Random Fail: First World Problems

Just FYI, that's not really anything that is exclusive to Comcast.
That can happen to you with any provider that has a webmail client (which is damn near all of them). Chances are they won't tell you either.

It happens, man.

Who uses their ISP's e-mail service anyway? I didn't know people actually did that.

I do since i've had them for the longest time, too lazy to change multiple accounts emails to go over to it.

I do for family and more important things like contact with lawyers, real estate agent etc...

Gmail for everything else.

I've had the account for well over a decade. Longer than that, even, if you include the couple years before I'd moved away for a bit and it was disabled for about a year. Fortunately it wasn't the parent account, since my old AOL days and other ventures taught me to never ever do anything with those unless you can't help it. Otherwise, having it set up bestowed other perks like personal storage space before things like some of the usual file sharing sites popped up or even google being a thing. Some places were, and even still are, pretty intolerant of aol/yahoo/hotmail/etc.-type accounts because they could effectively be created from nothing and be perceived as just a bot/spammer.

I can't say I'm overly attached to it. Only hassle is readjusting things elsewhere should I migrate again and getting word out to the appropriate people. It is slowly becoming just a social junk account, but I'm not feeling compelled to rush it.

Went to buckle my belt after using the bathroom this morning and the damn buckle came off on my hand. Didn't even tug hard or anything.

**arus2001** · 2014-12-29 18:49

You're either the Hulk or the belt's French. Choose wisely!

**Melena** · 2014-12-29 18:59

Belt was from Macy's, fuck all if I can remember the brand. I'm guessing just shitty quality.

I did for about ~13 years. I've mostly switched to gmail in the last year or two, but still use the other for some stuff.

Maybe it's just because I've moved so many times, especially with the military, I was never in one place long enough to want to use an e-mail provided by an ISP which I would be unlikely to have more than a couple of years.

Yeah lol I never use ISP provided emails ever. If I change isp's then the email changes and I don't want to deal with that crap.

Belts suck. I'm convinced they're all made like shit or something.

I've had to buy a new belt every year at least for the past four years... they always break somehow, at the buckle. All of which were 20-30$ decently nice leather belts.

I'm a 31" waist too so it's not like I'm bursting at the seams or something.

Buy higher quality belts. I have 4-5 belts than have lasted over 7 years. The key for me was to avoid fancy buckles of ANY kind. Standard is da bes.

Is it an issue with buying reversible belts in particular? Or have those lasted long for you too?

**AidenCarby** · 2014-12-30 10:03

I only end up using the black side anyway :/

Never bought one.

I have some nice leather belts but they started to come apart. the layers between the leather itself is separating.

so for everyday use i keep coming back to my simple cloth D-Ring belt. Cinch it tight, then flip the extra length around and under. That keeps it from coming undone.

Random fail, got rear ended on the highway. Not the fail, the fail is that I didn't get the insurance info. Going to dealership for a quote tomorrow since every other place is closed for new years. Going for cash settlement so can only hope the woman pays without hassle once I get the quote.
