    I don't see the point to answering political spam calls. (I finally got caller id) Who does it help? It ain't over till it's over.

    It is not political spam calls, @Mary Stetler .
    What I do is fill out survey questionnaires on all kinds of topics and products. There are several survey companies that I belong to, and you get points each time you finish a survey.
    Some surveys pay more points than others, depending on the topic and how long they are, but you can save up the points and then cash them in for rewards, like Amazon gift cards, which is what I usually get with mine.
    I also have gotten Walmart GC , Home Depot GC, and Lowes GC , and it gives me something interesting to do in the mornings when I am drinking my morning coffee and sitting around in my nightgown.

    Some survey companies also do online video/phone surveys.
    I am signed up for one of those next week and it pays $75 for the first hour, and if I am selected for the second half, then it pays that much for it, too. It is about people with heart failure, like me, so I always find those surveys really interesting and informative. It will probably be kind of like a Zoom call with several people participating.

    Capt. Kirk, Jr.

    I don't like it when people change avatars...it disrupts the connection.

    I didn't want to say anything, but now that you mention it, I may change back.

    I'm on another forum that currently has over 5,900 random-name Members on line. I don't know how those people keep track of who is who...perhaps they're just faking it.

    I was at Walmart and had a scanning issue. The young girl came by to help and we were looking that the pic from the camera behind my shoulder. "That's a different register. That guy has a bald spot!!" She giggled.

    As Yvonne wrote, not till Tuesday this next week.

    Not to swing the thread off topic but even after the election and when the dust has settled and let’s just say that if there really is a “red wave”, this present Congress is still in power until Jan. 3rd.
    That means that Congress still has 2 months to play with our money and lives and 2 months of an unfettered Presidential pen and phone.
    That also means they have 2 months to jam what would have been 2 years worth of crap in the basket, 2 months to set up road blocks, hide files, create mayhem and assure the American people that the new Congress will be too buried in bureaucratic crap to do their jobs for at least 6 months or so.

    I recognize your avatar because the only thing different is your hair.

    Yes ! For the first time ever, I voted absentee/mail-in ballot. I just chose not to trust my arthritis on election day. When it [arthritis] is at it's worse it is just so painfull to even move. And that walk across the parking lot is long. And this election above almost all others is very important to me.

    How would a person know if the "network does not belong?" Our polling location is the local community center and I know they have WiFi, plus it's surrounded by private residences.

    I normally name my Hotspot network "Fish Market" but I might change it to "Election Hacking" or something and go hang around the polling place for a while.

    My understanding is that if you check available Wifi before you go in, and then there is another, different one showing up once you are actually at the polling place, and it does not show before you got there, then it is possible that the voting stations are connected to the internet.
    I am not sure if it would be so sensitive that it would pick up a different Wifi inside than outside; but it can’t hurt to check.
