A reminder that one can product change to Citi’s Dividens CC. This card gives you 5% back. Easy $300/year.
Frequent Flier Miles’ design reminds me of the early days of commercial internet, when Mosaic was the first browser.

I bet an EKG readout during the typing of this zinger would have looked like 45’s signature from all the self-congratulatory endorphins released. Bravo to your bottomless well of witticisms.

Great news about your mother’s first vaccine shot.

Citi closed our TY Preferred card for inactivity. I’m getting sloppy-had 17k TYPs since Bush was in office. My wife said “It’s a blessing”. I think she’s on to something.

Bye bye Gary at Frequent Flier Miles…just could not take one more asskissing link to VFTW for a post that so many wrote about…even after all these years.

So, after AFAR turned into a credit card whore, it was Matador Network’s turn, bye bye.

I also deleted some “friends” in Facebook and a few Linkedin connections too, just too much Trump shit.

The Feedly is so much more easily managed now and a big source of my stress taken care of.

With just two credit card conversions this month (the only meaningful revenue generator still left here) the process above has made justifying to carry on here much easier for me.

No affiliate link for me for the CSP card yet. And no referral link yet either. While all others are going all out selling it. The CSR affiliate link is in my links by the way.

TBB is finally on the road to align the time spent here with the revenue it generates. It was time after 8.5 years. I think I am good with a couple of posts per week here going forward. Until the cc links are taken away that is, it is amazing I still have them. I get more conversions and more donations——>it will likely lead to more posts. Presently, after losing the Amazon Affiliates revenue source, I am in much better head space.

To aspiring bloggers, decide what you want your blog to bring to you. Trying to grow it in an organic way all by yourself is not recommended unless you are insane like me.

In the meantime, Michigan Covid cases have more than tripled and several school outbreaks after opening…

Left the best news for last: My mother in Greece is finally getting her first vaccine shot today!

I thought about you when I first saw this, glad to see you are okay.

I am tired of going on anti gun rants here, it will make no difference at all. It was evident after Sandy Hill when nothing was done…

I am just too numb to even say anything anymore…

10 dead (so far). I greet and regularly talk with several people who work there. I hope they’re ok, but I feel terrible as I do since their survival means someone else is dead.

I don’t know what to think or feel. Except I know this is no way to live.

My god, seriously? WeWork is not done yet taking money WTF!

Only six items worthy of entry to the next TBB post…whenever that comes!
