I was about to watch this episode which I assumed I had recorded on Freeform, but it

seems not to have aired there.  So, I went to watch it on Peacock and it seems to require

a Premium subscription.  But then I picked an episode of another show which I had

already started to watch and it also requires a premium subscription,

~~  I googled and discovered that, without notice (it seems), that the premium subscription

that was included with Xfinity, ended yesterday.  If I had been notified, I would have spent

the weekend watching some of those shows.  I do not know why I never got a notice.

~~  Given that there is a writers' strike, this makes this a bad time for this to have happened.

-- 12:36p  It said that Xfinity Rewards members who are at Diamond level can 

redeem a reward to get Peacock Premium for free, so I logged in and found that joining

Xfinity Rewards is free, so I joined.  I don't know why I had to choose to join if it's free.

Then it told me that I AM at Diamond level (because I've been an Xfinity customer for so long),

but I don't see where I can choose to select this reward.  So, I logged off and back on

but that didn't change anything.  I tried to ask the knowledge base, but that didn't

provide an answer, so I tried to chat with an online agent, but it said that none were

currently available.

This is my 2nd time there (not counting the one in Schaumburg).  Last time I had a coupon.

This time, I downloaded the app this afternoon, but when I got there I needed a wifi password

but they told me that their wifi has never worked.  Seems like they should turn the router off,

but what's so difficult about getting their wifi to work?

~~   So, I turned to leave -- I was going to go to the Smashburger that just opened in the

same strip mall, but then they offered me a free drink.  I accepted, but before they gave it

to me, I asked if they could give me the $5 discount that I expected for using the app for

the first time, and they agreed!

On "Outlander", they portray Bonnie Prince Charlie, a historical figure who I know I have heard of

but I doubt that he was covered in any history courses that I had in school.  So, I asked

Chat GPT where I might have encountered a mention of him and the only thing mentioned

was an episode of "Dr Who".  I don't remember anything about the specific episode.

In addition, the app wouldn't let me get a large soda for $1 because, it claimed,

I had just redeemed a deal -- but it won't say what or when.

Wed

--   8:52a  Up

actual birth month but it will then start the following month.  He couldn't explain why their

web site is confusing on that issue.

-- 9:30a  Leaving to get breakfast, then get software update on car.

When I arrived at the McD near the dealership, the parking lot was full.  I had planned to

park and enter my order on my phone.  I couldn't drive around to the other side of the

restaurant because there was a bread delivery truck parked in the go-around lane so I

had no choice but to go to the drive-thru but I hadn't opened up the app yet.  I explained

that at the kiosk and they suggested I park in the "order ahead" spots on the other side,

which I did.

~~  I meant to get sausage/egg burritos, because my blog said I got that there without cheese

before, but when it wouldn't accept the order, I got hotcakes & sausage insted.  I then

remembered that the last time, I went inside to order and I asked them to make it without cheese.

~~  When I got to the dealership for my 10a appt, I saw that they had switched things around so

the service entrance was on the other side.  When I got into the waiting room, it was crowded

and no one was wearing a mask.  I watched "The View" on my tablet.

-- 11:00a  They said it was finished and told me to wait outside and they'd pull my car around after they  finish washing it.  When I saw my car coming, I expected him to just top and I'd get in, but he started to parallel park it and he bumped the car behind the spot!  Luckily, there didn't seem to be any damage on either car.  He was parking it so that he could wipe it dry -- something he should have done before pulling it around!

Claire, a WWII nurse, reunites with her husband after 5 years of war. A second honeymoon goes awry when she falls back through time 

to 1740's Scotland where she meets a dashing Highland warrior and gets drawn into an epic rebellion.

~~  Normally, I avoid period pieces, but this one is working on it's 7th season.

~~  After watching, the app was pretty insistent that I upgrade to new version.

I was afraid that maybe it wouldn't work on my old tablet (since TiVo no longer works), but

it seems to have successfully installed.

I tried to use their app for the first time but when I entered my credit card info it just sat there.

Also, it wouldn't let me order a senior Coke, and the small Coke is over $2.  Also, got gas.

~~  When I left the house there was a package from Target outside my courtyard (in other words, it was

NOT near the front door.)  It was for a different street and a different number.  I brought it to

the correct address and there was another package (inside the courtyard) also there.

Loosely based on the rivalry between the founders of Rip Curl and Quiksilver surf brands, both started during the late 1960s/early 1970s, in Torquay, Australia.

~~  They seem to be trying to imply that shorts for surfing were invented by one of the characters,

although that doesn't seem to be true.  I don't know if they came up with a revolutionary design.

~~  Meanwhile, the heavy Aussie accents and idioms make the show difficult to follow, and I don't need

to see scenes of hippies surfing.
