George has never been much of a technological person. Beefore the stroke, especially when he was working, he would use his phone to call me after work to ask if I needed anything, or simply to tell me he was on his way home. When we started doing our stacations as we called them, he took it with him, in case we were seperated and we needed to contact each other. Well, that was in the idea in theroy. While he could call me, when I tried calling him, he might not always hear it.
Fast forward to the stroke, and he's used a phone a handful of times, mostly to call his sister. But every time he's asked me for my phone, having me dial numbers for him or pull up contacts. So my daily driver, apart from my laptop, is my only contact with the outside world.
As a lot of you know, I make up what I ned by doing peacework online. One of the aps I used quite frequently and paid well for what it was, suddenly decided to brick on me. Once they supposedly resolved their server error, they go and deactivated my account because for some reason, I was using to many accounts. It's got one downside, heven forbid you need to change your phone, it's a new account and there's apparently a three account limit so they deactivated everything.
It was paying so well, so I thought, why not try my husband's old phone. I made a new paypal account in his name (in case that was the problem), and sure as whatever, (insirt word here) the app paid me twice, and I made more in two cashouts (actually 3) then I do in some of the other ones where I'm grinding for pennies

Good for you and best of luck to you with that, I had some good news as well today, My debit card has worn down and the chip does not register well, Found that Wells Fargo will renew my card online and not change my number but only the expiration date and code and that is great for me because now until the new card arrives I can still work with the old card online, That is always good news,

Most banks don't change the card number unless you report it stolen. So, that's always good. Also newer cards still have the chip, but now you can tap so they won't wear down as fast. Personally I perfer tap, especially since all your information is on the back, so no one sees anything except the card. But, then again I use Apple pay everywhere but Walmart, because Walmart wants to walmart and be mean.
