@theatermania Thanks for acknowledging that it was Hal’s show since he built it. All Twain’s words, but his work for 63 years.

Some days my spelling is so bad I want to learn another language just to break up with English.

Zelda #totk was fun when I got to visit the world of Hyrule once again. But I was missing the point. #totk is the greatest open world game ever. No experience is duplicated. Walk, teleport, fly, ride a horse, build a train, build a fan car, ride a skateboard. It’s up to you.

@westerndigital looking for an update on my order from March 31st.

[howardholton @howardholton]

@AmazonHelp This was great. I’ll be saving this link in case I need it in the future. Once I got a rep in chat the problem was solved very quickly.

[howardholton @howardholton]

@amazon why am I getting emails saying "we refunded you for XYZ product but have not received it yet" when it was returned to Kohl's weeks ago?

[howardholton @howardholton]

@AmazonHelp I take it back. Found a way to chat with an associate.

[howardholton @howardholton]

@AmazonHelp That didn’t help. Just sent me to the return assistant who said “looks like we received this item” which is opposite of the email saying I would be charged. And that’s the end of the chat. No further opportunity to use the tool.

Day 45 of getting the run around from @synchrony I wouldn’t recommend them for anything.

Just watched #vengeance. Never been so happy to have stuck with a film. It was tough to get into at first, the characters just weren’t likable. The story was slow and meandered a bit. But then it slaps you awake. Becomes sweet and thoughtful like opening a door. Incredible.

@Xfinity I sure am getting tired of the daily outages on my internet service. Seems I’m paying for a full month of service and I am not getting it. Why should I have to pay for the full month?

[howardholton @howardholton]

@comcast @Xfinity what is with all the outages? And the terrible virtual assistant? Service has been very reliable until the last two months, not I feel like we are getting the roulette experience.

I want to start a restaurant called “Type-2” where a diabetic (me) makes all kinds of over the top foods. Like butterfinger pancakes, or deep fried French toast with amaretto whipped cream.

Side note - I miss sweets, I hope it isn’t showing….

[howardholton @howardholton]

@tedcruz I agree Ted. It’s appalling that you are still in office.

[howardholton @howardholton]

Umm. I think I need Bo Crowder in Space.

[howardholton @howardholton]

@GeorgePapa19 Hilarious - we uncovered evidence, but it was deleted within 30 days of the election. So when did you uncover the evidence? Within 30 days? Or after, in which case how did you discover what had been deleted? Did you just guess?

@Uber @Uber_Support where is my $5.00 when I wait for the driver for 5 minutes and they cancel? Why does this only work one way?

[howardholton @howardholton]

I’m now 45 minutes on hold as I dig down the rabbit hole of failure here. Curious how the airlines validate your KTN without ever seeing your ID? And with the tickets not matching 100%. I’m not sure they do.

[howardholton @howardholton]

On the phone with a major airline trying to link my ticket to my status account. The names don’t match (first and last do, but middle and suffix do not). Not an issue for any other airline but is here. They cannot tell me how long they will keep a copy of my ID. #gdpr #grcs #ccpa

[howardholton @howardholton]

To all companies with loyalty programs: if you do not validate identification when the account is created then do not ask for validation to do a name change. If you didn’t need it then, then you don’t need it now. Why do you want to store my PII?
