Flashing phone

In plain English.it means your screen flashes. Slang...it means you upgraded.
Mine is flashing like a strobe.
Printed licenses this year guys.
Can't trust the device.

We were very close to buying another phone.
I'm past due on an upgrade to an S22.
Got the wild idea of changing the settings to make it less sharp. Lowered the settings and It stopped flashing.
Doing it was hard. Phone was strobing but still worked so I assumed I had the settings too high.
I may still get another phone.
These days if my phone shits Mr green jeans starts writing. It starts with "no hunting license" and I wind up in jail needing a bail bondsman.
Print the license I guess.

I've never Not gotten a printed license. Half of the places I hunt have little or no reception on a cell phone. This year, I I hit 65, so no more buying hunting or fishing licenses. All I need is a Reef Fishing Endorsement ($10), for the few Snapper trips I go on, a Federal Duck Stamp ($28 this year I think?), and register on the Saltwater Angler Registry (free). Feels like I'm cheating :lol:

What we all do is screen shot the license. Makes it ez to pull up from gallery.
For me to get it printed means risks.
Suppose you bought a license that's $200 then broke down in Missouri.
Them two Benjamins might come in handy.
I buy my license at mallard lake on the edge of a cellular black hole.
Lately however I get spotty signal at 7 mile.
Might be better soon enough.
Put my settings on low quality on screen and the strobing went away. The internet says aito-brighness has to be off.
The last place you ever want to go is the Walmart in Blytheville, Arkansas. It's a wee bit shady. ( but im the slim shady)Even worse than here. Very high crime. To get a printed license you end up there. :?

killed it.
The phone got knocked off from a very great height onto a concrete floor. 'bout 3 feet. clunk and oh no...crying noises.
The otterbox let me down. screen is all forked up.
Luckily I got my passwords all straight about a week ago AND backed up the app gaming stuff or you would all suffer!
:tk: :clap:
What the hell else can go wrong?
I read that thread about bad luck and...hehe it's not funny man.
but its hilarious :popcorn:
If you have troubles to compare spill it. Could use a laff. :duck:
I swear I'll bounce back and take it out on the mallards.

On the bright side my wife keeps getting tested for cancer and keeps coming up clean. That's what matters.
Everything else is just stormy weather. 8-)

Was bummed until i had to think a minute. How am I going to inform the wife that we're disconnected? Took me a while to remember the laptop. was like "no way this is going to work".
I'm connected to my spy camera and everything. Tracking a mower that hasnt shipped yet and it's not doom and gloom.
For a minute there... dogs were hiding anyway. Not sure if I'll get a new screen or phone. I guess Verizon can decide. I'm no phone technician. I break em and get em wet

This is new to me.
Type C on both ends.
Usually it's USB on one end.
New style of charging blocks?
Toss the old ones?
