    I wonder how many recurring contracts you are in now?

    Only those that I know I'm going to keep. Not a single company is forcing me to go beyond my contractual limit. I resubscribe or cancel on my terms.

    I hope you're right. But they are very good at sneaking in auto renewals into the terms of service while advertising them as single event purchases. Of course they can usually be cancelled if you are aware of them. Otherwise there's a termination fee.

    But maybe you have lived a charmed life and not been confronted with scams 20 times a day for the last thirty years.

    I'm not so fortunate.

    Back to baseball. Will Ivey be overwhelmed or raise his performance above expectations even he couldn't imagine? Everything is possible in a debut performance.

    Good luck! We're rooting for you.

    Threw strikes on the edge. Three fly balls. Good start.

    Not sure why paying attention to the things I chose to purchase and paying attention to their terms and conditions would be considered living a charmed life.

    For example, during COVID I subscribed to an online news site for 6 months at 99 cents a month. Their terms were such that price would increase to around $5/ month after the trial period. It was real easy to put a note in my phone calendar to cancel 5 1/2 months later.

    Not sure why all these sites or services are scamming you.

    Here’s the thing, if you can’t spot the sucker in the first half hour…
