Not enough iCloud storage

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44721) • Staten Island, New York 16 Dec

My iPhone hasn’t been backed up in weeks because I don’t have enough iCloud storage. I’m told to upgrade iCloud for 99¢ per month or get rid of stuff to free up space. I know it’s not expensive to pay that much a month but I still...

Wrong label on meat

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44721) • Staten Island, New York 26 Nov

I love (bone-in) lamb shoulder chops. I usually fry them in a cast iron skillet. They cook in under eight minutes and are so good. I pair them with couscous or bulgur. Sometimes I do baked sweet potatoes or regular potatoes...

Butter recall

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44721) • Staten Island, New York 24 Nov

Costco had to recall its Kirkland butter because it did not have on its packaging that it contains milk. Apparently including milk in the ingredients list is not enough. A product has to have the phrase “contains milk.” I wonder...

I logged on to my mom’s gas account online. It no longer says to pay $129.02 that I never paid because of the estimate reading issue. Instead, I see a credit of $246.29. Won’t know exactly why the credit amount is this much until...

A dead person getting a juror questionnaire

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44721) • Staten Island, New York 3 Nov

My dad has been gone for about 2.5 years and yet he recently received a juror questionnaire. Granted he passed away in NJ and not NY where he lived but still. That shouldn’t matter. They should be aware that he...
