This week is rushing by too fast for me.  Part of the problem is, I was out two days this week, and that essentially loses the day for me: by the time I've returned home, my body aches from the exertion, my legs have reached their limit for the day, it's afternoon, and I've lsot my entire morning.

I did sleep rather well, until arond 5:00 when Stella and Thatch began acting up and acting out. Annabelle was happy to be buried under the blankets with me. Thatch seemed unsure if he wanted to settle next to me or just pop in, check out the scene, and then do something else, like tear up the window blinds or drag a meyel dish across the floor. Twice, Stella walked over my head before jumping from the bed.

I am afraid I don't understand the entire streaming business.

I certainly can't afford Amazon Prime.....but I would guess they can do anything they want to do - and do.

I know back in the day there was a law that movie makers/tv creators couldn't own broadcasters.  And then that went away (I'm sure big money changed hands) and we have ABC/Disney and Comcast-Universal/NBC and who knows what else......they want our money AND our eyeballs.

I wonder if it might be because Amazon gets a cut of everything "sold" and that would be given away.  Even if they wold normally take let's say 50%, 50% of zero dollars is zero dollars to Amazon.

Yes, I think Amazon took away the free option because they don't get anything that way. Of course, they DO get Prime memberships that way, but you can't argue with Amazon. But you don't have to be a Prime member to watch our series - it's just we have no option not to charge and we've chosen the cheapest option there is.

I'm also looking into other platforms - we're not exclusive to Amazon. I found a company people love that's much like CD Baby in that they make it available to every streaming service, should that streaming service care to have it. I can also offer it to B'way World but I really cannot abide the design of that site - it's almost impossible to navigate and find stuff.

They've had a terrible time getting a player for that. I would have taken the whole thing right away when offered if I hadn't have conflicts. The person they got to do "most" of it still can't do it all, but I can do those three dates. So that's good.

I'll be there for it on Amazon Prime.

I have no knowledge of, and no desire for having an account at, either Instagram or TikTok, so the Prime will be fine for me.

Yes, I think Amazon took away the free option because they don't get anything that way. Of course, they DO get Prime memberships that way, but you can't argue with Amazon. But you don't have to be a Prime member to watch our series - it's just we have no option not to charge and we've chosen the cheapest option there is.

I'm also looking into other platforms - we're not exclusive to Amazon. I found a company people love that's much like CD Baby in that they make it available to every streaming service, should that streaming service care to have it. I can also offer it to B'way World but I really cannot abide the design of that site - it's almost impossible to navigate and find stuff.

BK, will the series ever be released on DVD or Blu-ray?

The 3rd episode, Long, Long Time about the relationship between Bill & Frank, dropped to 8.0.  Suspecting this almost stand alone episode ratings was due to the subject matter, Keith did a bit of sleuthing.

I am still in banking hell. I thought it was all straightened out on Monday afternoon, but yesterday it happened again -- something triggered a fraud alert and I was shut out of my account. Not funny. I had a long talk today with someone from the bank's efraud department. He was much more knowledgable than most of the other bank reps I've talked to -- and I've talked to many this past week -- but even he can't explain why it's happening. This is not encouraging. He unlocked my account for me, though, and I have his direct dial number should it happen again.

Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: Jeanne on March 16, 2023, 05:06:16 PM
In the meantime, I've set up an account at another bank. I'm presently applying for a credit card there and setting up billpay. I'm also rethinking which credit cards I use and checking into rebate points. I've now spoken to four people over the phone at the new bank and all four were knowledgeable and professional, something I can't say about the old bank. But all of this has taken an enormous amount of time. I'm being quite careful because I don't want to make a change only to find I have the same problems with the new bank. I really dislike things that rob my time.

Even more shocking to me that they don't know why it's happening. I learned today that every fraud alert is assigned to a fraud analyst to investigate. That didn't happen last week. Why? Overloaded with work is one possibility. As for the lack of training of some of the reps, the guy I spoke to today wasn't at all surprised. He admitted that they're having a hard time keeping their reps adequately trained.

