same here.

yes same here. its been bad. good luck calling support, they are terrible. i tired for 3 weeks before i got someone competent enough to listen to what i had already done, and send a tech.

they couldnt resolve it, but the tech left me a new modem just in case. ive been thinking all day today its my problem again, but im kinda glad im not the only one this time

Yes, had about 3 times service went down for short periods but has seem to resolve itself for now.

So you're having brief outages that quickly resolve themselves today? Just want to confirm so I can decide if it's my hardware or theirs.

Yes, I have been having the same issue. I’m hoping this isn’t going to be a common issue with them. Had no issues when it was quantum, but have had a few since it went to brightspeed.

This looks like it might be a post about area ISPs because it contains the word internet. If so be sure to read past posts on the subject. They all basically say this: In Springfield your options are Mediacom, Att, and now Brightspeed Fiber (in limited areas).

Trees were unusually short stocked this year. True Value, where I usually get one, weren't even selling any because their costs went up so much.

Very cool place.

They are closed Monday and Tuesdays :(

Relics Antique Mall is huge and has a cool mix of legitimate antiques and silly crap, plus you can get a beer or wine to sip as you putter around :)

Flea markets. Take hours to browse and cost nothing till you find a gem.

Walk the mall and people watch.

Walking around Bass Pro

The art museum might be something to look into. I'm pretty sure it is free to go to.

Multipli is excellent

Same!!

Not sure its open today but we have a natural history museum that is a sorta hidden gem. https://www.monatsci.org/

That’s not true. You’re only charged a dollar if you have overdraft from savings to checking. If you don’t keep a balance in your checking account and swipe your card, it will pull from savings and charge a dollar after 3 automatic transfers. This does not apply if you transfer money on your own.

We always get a fir.

Yes I had heard that has well last year there were for sure pest issues that caused issues this year seemed worse for tree availability and cost though not sure why.

Thanks can I ask what species you buy? We did a fresh cut tree from a local farm this year thinking it might be better (it was a pitch loblolly pine) last year though we got a frasier fir that was precut it fared better but still not great. We always do the fresh cut before bringing it inside.

A succulent Chinese meal?

I've never had a problem with our tree drying out, and we buy it on Thanksgiving. They usually trim the bottom so the water is better absorbed into the trunk. We use the solution that you can buy to add into the water to give the tree extra longevity.

I don't know what's normal because I have a fake one, but I have heard there's been a Christmas tree shortage the last few years.

Not to mention finding out your hotel doesn’t have a shuttle until after you booked and trying to get to the airport.
