i'm in my mid 40s. I talk about random stuff that comes to mind. I like music, reading, cooking, and enjoy spending time with friends.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

@IInsaneAtheist Glad it worked out for you.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

@twurby74 I will try out Mona when it becomes available to the general public. I'll probably try out some other apps too just to have some experience with them.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

@twurby74 Tustor and another app called Mona. All I can tell you about mona is that it's in beta right now. You can't get it directly yet, you have to pay for spring for Twitter first. And I'm not spending money on anything for Twitter now. But a lot of people like it.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

@twurby74 I use an app called metatext. It's free. I find it easy to work with. The downside to it is that it's not currently being developed so you have what you have with it. But you can read through peoples posts, and it's easy to use once you get the hang of it. I know other people use

I'm not sure how I pulled it off, but I made hamburger patties during my lunch break. The beauty of that is they will be ready by the time I'm done working. Of course cleaning up the pan they were fried in isn't gonna be much fun, but that job comes with the territory.

It's really annoying when you get a rewards card from your insurance company as a benefit for doing wellness activities. But half the stores they give you to use it at are not in your area. The dollar amount is small enough that the online merchants aren't interested either.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

@IInsaneAtheist I've never tried toot, but some people seem to really like it. I use metatext. You can use it to make posts, read through timelines, set some preferences, and it's easy to use.

@doug73 @Bruce_Toews I just feel bad for some of the companies that put a lot of time and effort into writing good third-party and accessible clients. It sucks losing a job, or your livelihood, through no fault of your own. I know it happens, but it still sucks.

Same guy who played Tuvok on Voyager, Tim Russ.

The genesis wave series is by far one of the best Star Trek compilations I've ever read. John Vornholt is the author. You probably won't find it on BARD, but it's available through Audible and iTunes. It's a pretty intense story, but I recommend the read. It's narrated by the

@IInsaneAtheist What I hated most about school. I sucked at taking tests. But I'm sure that's not what you had in mind.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

I guess my point to that last one as I will be sad if the company goes. Yes there are a lot of things that they could do better, but there have also been times when I really appreciated having the help.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

After two days of searching and trying to find something to buy, I finally got to use one of my gift cards and I got myself a new sweatshirt that I hope I will like. It should get here in the next couple of weeks, but that's OK because there's plenty of winter still left.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

I'm glad I had an aira agent to help do this. The local stores that I can get to easily don't sell things in my size. And it would be really hard for me to pick clothes out online. I don't have family who would be willing to help me do this either.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

@IInsaneAtheist Well for whatever it's worth, I've migrated over to Mastodon. I really don't like the native Twitter app, but with all the problems they're having, I guess I don't feel particularly like spending money on another twitter client.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

I just got a look at the new aira plans and prices. They say they will offset some of the costs for individuals depending on how you answer some questions, but you have to call customer care to ask for the price break. Those will be tough numbers for a lot of people.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

restaurants can get hurt by someone's bad experiences with a third-party delivery company.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

🧵 I just got a pizza and crazy bread for supper tonight. The food was excellent. The delivery experience was not. Sometimes I wish these restaurants would go back to using their own people. The driver didn't follow the delivery instructions I gave them.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

The food had been left sitting out in the cold for at least a couple of minutes before I found it. When I reported the issue, I got a message back saying that the time for me to do anything about the order had passed. I guess it worked out Ok, but it's too bad that good

[Julie @Julieroc40]

The chair together yourself. I'm good at some things, but handiwork has never been one of them. It's times like this I really miss having someone like my dad around.

[Julie @Julieroc40]

🧵 I'm thinking about getting a new office chair. The problem is that most of these only seem to be available online. I really wish I could go into a store, and actually try the chair out and see if I like it. The other part that may be a Challenge for me is that you have to put
