the Federalist Society deep ties with Opus Dei, & Putin's oligarchs.


His book is an important read. We are up against long standing international forces.

Any recommendations for a good durable reliable cell phone?

Bowing to the inevitable, I have to get a cell phone.
Need easy to see numbers, not a real small type, nothing real expensive.

I will be buying minutes for it, not using a regular service plan.

Don't need/ want e-mail/internet access, just something to use to call around town, and to have a cell number that PayPal and other services are now demanding
( grrrrrr).
I am home most of the time, retired, don't need to make a lot of calls on a cell, don't like talking on them, actually.
I have a landline for home.

Probably will get one on Amazon, out here in the boonies son't have a lot of shopping options, want to avoid a dud.

any do's/don'ts appreciated.

I just got a stimulous check for.....$600.00?!?

via my Soc sec. direct deposit.

Weren't they supposed to be $1200.00 for a single person?
No dependents, we don't owe any income tax.


To add:
We both got the 1200.00 last spring and the 600.00 in Jan. this year.

This looks like a fubar....am wondering how big of a problem it will be.

Problem solved, thanks to a couple eagle eyed DU folks.
This is the notice I didn't get after the Jan. 600.00. the letter is dated ..Feb. 24..
GGGDDMM De Joy.

I've just had cataract surgery and it's difficult to read somethings....

TY all for your help.
