Post by: Jeanne on July 22, 2021, 01:36:51 PM: My outrage du jour was this:
In May I paid the New Yorker $6 for a 3-month trial subscription and a cute tote bag. In June I received an email from them stating that the trial would end in August and, in essence, if I wished to cancel I needed to do so by Aug 16. Today they billed me $99 for the coming year. I had pretty much planned to cancel, but I did expect to have until Aug 16 to do so. I phoned and a polite woman told me that this was customary as they needed time to prepare the mailing labels and the newsletter. What?! It's a digital subscription! She agreed to reverse the charges, but what sort of customer service is this? It was not a given that I would subscribe and I certainly will not now. Honestly!

Post by: Jane on July 22, 2021, 06:59:16 PM: I can't recall the last time Keith actually read a book. Since this is Science Fiction, which he is a fan of, we just purchased it.

Post by: singdaw on July 22, 2021, 07:00:17 PM: I'll continue the good news streak. Not only did MN avoid a state shutdown over the budget, but today our union announced a tenantive agreement for our next 2 year contract, which means we won't have to strike. Standard cost of living raises each year, and we won on not having to substantially up our contribution to our insurance plan, which is already hefty enough, thank you.

Post by: Jane on July 22, 2021, 07:00:28 PM: Keith didn't want to wait the 3 to 5 weeks it might have taken to become available at the library.

Has anyone read PROJECT HAIL MARY?

I haven't yet, but I have it on my Kindle. I haven't decided if I want to read that next, or the next book in The Expanse series.

Post by: bk on July 22, 2021, 10:21:13 PM: Then I went to the theater to see only our playlet. The new gal was mostly fine - it was the other actress, the one who's been doing this for four weeks already who was fumfering her lines so badly that there wasn't a single laugh, until the big laugh line halfway through. Perhaps she was thrown with her new partner, but they'd run it prior to the show three times.

That's interesting. Hopefully, they'll gel and the laughs will come back!

Post by: George on July 23, 2021, 12:01:48 AM: I assume that the entire original cast was invited back, and those who couldn't (or didn't want to) are the ones being replaced.
