No, thank you the consulting rate I currently earn is $150 per hour. If you’re willing to pay me $150 with a five hour minimum I’ll share my insights with you. Otherwise don’t respond again. You’ve wasted enough of my time and materially hurt my ability to monitor my health with your poorly manufactured products.

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

After weeks of frustration, I’m done with my Walgreens/Microlife blood pressure monitor.

The first unit had Bluetooth sync issues. The replacement connected to Bluetooth but wouldn’t consistently inflate the cuff properly and frequently produced error messages. After wasting too much time troubleshooting, I finally ordered an Omron Bronze Bluetooth monitor instead. Less cost, better reviews.

When you’re monitoring your health, reliability matters. A blood pressure monitor should work every time, not become a tech support project.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with Walgreens-branded or Microlife blood pressure monitors?

@JoeConchaTV re: your prediction on @OutnumberedFNC that we’ll have to pay to view the #superbowl the advertising model now in place would have to be changed. $5 million dollar plus spots for free viewing won’t hold unless the greedy @NFL gives advertisers something else.

@coloradogov @GovofCO @ColoradoDOT @ExpressToll @TheEZPassGroup

As an @ILTollway iPass holder, I'm amazed that Colorado still relies on USPS mail to collect tolls from out-of-state travelers.

In 2026, drivers with active toll transponders shouldn't be receiving paper invoices weeks after traveling through your state. Many toll agencies have embraced interoperability and electronic billing, yet Colorado and Ohio still force unnecessary delays, costs, and frustration on visitors.

It's time to modernize toll collection and join the broader tolling network that drivers already use nationwide.

@BernardGoldberg I love your expertise and news analysis with @BillOReilly but “dude” please turn down the light on your face and wear some makeup. OMG you look like a vampire with one foot in the grave! It’s hard to look at you! You can and should do better if you’re on camera. Please take it as criticism that will help you.

@MrsErikaKirk thinking of you and your family and continuing to send up prayers for your healing. ❤️‍🩹

@Johnny_Joey @Delta Not all “gate agents” are equal. There’s no excuse and you shouldn’t have to tell those that are not aware of themselves or their surroundings that you’re a double amputee veteran. Bad on @Delta

Why many us both love and hate @amazon. LoL this just happened to my delivery today! #delivery

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

Here's what @EliLillyandCo Lilly Direct just told me. Apparently, your doctor must submit the prescription as: Multi-dose Kwikpen®, which is my case, in order to receive the $299/mo price. So 4 individual 2.5 mg orders disqualify for lower rate and insurers push their ugly "for profit" noses back into the outrageously high price. Thanks @realDonaldTrump for getting us this rate like the rest of the world. Americans should not have to pay the highest rates.

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

@EliLillyandCo @realDonaldTrump I have an RX prescribed. But I made a mistake choosing @amazon as the pharmacy. I’ve been an #amazon customer for 11 years. They won’t honor the #trumprx price. So I’ll see if I can change to pharmacy to LillyDirect now. @US_FDA

Thank you @FS1 for streaming @Brewers on @YouTubeTV tonight. Advertisers like @festfoods shown in the outfield signage here in my opinion benefit much more than when @MLB limits viewers to limited additional pay services! #mlb #baseball

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

@GetSpectrum @Brewers @MLB @MLBNetwork I stand by what I said and would encourage advertisers like @gruber_law to examine their spend because unless you speak Spanish @brewers may not be reaching nearly as many people. I guess #baseball isn’t an American sport anymore.

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

@GoogleAds should add a "Verified Google Rep" feature inside the Google Ads app.

Spoofed Google phone numbers and robocalls have become so common that many advertisers no longer trust calls claiming to be from Google.

Imagine receiving a Google Ads notification that says:

✅ Verified Google Representative will be calling within 5 minutes

With options to:
• Accept the call
• Reschedule the call
• Request contact by email instead
It would also be helpful if the notification included:
• Rep name
• Google employee verification
• Reason for the call
• The specific Google Ads account being discussed
• Account status and relevant recommendations
This would improve advertiser trust, reduce scam exposure, and make conversations with legitimate Google reps much more productive.

Trying to watch a simple Brewers game shouldn’t feel like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. 🤦‍♂️

Why do fans need MULTIPLE subscriptions just to watch ONE game? CHSN, https://t.co/yIjNutXEQX, blackouts… it’s ridiculous.

@MLB @Brewers you’re making it harder for loyal fans to actually follow the team. Fix the streaming mess and make the games easy to watch again.

We want #baseball, not a billing puzzl

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

Last night at the bar in Racine WI five guys all swearing at both @GetSpectrum and @Brewers and @MLB @MLBNetwork to a man we all said f..ck the Brewers. I guess they’re too greedy to want fans to watch on tv neither the bar nor any of us will pay the additional fee to watch what should be free with advertising! #BaseballTwitter

@Allstate @USDOL After 13 years working with the Allstate Pension Center regarding my court-approved QDRO pension benefits, I’m now being asked for unusual additional identity/citizenship documentation despite being born in the United States, having a valid Social Security number, and being 66 years old. Even representatives told me they’ve “never seen a request like this.”

I’m simply asking Allstate to explain in writing:

Why a birth certificate is being required now when the QDRO was legally entered and approved by Allstate in 2013? What policy or regulation justifies delaying pension benefits already in process?

My hope is this gets resolved professionally and promptly because delaying pensions payment improperly and QDRO administration errors are illegal.

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

@semrush I have a high end subscription. Tried to give you "feedback" on your site, but your feedback is broken. Here's my complaint. https://t.co/R5H4v8UX8D a large discount furniture retailer shows up with a 7 figure Paid Ads budget in @spyfu but in your system you show it as $0. WTF?! We see the ads on Google! This is not the first time. What is wrong with your system. This is not a small mistake.

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

@Zoom I continue to complain and ask both [email protected] who runs https://t.co/7ngkJ4WsvE or https://t.co/x5m11xNr7C to stop spamming me with your unwanted never subscribed to calendar invitations! I believe you're both in violation of the law @ftc @FCC

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

Thanks. As an agency owner, I've instructed both my staff and clients under contract to forward any approach and notify me. Unfortunately, as you probably know, Google recos are not always what's best for clients, but what's best for Google's own ad revenue. Google will not take responsibility for their recos.

[Jim Bilello @JimBilello]

I’d like to raise a question to others in the Google Ads / agency space…

Has anyone else noticed an increase in Google reps reaching out directly to clients who are already under contract with an agency?

We’ve recently experienced this with one of our key accounts, and it creates a few real concerns:

• It bypasses the agency that is actively managing the account day-to-day
• It can confuse the client about strategy and direction
• And frankly, it can make Google appear disconnected from its own Partner ecosystem

As a Google Partner for over a decade, we’re always open to collaboration and insights from Google teams. But there’s an established structure for a reason—communication should flow through the agency managing the account.

When that doesn’t happen, it puts everyone in a difficult position… especially the client.

Curious if others are seeing the same trend, and how you’re handling it.

@OhioTurnpike thanks for being incompetent! Your https://t.co/b32KhUToRk doesn't work! Your 440-971-2222 number is a total failure! At least you offered a QR code for smart phone payment. Send your IT programmers back to school! I'm surprised anyone pays their tolls to you! @ftc Oh...thanks for not accepting the iPASS. Warning to the public "don't travel through OHIO!"
