About Me

I do a buy online for the convenience. I do not like driving or in store shopping, the crowds and traffic. I am a mother and a woman of a particular age. I love my home and this life afforded me, even in this chaos.

How I Can Help

I have knowledge and a good sense of consumerism, especially from back in the day to the now and projecting into the future of buying. I am careful and try to research spending, trends, and products.

Interests

Cooking, reading, was entertaining, travel

  • Whoopconnect

12/4/23

The American Connectivity Program is a great thing. It provides Internet services to homes that meet certain guidelines therefore giving access to all who otherwise could not afford the ridiculous pricing of some providers. So, as usual when there is something thing good afoot and available to Joe and Joany Consumer, the feeding frenzy begins.
Let's talk about Whoop Connect. So here is a company that I am not quite sure where based, I don't quite think they are sourced in the states.
They are on the ACP meal bus as a provider of services. They're hook, sign up and get a free tablet. Now most people, myself included, think " Oh boy the Internet and a FREE TABLET! Eeéeée! STOP!.…... Shouldn't we ask " what's the catch. Hell no it's the Internet and a FREE TABLET!
Sign me up. Worse permission ever.
So the tablet comes, it's a tiny bit bigger than the new cell phones. And I have no idea who makes these inadequate pieces of technology. The sim is already installed so all need doing is turn her on and voila. Now let's input our personal information and data, easy enough... Wait, who is this Administrator? Sennco DPC? I thought Whoop Connect was the provider, T-Mobile is the service network and I, consumer am the admin.
Nothing was further from true.
The tablet is under substandard and shouldn't be used. It looks weeks and hours to remove Sennco DPC as admin. Leaving a feeling that ponders is this tablet stolen. I can tell it was a refurbished item. While I have no conflict with donations or second sale, stolen things are another beast. And though Whoop Connect stated that there is no access by anyone to my data, that is not what the tablet says.
As for service, the only Internet available is by hotspot on the damn tablet. You are not afforded the privilege of being able to have the broadband or Internet experience in your home or on any of your other devices.
Your speed via T-Mobile is supposed to be 4G, on the tablet you are lucky to get between 2-3. And even that lags. The camera does not work but one way, so no selfies, unless you can set the timer and run in front of the thing. The mics are grayed out and the admin can remove the bar. But who is the admin, it's not me, won't be you... Then who?
Summarized conclusion, firstly do not chose Whoop Connect at all, their techs and CSRs though apologetic are trained to be that way in a feeble attempt to enhance the customer experience. Don't fall for it! Secondly remember that the program is offered by the government, so all of these companies have signed up as legitimate service providers and a lot of them are not! And lastly do your research. Familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of any potential provider you choose. Free is just a hook, strategically placed in the pond.
And if your are on the ACP program be mindful that if you sign into a provider you must stay with the provider for 30 calendar days before you are allowed to transfer to another, and without Internet access, no access without using a hotspot that seems like an eternity with hell on your heels.
And there is one dishonorable mention. TracFone who refused to provide service to on of their own phones as it was locked, for a reason they could not provide and they would unlock a phone owned for 6 years, one of their own, a 35.00 phone for 78.00 dollars. Needles to say that conversation did not end well for them.

  • Social Catfish

Social catfish, for those not familiar with them, is a service that provides a forum for people who suspect that their online love interest may be a fraud or scammer. They offer an array of junior gumshoe services online and even a Senior gumshoe or investigator in the flesh. The problem here is when you go to use one of their services that they offer up never provides pricing until the end of you submission for the search. The preliminary search hypes the findings as postive, once you get on the hook that the catfish has cast, make the payment the information comes back possible or could be or similar image... WAIT... WHAT?!. AND you pay a fee for every different search you choose. Whether it be reverse image, emails, phones, address... etc. Do not fall for the low introductry pricing because anywhere from 7 - 14 days your card will be charged again for a substantial monthly fee. Getting them to cancel your subscription and getting a full refund can prove to be difficult. So maybe you'd be better off hiring old gumshoe with a nose like a blood hound than getting hoodwinked by these guys or even better use the more available option, follow your 'Spidey senses'.

Hello Shalagh - You have a very unique name and we couldn't find any users with that name. Did you use our service? We don't charge for every search you make. We have two separate plans. One for images and the other for social searches that include emails, names usernames, emails, addresses, and unclaimed funds. We have introductory pricing for two reasons. One, to allow users to try out the service before they buy. Everything is disclosed and we send out reminder emails. We're extremely transparent. We're also available 24 hours/day through email and often respond in 4 hours or less. We are available through chat and phone, too. Also, users can cancel their accounts on their own through their dashboard using the big red cancel button. We're super transparent. We're confused at this review and invite you to contact us to understand where you're coming from to look at how we can make the service more clear if that was the issue. We look forward to hearing from you.

  • Brayola

I went to shop Brayola, because one day I realized that Walmart and Target could no longer facilitate the changing gravity stricken landscape was becoming this body. So i went to the Brayola website. There is something there for every size. Now here is the kicker. There are bras and panties, shapers, leggings. But the sizes are off, at least for me. I have to order in two different cup sizes for a good fit depending on the cut and style of the bra. The shaper that I ordered fit but it seemed a little too loose and really doesn't rearrange much. I ordered two panties, haven't worn them, they look a little on the small side. The quality of the material is a plus. One of the bras that I ordered, a front loader was difficult to master because of its closure and the underwire was bent, ouch! I find pricing reasonable, affordable, some items can be a little pricey. For your money Brayola is an option, just be careful of the sizing... and the underwires.

Think yourself in a bar with warm beer in a dirty glass and completed with the 3 man Billy Bob band and peanut shells on the floor. Welcome to dating from POF in the time of Covid. This place is vile, scary and you will need to shower several times if anyone from here should contact you. I don't know if customer care actually exists. This is one womans' opinion. The profiles are; lets just say not what you really get, and please turn off your GPS access, because this lot will try and find you. Please try a different pond, lake, stream. At POF you will not find trout, only carp.

We all look for love, friends in this time of Corona. Virtual dating is a good option for, especially for us old codgers. OK Cupid provides a viable option. The sight does not however make your likes available until you pay an exorbitant amount of your cash. Guaranteeing nothing, like most. The pickings are pretty good and there are actually good looking intellectual men to be discovered. You do get your share of vile. This site could be better but considering some of the sites out there, this one has the possibility of you actually being able to ride into the sunset with your Knight on his donkey and that beats the stick horse.
