I'm loving the symmetrical spec of having fiber with super fast upload speeds to go with the download speed.

In addition to signing up as a new customer for their fiber service, I got $400 worth of prepaid Visa cards coming my way. Not bad, huh?

Xfinity/Comcast won't give me shit though I've been a customer for a dozen years and they STILL require signing a 2 year contract just to get a crappy discount. Sayonara Xfinity.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to add they're throwing in HBO Max for free with my service. Normally $14.99/mo. so that's pretty awesome. The plan is also month-to-month and I can cancel my service at anytime if I want. I won't do that but it's there unlike my previous provider.
Call them back and say make that box free of you'll leve to their competitor. I used to work for these sorts of companies. Demand the moon and never give up. You can get it.

He'll probably put a scope down in there to take a look. I've had it done before. They spray something in there to numb it so only slightly uncomfortable.

Hopefully it will be a good day. lol

Well hopefully it's nothing too serious.
It is a good day if you come out and they found nothing bad. He said everything looks normal and it's probably muscle strain due to heavy phone use. You know, looking down at your phone. Works for me.

He recommended a chiropractor. Pass...

I'll try looking at the phone with my head/neck straight.

Are you being serious? That's what the doctor said? If so, you are definitely looking at your phone way too much. Haha. But yeah, generally speaking that became a good day for you.

He said you wouldn't believe how many people come in with neck/throat pain and it's due to too much time spent looking down at their phone, so yeah, it's better than throat cancer.

PS - I am an ex-smoker who quit almost 30 years ago but always wonder if I quit soon enough? I know it's unnecessary worrying, but I can't help it. It lingers in the back of my head.

Oh yeah I don't blame you for always wondering or having that in the back of your mind. I'd imagine if you quit 30 years ago and haven't had any signs of anything now, you're probably okay. I can still understand the concerns though and I guess that's why it's a good idea to get checked up regularly.

Wifey has the same issue except it's from reading ebooks all the time on her iPad.

Same here. Ex-smoker and former asbestos abatement worker. I still get a chest xray every year. So far, so good. But I know from my cycling efforts that my lungs aren't as efficient as they could be. I get winded on small hills and I'm gasping for air on steep or long hills.

Chest xray - thank you for reminding me. It's been a few years.

Today was a good day b/c I was sitting at lunch and the service manager from another dealership in town approached me and asked me if I wanted a job.

I DON'T as I am super happy with my current employer/employment but it feels good that he knew who I was and my reputation

FB employees, maybe? They're having trouble just moving around inside their own buildings.
