    Last month, I got an email from ATT saying because they were upgrading their wireless system and I had an old IPhone (5) that couldn't use the system, they would ship me a new IPhone for free. I tried the ATT text help line, but the hirelings there didn't know anything about it. Unfortunately I deleted the original email and cannot find it. The email indicated my old IPhone version and its number, which did lend credence to the contact. Last week, I got a notification that ATT has shipped me an IPhone SE 2020 64 GB. The USPS tracking number shows something is indeed on its way. Has anyone else been notified about this? I know I'm not the only one who doesn't upgrade with each new version.

    Lately, my go to has been an Avacado Bacon Burger, with extra meat and grilled onions and peppers. Tasty.

    Britbox comments seeping into Amazon Prime thread. If you are even a casual fan of Shakespeare and like British comedy, Upstart Crow is excellent. Many references to the Bard's better known works, plus mocking our current societal conditions, some subtle, often not.

    Lots of good British mysteries and comedies there.

    He expects Trump will come through for him after March 4.

    I am enjoying Criminal: United Kingdom. It's just interrogations of suspects/persons of interest. Detectives also talk strategy outside the room. My wife likes it a lot as she likes detective shows, but hates those with a lot of violence.

    Follow up on my frozen outside tap. I tried several buckets of water to no avail. I used a hair dryer inside the garage (opened up some of the sheet rock) and on the tap itself. Still no luck Left it open and opened some inside for pressure release, and after a couple of hours of warming temperatures, it started flowing naturally. Turned off, it has a very slight drip. Will replace packing washer per bongos rec. Thanks, all. Will be team drip next go around.

    Opened some inside taps. Removed cover. Poured room temp water on till ice pack gone, plus a couple of other buckets. Opened tap. No dribble or stream yet. Watching and waiting. No indications inside or outside of house of leaks, yet.

    I was team insulated cover for my outside taps. The one on the N side burst or had a leak. The tap is covered solid by ice in the shape of the cover. Do I need to turn off water main at street before I use water to unfreeze block of ice surrounding tap? Then turn back on to see what kind of leak I have?

    Doesn't he know that he is advocating against the right of the Roman Catholic Church to enforce its religious beliefs in its own state? He obviously doesn't believe in freedom of religion.

    Two over seventies in this household. Flushing regularly not a problem.

    Same here. I hope the styrofoam covers are adequate to 5 degrees (@6:30 this AM). I have kept all faucets in house dripping or light stream and open under sink cabinets at night. Normally, we turn heat off at night, but have set it at 60 the past two. Also have lights in unheated garage where wife has several plants stored. Seems to keep it just below 40. One of my outdoor faucets is on this wall, so hopefully that helps with it also.

    Talk about a true classic reference. Done long before most Surlyites were born.

    When I was in school, the Ticket was still WRR. I used to listen to it on Friday and Saturday nights for Blues and R&B with Jim Lowe and his "How Blue Can You Get?" show. Since it's been 50+ years since I left the Grove for Austin, I probably never encountered Blue from the Grove. Definitely a pre-Ticket reference.

    One of them was prescient. "Ted Cruz sold us out!"

    We shared a tent block with Hillcrest guys at a high school ROTC camp at Camp Wolters TX back in the sixties. Some called it Hebrew High. One guy (goy) said it was great going to school on Jewish high holy days. So few students and teachers were there, everybody roamed the halls and hung out.

    Mind you, they'd all be 70+ year old GILFs now, if still alive.

    I had a history teacher, Dr. Talmadge White, that once said that most of us would graduate from HS, stay in what he called "Peasant Grove", marry a high school sweetheart, and live the rest of our lives in PG. Maybe that's why you never met any. I, luckily, escaped that, but many I went to HS with didn't. However, the Director of the Briscoe Center of American History at UT Austin and a former Democratic Party Chair of Fayette Co were co graduates of mine.
