I just found out what is wrong with a rather expensive flashlight and will fix it myself tonight.

T mobile told us we where in a dead zone only had 4 g phones from them.
Ported numbers to consumer cellular new 5 g phones they always work.
Live in the same place go figure pay allot less now too.

A neighbor has Visible. She says they have great reception, (truely) unlimited data (unlike ours that chokes down to a trickle mid-month), and pay a LOT less than we do.

My phone has been rode hard and put away wet. Hubby's phone is just old. Our service gets about 2 bars of reception is we are lucky. The booster does seem to help.

Oh my. Yes please be careful not to trip and faceplant.


What is wrong with the old phones?
And how poor is your cell service? I thought about maybe getting a booster but more often than not our phones show "No Service" or "SOS only". Not sure there is enough of a signal to boost. Don't want to waste money on something that will not work.

That's what we got.

And Verizon service. If we had ATT/T-mobile we would be in fat city, the tower is less than 3/4 mile north of us. But TracFone uses Verizon unless there is NO Verizon service in the area. And I'm not willing to spend many many many hundreds of $$ for Contract service. TF costs me $65/year.

Oh great, I just did a Google search to see if there was some way to switch a Tracfone off Verizon and found that Verizon now owns TracFone. So my guess is: a BIG FAT NO!!!!!

Verizon also bought Straight Talk, which I use for sixty per month. They're trying for a monopoly I imagine.

I've got T Mobile and my wife gets good reception but my old phone just lays down on the job and only works when it is a spam call.

Good morning Old Folks.

I had a doctor’s appointment but now I’m done at the doctor lol he’s referring me to an endocrinologist and a neurologist lol

I was supposed to see an endocrinologist tomorrow but I had to cancel because they moved the location but APPARENTLY they would have cancelled anyway because she took a leave of absence and they don't know when she'll be back.

So now I gotta go to an outside one and a neurologist too because normally he manages all his migraine patients but because I’m on all the psych ones he can’t so he’s referring me out to see if they have any ideas. Because the one we tried two weeks ago lowered my BP too much.

I need to make an appointment with my ortho doc for an injection into my tennis elbow. This will make the third time in that elbow. First I'm going to try and stop what is making it worse. I've been using a pistol grip hose nozzle for filling watering fountains for the chickens and that is when it hurts the worst. The first time I had been making a fist and knowing the bottoms out of boxes. When I did that it really hurt. I don't remember what cause it the second time but I do remember the shot didn't last as long as the first shot did. I'd like to not have to get that shot as it is not a picnic in the park when the needle goes into the elbow.