No. I had an account with them about 10 years ago. They were HORRIBLE, pressuring me to open a savings account, which I didn't want. I closed the account after 2 months and joined US Bank, which was great at first. After a couple years something changed  -- change of senior management, I suspect -- and it all went downhill. They're the ones I'm having trouble with now.

Yes. I think the Great Resignation was partly responsible. Lots of people relatively new to their jobs. Also the work ethic just isn't what it was when I was growing up. Plus many firms hire people with little or no training, saying, "We'll train you," but they just don't do an adequate job. So many reasons. I do feel that better pay goes a long way to retaining employees.

My four calls to the new bank were partly my way of checking out their customer service.

I received a call this evening from a woman in the fraud department at the old bank. She said that she was checking to make sure everything was "OK," that she saw that my account had been reopened. OK?! OK?! She thinks this is OK? It is not OK at all. I have no confidence whatsoever that I won't get locked out again. Her explanation of why it happened doesn't match the facts or explain why it keeps happening. Then she said that no system is perfect and sometimes there's a "false positive," ie, the system catches something that isn't fraudulent at all. Her attitude is that this is just the way it is and nothing can be done. I detest that attitude! I told her that software is written by humans and humans can change it. Their security protocols are inadequate and need to be changed. She wasn't happy when I said I'd lost confidence in the bank and would be switching to another bank. How could anyone think that this situation was OK?

One demerit.

We are not amused.

Not at all.

We are, however, coughing.

Oh, yes, we are coughing.

Coughing sans George.

He is being of no help.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: bk on March 16, 2023, 11:45:28 PM
Well, let's see if he shows up.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: bk on March 16, 2023, 11:45:46 PM
Because right now it's just me and six GUESTS.

But before I go...

Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee let his domain lapse, and is now in the "finding out" portion of f**king around with a tech industry dominated by LBCTQIA+ folk.

Today, I went to J-Ann's and bought another frame for one of my window cards.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: George on March 16, 2023, 11:55:37 PM
The sale is still 40% off, but it looks like they're not replenishing their stock...at least, not yet.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: George on March 16, 2023, 11:56:25 PM
There was one frame that I really liked, but the glass was cracked. :P

I brought it home and then my sister asked it I would go shopping for her...again.

How did 6 guests suddenly appear?
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: George on March 16, 2023, 11:58:14 PM
The family is going to her place on Saturday for our quasi-weekly family dinner, so I picked up her debit card and went shopping.

She said that I could get myself something on her, so I bought some Meconi's Subs (https://www.meconissubs.com/) gift cards. ;D

After Costco, I had a couple of things that I needed to get at Fred Meyer, so I went there, too.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: George on March 17, 2023, 12:01:39 AM
Fortunately  they're right next to each other, so I just had to drive to the next parking lot.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: George on March 17, 2023, 12:03:01 AM
Well, let's see if he shows up.

Just remember that I will most likely show up, unless I know I won't be back in time.  Then, I'll post that.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY
Post by: George on March 17, 2023, 12:04:14 AM
Then I delivered the stuff to my sister, came home and had something to eat, played some games on my phone, and now I'm here.
Title: Re: THE WILL TO DE-GUNKIFY

The Fred Meyer and Costco in Bellingham are also right next to each other.

And I just realized that my phone battery is down to 18% power, so it's now plugged in and charging.

I’ve yet to experience a Fred Meyer store.

Mrs. Rodzinski raves about it though.

The Fred Meyer and Costco in Bellingham are also right next to each other.

There wasn't a Costco in Bellingham when I went to school there.  The Bellis Fair Mall (if it's still called that) had just opened.

I'm sure that they're all fairly similar...variations on a theme. :)

Bellis Fair still exists but in the sad state of many malls these days.

Their tag line is "one stop shopping."

Has a lively Target. A Dicks sporting goods. Little else. Many closed stores.
