Off Topic, your username, do you work for a certain building company whose name starts with a C? Just one of the guys there used something quite close for his email??

Nope, I think you might have asked me that before, despite the username I also don't work in a test department, which I think you were aiming at before too? Great minds I guess!

I opened my account on Robinhood, but hesitated to use its app Plaid to fetch my fund directly from my bank account.
I concerned how this app Plaid can keep secure session into my bank account.
any experience to share on this Plaid app?

I think you are on the right track.
I received a note from a doctor I had seen 15 years ago saying my SSN, name, b-day, etc had all been compromised.
I received another note from a mortgage holding company that had sold my loan to another company 12 years ago along the same lines.
Expect any info you share to be compromised, maybe much later.

About 4 years ago, I received a letter from the IRS telling me that someone had filed a false tax report. claiming a large refund, under my SSN. Seems that, in that instance, someone in the healthcare industry had sold some 50,000 SSN's. No damage done, but lesson learned. I don't do anything involving money with an app. Unfortunately, the bank now has only one of 6 teller windows personed when I go. They keep trying to tell me I should use a debit card to sign in and their App to do banking. I tell them I listened to Frank Abagnale and got rid of mine. My grandchildren shake their heads when they look at me.

Went and had Cataract surgery on my left eye a few days ago and it's amazing, it opened up a whole new world, well at least 50% of it.
My problem is that I found my SO has 6 toes on her left foot.
I'm due to have the right eye done in 10 days, what else will it expose?
Seriously, it's amazing the difference it has made, after so many years of blah colors and crappy eyesight it is like going from B&W TV to color. Yeah a lot of you wouldn't know about B&W TV, 19" Console's were the cutting edge in the day. Now I go to Wallly World and they're selling 70" or so such.

I recall B&W TV and watching Hans Conried's "Fractured Flickers" every week which I most enjoyed also because Mother would make tasty little sandwiches for each week's program also a few years later I recall asking the telephone repair man! if our new phone will be dial or the new fangled push button. - Best

Yep, remember that well.
When my family moved to Arizona in 1959 I saw a billboard on the side of the road. It was a teenage girl lying on the floor with her legs up on the bed and on the phone with the caption; "Buy a ding-a-ling for your ding-a-ling" Wouldn't get away with that these days!

I've got a cataract creeping into my right eye. Very annoying, I keep wanting to clean the gunk off my glasses.
What was the surgery like?

I had stints put in for glaucoma also, but whole thing took about 15 mins. it was a little uncomfortable because you have to lie still but they keep you relaxed so it's not bad at all.

I had cataract surgery on my right eye on my 64th birthday. I'm 72 now. The doctor put in a long-distance lens, as my left eye could focus just fine. My vision went to 20/15 (things 20 feet away look like they're 15 feet away).
The surgery was painless, done in a same day surgery unit, and I went home that afternoon.
I knew I needed it when I couldn't read the date window on my wristwatch.
Now, my left eye is going the same way and I need to go see the eye surgeon, to get checked out.
If you think you need it, get checked out and have it done. the results are terrific.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes - a couple years apart. I had fancy Alcon PanOptix multifocal lens installed.
No more glasses! Near, mid or far - it's all good!
The only con is small coronas around lights at night.

It's probably the fastest "reward" surgery you can get - almost immediate improvement apparently.
An elderly neighbour had it done and could see clearly for the first time in years before she got home. It continued to improve for a couple of days as well. The important thing was to remember the post op eyedrops to keep infection at bay.
I had to do them for her three times a day because her hands shook too much to get them in there!

I have to take 3 drops 4 times a day for a month...because eyes are done 2 weeks apart. Plus glucoma drops 2ce a day. Plus artificial tears many times a day.
Getting old ain't for sissies!

30 years ago we didn't have facebook and you would be going blind.
Now we have facebook and you wish you were going blind.
