Maybe try this. In the bottom right corner of the video replay screen there may be four small icons (you might need to roll you mouse cursor over that area to make them appear).  The four icons = "CC" ; "HD"; a white rectangle; and a white square with open spots on each side.


Click the third icon that is the white rectangle and see if that fixes your issue.

I don't know if this is the problem you are having, but try hitting <Ctrl> + <0> (that's the ZERO) at the same time on your keyboard and see if that fixes it.  If your page view somehow got zoomed in, this should reset it to normal.

It's unbelievable how people protest something they know nothing about and refuse to educate themselves.

To take this one step further, I saw a terrifying report the day that Trump nominated Kavanaugh to SCOTUS. Several hours before the nomination was even announced a person interviewed random college students (I believe from NYU) asking general questions like: "What do you think about President Trumps nominee to fill Anthony Kennedy's spot on the Supreme Court?"  Keep in mind that nobody was tagged yet by Trump at this point and it was still down to 3 or 4 different people.


The majority of the responses were disgust and outrage at Trump nominating a person who was such a racist bigot and was the absolute worst choice for the Court. They were speaking specifically of the individual nominated and his/her judicial record not generally of the possible nominees collectively. One of those outraged at this horrible person chosen was a professor at the university. (Parents are spending a lot of money for this imbecile to teach their kids).


Rather than make the reasonably intelligent response of: "I really haven't heard who he selected, so I cannot say yet at this point what my opinion is." or the even more informed response of: "Nice try, Mr. reporter guy! The official announcement isn't being made until later tonight." - instead these sheep blindly follow the liberal media and their liberal college professors' portrayal of their own brand of hatred and intolerance.

I may not have mentioned it clearly in my initial post, but you can do one, two, or all three goals in a single day. Each one works independently of the others, so you can earn $1 $2 or $3 each day depending on which goals you hit.

Off-Topic / UnitedHealthcare Motion - a new healthy way to earn a few extra dollars!

« on: July 21, 2018, 11:07:18 am »Message ID: 1228540

Just learned of this recently - maybe this was already mentioned here by someone else, but if not...


I have heath coverage through my wife's employer and she recently found out about the UnitedHealthCare Motion app/program where they will supply you with a fitness tracker to measure your steps and you can earn up to three dollars a day if you meet three different walking goals. From what I understand, the money is deposited quarterly into your HSA or equivalent - so it can only be used for medical payments and prescriptions, but an extra $5-10 a week or more would definitely help even in that area!


So the three different daily goals are:

• 10,000 total steps
• 500 steps in seven minutes or less on at least six different occasions (this is over a single midnight - midnight 24 hour period)
• 3,000 steps in 30 minutes

So the 500 and 3000 step goals will also count toward your 10,000 daily total, but the 3000 for 30 walk will not count toward one of your six 500 step goals = how I understand it.


I don't know if this is all across anyone covered by UnitedHealthCare, or how that works - but anyone who is in that healthcare plan might want to look it up and see if you are eligible. There are various fitness trackers that will work with the program and a smartphone and desktop app to track/sync your progress.  After my wife confirmed her eligibility, she got a $55 credit to use toward a basic pedometer tracker that works with the app. It shipped in about three days.


At first we didn't realize that I was also eligible, but I looked into it and they let me sign up and order my tracker today. So by mid week I hope to have a new way to earn a few dollars a day! Of course, it doesn't hurt to get a little bit healthier in the process!    Here is a link to the site

I ordered from chewy twice, but that was it. They had some sort of discount offered if I signed up and signed up for the auto shipping, but then failed to apply the discount on the second shipment. I can't recall now if it was a break on shipping or if it was a product price discount or what - not that it matters what it was for as it all goes against the bottom line.


I was going to contact customer support about it but ended up not because I stopped ordering from them soon afterward so any account credit they offered would have gone unused.


I didn't cancel my orders with them due to dissatisfaction and still highly regard them - they had a much better price per pound that I was getting through independent sellers on Amazon. It just so happened that the cat food we buy was no longer being distributed through Chewy.


We use the Fromm brand and they apparently only distribute through small/independent sellers.  Apparently Chewy was getting too big and corporate for them.  So we now found a dog grooming/agricultural store in a town about 20 miles away that keeps all of our cat's favorites in stock. They also have a very friendly and talkative furry fellow who always wants to help us pick out a bag or two when we stop in, then follows us to the checkout when we pay.  Just last week, he tried to climb inside of my wife's purse as she got her wallet out.

As long as he was competent and not under any duress or undue influence when he made out & signed his Will, I see nothing wrong with this. There are an infinite number of legitimate reasons why a wealthy parent might leave a child out of their Will.

Hey FusionCash! My newest suggestion is to look into adding the MinuteStaff offer wall. I've been enjoying that group on another site and am earning a good bit of coin by completing their various site visit tasks. They are very simple to complete in a marathon session and I imagine the host site gets a good bit of revenue for the users' time and clicks.

I too haven't been in years, but now I can, having problems with tooth sensitivity, been using Sensodyne.

Bshee, how does Sensodyne work for you?  I had a sensitivity problem as well and the dentist suggested Sensodyne for me. I used it for about 1-2 years, but did not notice much of a difference.  Then I tried using the Tom's of Maine brand sensitive variety and have been using it pretty much exclusively for the past 7 or 8 years. It works so much better than Sensodyne for me.

I now go every six months for a cleaning and checkup - but had gone about ten years without seeing the dentist at one point. No cavities over that span, but it took an extra long time for the hygienist to do a proper cleaning that first time back!

I signed up to do these quite a long time ago - but always forget about them, so I have earned very little (if anything) through it.

So let me step "out of line" here for just a moment; but First of all, congratulations!!!


As someone who went through the process legally and officially the right way; how do you feel about those who cross the border into the U.S. illegally?

My personal belief is that praise and worship are meant to be done among the fellowship of others. Although it is possible to have a personal/prayerful relationship with Jesus, being Christian is not a private matter and you stifle that relationship by not sharing it communally.  Being a Catholic, I cannot receive the body and blood of Christ (or any of the other Sacraments) merely through my own private prayer at home.


When it is all said and done, private prayer is better than no relationship at all, but sharing that relationship through weekly gathering on Sunday is where we are called.

May just be me, but I'm guessing the OP had a survey that asked about his/her status of employment and it did not offer a retired option - then the OP, not realizing that FC and the survey panel are not one and the same - decided to vent here in the forum.
