I’m getting emails from CITI AAdvantage about someone else’s credit card transactions and replying that they have wrong email didn’t work. Confirmed that I had a balance: $803.90. It’s a relief that he paid $158.00 leaving a balance of 645.90, but I’d rather not hear about it

On a walk through Kildonan (Jurassic?)Park on Sunday, we were delighted by about a dozen dinosaurs and a donkey walking through the park. https://t.co/AGwdradGBT

@ImIncorrigible If you’re an actor, that was a very compelling performance, the emotion in that was evident really affected me. Great job for a borderline coherent explanation that says more with the emotions than the words.

@GoodLifeFitness When I call to cancel,you don’t answer the phone. Your message sends me to your website, where you can’t cancel. Your awful.

[Rick Yackel @rickyackel]

GoodLife fitness started taking money out of my account without notice. Now you can’t phone them to stop. Creeps.

The #Shaw myshaw app is a complete Flustercluck. It disconnected me 4 times trying to make an appointment. Do not believe their pitch to use it when you are on hold.

@gruber What nobody seems to mention when using the old format iPhone 6-8/SE is that you can and use it upside down. “Can’t we work with the notch notch at the bottom? “, we ask. Apple: “NO!” Frustrating!

[Rick Yackel @rickyackel]

So #Shaw misses an appointment last Thursday, with no reason at all. Then they have us hook up the old equipment. It doesn’t work and then they tell my 86 year old mom that she won’t get service for another week. It’s torture for her. Shaw sucks!

WTF:
The federal tax credit rate of 33% applies to charitable donations in excess of $200 to the extent the individual has taxable income in excess
of $210,371; otherwise, a federal tax credit rate of 29% applies.
ARE YOU RICH OR POOR?!!

@ShowAndSave Hadn’t opened the app in a month. Opened it last night and it made me enter the email/ password or 6 digit code. Email and password were not stored on my iPhone (should if coded properly) -selected 6 digit code. Didn’t work. Please refund my money and fix your app.

@jsnell It's not a computer. The iPad version of Garageband is SO hobbled. On the mac you can edit all 128 MIDI controllers plus EQ but all you can control in the iPad version is Volume. I wanted to add sustain pedal to a piano track and there is no way. It makes finishing impossible-SAD

Contra-flow bike lanes are a safe and efficient way for cyclists to navigate traffic. For more information on how they work, see: https://t.co/wTI43by4w5

@gruber You know what would really cause disruption is using the cheap iPad panel on the new MacBook LE and include an "A" chip to offer pencil support. It could have a pencil slot built in and really disrupt the chromebook.

@hotdogsladies Your endorsement of Libby is premature. Using accessibility to screen read sucks on Libby on iPhone as it speaks the overview before it reads each chapter. Overdrive is a lot friendlier. Just switch from the app and it will read the chapter without stopping.

[Rick Yackel @rickyackel]

@pc_optimum I phoned your number because my mom’s optimum app won’t show anything and the phone hung up after 14 minutes after promising a 15 minute wait. Grrrr. Signing in doesn’t work and her email is already in use. Crappy system!!

@Ihnatko Your endorsement of Libby is premature. Using accessibility to screen read sucks on Libby as it speaks all the chapter names before it reads the chapter. Overdrive is a lot friendlier. Just switch from the app and it will read the chapter without stopping.
