recognizing the device when I'm sending files over through Bluetooth File Exchange. So, I'm thinking that's not it.

On my mind... the need to become more minimalistic. Buy/Keep things I need and those that truly bring me joy. Less is more. Harder than expected for myself.

[y2jman]

so i assumed nobody in here who's on android using google message? if so do you like it trying to decide if i should go into it or not since samsung message wants me to due to rcs

i can say once again like weds morning not now but i think i will see it once again come mon next time i open samsung app

i can try textra i'm sure folks who are currently using verizon messenger plus are aware and prob know what i'm talking about that's going to stop working sometime this month and will end next month also forcing into google message


i believe this was pop up from weds morning when i said not now




i can say customize themes is a lie because they don't have much themes to choose from google message its either light or dark that's it

i don't remember what it was saying inside app when i also said not now weds morning but currently message basically saying upgrade to google messages to sofegurd chat with real life spam not now upgrade<- think was same thing am not sure

I see some drivers for Amazon DSPs sort by itinerary instead of by driver aid number and I'm going to try that out tomorrow. I've heard(on the Internet so who knows) that it's better than sorting by driver aid number. Willing to try it for 1 bag at least, gotta get my stops per hour consistently above 20 and possibly to 25+ somehow!
