Email service providers input

My email that I've had for years may have been perma ****** by my provider. Might have to go to a new provider and reestablish that email as my POC. What a pain in the ass that will be, likely at least 40 businesses and agencies without even getting into the personal contacts. It feels like someone has stolen the equivalent of a file folder full of important papers.

So looking at the ubiquitous gmail or similar. What do you peeps recommend? It's been so long with current provider that any experiences I have with others is crazy outdated.

Background: I can get into the acct but my prime email just generates an error and will not load. I can open and access two secondary accts, so weird. If these ******* really did lose my main acct I'm not just opening another email with them. Save the suggestions to change password, reboot, clear your cache, try another computer, try another browser, try your cell phone etc. Had to go through all of that on the phone with a tech before I could get her to push it over to security to try and find my emails. She was nice but really didn't know anymore about this than I did, maybe less so had to go through all of the stuff with her again. I get they are there to help people with simple stuff that the end user has ****** up so I was nice to her. She said security peeps would fix it by morning and she'd call me back. They did not and neither did she.

What supplements do you take?

The drinking thread got me to thinking about my overall health and wellness. I currently take a multi-vitamin, fish oil, and recently started taking magnesium as I struggle with anxiety and have read it can help with that. I've been thinking about also adding in a vitamin D supplement but haven't done that yet. Are there others out there that could be beneficial? I'm not talking prescription diet pill crap you see in Requiem for a Dream that get you addicted, but more natural supplements.

Cyclone footballers are healing up from the first 7 games during bye week, while prepping themselves for a bowl berth quest.
  1. They need 3 wins to gain a bowl birth though, but is that even possible on the heels of a 4 heartbreaking defeats?
  2. With 3 of the final 5 games at The Jack, and the injury list dwindling, are you optimistic about going bowling for a 6th consecutive year?
  3. Which 3 games are must wins if they are to clinch a bowl berth?

Here's what Tyrese had to say about his decision today in Kansas City.

Survivor 43

Sorry for the delay in opening a new thread for the season. I just finally am caught up to the current episode as our kids have had something going on nearly every night lately so the DVR is full of content right now.

Initial thoughts/takes:

- My favorite cast members right now are Cody (originally from Iowa) and Gabler. That being said would not shock me if either make it too much farther because their tribes at the moment seem a little annoyed at both.
- My 2 least favorite at the moment are Geo and Karla. Both have a bit of "snotty" personalities at times and aren't shy about admitting they think they are calling the shots. Too early to play that hard IMO, gotta make it to the merge first and with smaller tribe numbers doesn't take much to rub someone the wrong way and get voted out by just 3 people.
- First 2 people voted out did not surprise me but wish Nneka and Lindsay would have hung around more.
- Too early for me to get a read on how this cast stacks up to other seasons but so far has been interesting and the gameplay has been OK. Found it funny that last week that the Vesi tribe went cutthroat against Coco and not only tried to hurt them with the steal an item from camp reward they got but then helped Baka solve the puzzle so they had to finally go to tribal. Coco was butthurt about it but it's a cutthroat game and good strategy as you don't want to go into a tribe mix up or merge with 1 tribe having a significant advantage in numbers.

Interested to hear everyone's thoughts. I just have not gotten too into this season quite yet due to my busy schedule and probably be a day or 2 behind getting to watch the upcoming episodes since we have things going on Wednesday nights right now so I have intentionally not commented on this season yet so I didn't happen to see a spoiler.
