interesting recommendation on the movie "Up in the Air" - but the multiple layoff scenes were just a little bit TOO realistic!

Target AppleTV+ offer is for newbies only. Groupon has from now until I don't know when a free two months AppleTV+ that doesn't seem to have the restriction. I just got it but haven't activated. I had 3 months with my new iPhone last year, watched all of Ted Lasso, Coda, Tehran (season 1), Come from Away and then cancelled.

I'm back because I want to show my mom Coda.

I also received a scamming email, in Sept., not from Amazon, but supposedly from Travelocity. This was the day before a trip to NYC. The email said that the hotel I was to stay at had overbooked and my reservation was cancelled. But if I called and it listed a phone number and a reservation number, they would find a place for me but the price would be higher because of short notice. I went to the Travelocity website and the phone number and reservation number were different than the email. Luckily my niece lives in nyc, not too far from where I was going to stay, and said she would go to the hotel to see what was going on. She went and said some maintenance guy was there and said the hotel had been closed for a while. She called me back, I logged on and cancelled my reservation that was still in the Travelocity system and found a new hotel, not through Travelocity though, more money, but great location.
