I don't even know how to prevent it from happening again. I could explain to a fellow Galaxy user how I operate but i know Iphones are so incredibly different that I can't even place a phone call on one. My wife and daughter both have apples and they dont ever have to worry about me messing in their phones because I feel like a gorilla holding a graphing calculator when hold theirs to take a picture for them etc. Everything is backwards and in the wrong place. Apparently i need to go to my explorer every week or so and close all the tabs again. Will figure it out eventually. I never, ever use internet explorer because I made a shortcut on my homescreen to VN and have all the other stuff i use there too. So it seems like whenever i am closing VN, it is only closing the most recent tab from whatever thread and leaving all the previous tabs open even though I cant see them. So those add up pretty quickly 😆

Sounds like you're opening Samsung internet which allows multiple tabs/browers or opening new tabs somehow.

With the current "new" format and VN mobile, I dont even need to use the same link I have had on my homescreen forever right? Does anyone else here on a Samsung/android phone just have a VN icon on their homescreen? Is VN available in the app store? I will check it out when i upgrade soon. Other than the charger port starting to get worn out from thousands of uses, theres nothing wrong with this phone. I wish it charged cordlessly which is why i am gonna get a new one. This Galaxy9 has been great for 8 years though. Never had a single problem with it until the quoting posts issue and that was my fault.

Charles Barkley was great tonight on Manning Night Football. Hes just funny. Cowboys lose again 😆

Good trivia question:

Who was the leading scorer on the 92 Dream Team ..considered by many the best sports team ever assembled?

Jordan?
Bird?
Magic?
Drexler?
Stockton?
Malone?
Robinson?
Pippen?
Mullen?

Nope. It was Charles Barkley. He also led the team in rebounds AND shooting %.
Chuck was the most dominant player on a team full of HOF players.

My wife has had Samsung phones for several years, and I really do not like all the added junk, and the control/setting stuff just seems weird. My son recommended a Motorola when I had to give up my Pixel 3 a couple of years ago. The Motorola started dropping or not receiving calls which absolutely did not work for me when I wasn't in the same place as my wife. I looked around and decided on a Pixel 9A; it's a slightly stripped down version of the Pixel 9. Doesn't have the huge camera hump, has fantastic battery life, and doesn't have all the junk Samsung, Motorola, and probably others add to the phone. You can get unlocked phones from Amazon among other places, pull the SIM card out of the current phone, plug it into the new one, and you are good to go. I'm not real fond of Google, but I think any phone from here on out will be a Pixel based on the two I've had. The wife does not like her current Samsung phone at all.

On the tab thing. I found that every time I scrolled down through the "news" feed and clicked it opened a new browser tab that never closed. That didn't happen in the past - probably a new "feature" rather than a programming bug.

old man yells at clouds moment incoming.

concert prices have gotten ridiculous. I used to go to several every year, but its just gotten so dang expensive. I feel like even bands I really like aren't worth the money.

Florence and the Machine is one of my favorite bands and she is coming to Atlanta next year and wants 300 to get in the door. we are going to wait to see if the price drops, if not we just won't go. I have seen her twice before, so its not like I have any great reason.

Paul Macartney is in town and the cheap seats there are 400. that makes sense because this is his last tour and he was a Beatle as well as a great artist on his own.

we saw CAAMP this year and that cost 150 per general admissions.

I just hate that you can't really just have a weekend to fill, hear about some decent act is in town, pick up some tickets, and go. you have to prep and save. I can't help but think what else I could do with 300 or 600, for 2. takes the fun out of it.

IDK about the Atlanta area but when tickets go on sale for concert in Nashville they’re sold out within minutes. No way that it’s actually people buying up all the tickets that quickly.

So, what you're saying is that Freak's number of active users on VolNation is about to take a serious nosedive now that you're no longer logged in over 5,500 times?

Bladder cancer. They got it the first time in 2016, but it has a high rate of reoccurrance.
