Believe it or not, but I find Costcos Kirkland brand to have the best solid white tuna.

Robb, we had our landline and cell bill tied with Verizon for a billing discount.
They decided that as long as we had them tied we couldn't upgrade our cell service.
We also had a landline service from comcast as part of a bundle.
So trying not to be disagreeable, I simply said "ok cancel the landline service!" to Verizon which they did.
Eazy peazy.

What really dawned on me was that I could take the money that I have been spending on the landline and put it towards a storage garage and then add another car to my fleet.

Apparently it is made by Bumble Bee.

interesting, I have bought Bumble Bee there too and find Kirkland to be lighter, dryer and less fishy tasting.

That is interesting. As far as the fishy smell my friends who work in the restaurant business always say that fish should not have a fishy smell that fresh fish actually has a neutral odor. The subject came up a while back when we were discussing a restaraunt that always reeked of fish on days that they served it. That discusion made me think of the tuna which of course isn't fresh but I have noticed has a much stronger odor than it used to.

Robb, you can also et a psuedo land line from cable, typically for a lot less.

We still have the land line through Xfinity/Comcast. Getting rid of it won't save us anything, part of the bundle, and Rick prefers the land line over the cell.

We've been about 5 years without a land line now and haven't missed it at all. It had already reached the point where anyone who needed to contact us was already calling our mobiles so it made sense to get rid of it.
