A bit of research on Forsizo and Tyr.  Here is what I put on Vaygar’s page:
“Okay, Tyr; many see him as the god of the Thing, as the god of law. I argue against that. IMO, Tyr is the ENFORCER of the law. It is Forseti who is the god of the Thing, as the god who determines the right or wrong of arguments. HE is the determiner of the law. HE is the god of justice. HE is the judge. HE is the god of the Thing. TYR is the enforcer of whatever Forseti decides. The two work together as judge and enforcer of the law.”
A comment:
Completely agree, as a matter of fact, Forseti means "He who presides", in other words, President, or Chairman

Ya know, as much as I support the Democrats in the House holding their impeachment inquiry, it’s JUST FRUSTRATING as Hela!  The Dems make their points, and the Pachyderms attack and attack and attack.  ARGH!  I am GREATLY anticipating the trial in the Senate.  Chief Justice Roberts will be presiding, so I’m hoping for a great deal of civility.  The impeachment will no doubt sail thru the House, because of the Democrat majority, but will probably fail in the Senate with a Pachyderm majority.  I DO NOT understand how the FUCKING FOOLISH Pachyderms can so adamantly, blindly and vehemently support the Dumpster.  He is everything that is SO anti-presidential.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Wodanstag) Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!

Back to the Boost Mobile store. 
*Yes, open, but didn’t have what I needed.  It took a customer to pull something out of car to give me what I needed.  I asked him, “How might I repay your kindness?”  His response was a handshake and “Thank you for your service.”
While waiting at the Boost Store, I purposed to report this store for their failures (yes, plural).  I found out that one icon on my phone was useless.  I downloaded the proper icon that for some reason was deleted.  With the proper on my phone, I proceeded to contact someone on the other end to voice my frustrations.  I was assured that my complaint was going to be taken to the higher level and something would be done about it.  It would be nice if Boost contacted me telling me what they did do.  We shall see what we shall see.

I want to mention how I came to call Saturday, Tag der Fruchtbarkeit.
Mon-Fri and then Sun can be attributed to a Norse deity.  My origins within Heathenry said that Saturday was named after an obscure god/dess, Saeter, but, right or wrong, I fully came to believe this was a concoction of the AFA (Asatru Folk Assembly); hence, I had a problem relating to this.  Further, I knew that Saturday is also known as “Laugardagr” which mean “wash day” in Norse.  I believe this was a later invention during some Norse language shift https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/laugardagr.  SO, we know this day here in America as Saturday.  According to the Greek/Romans, it was “Saturn’s Day.”  Saturn, among other things, is the god of fertility https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/saturn/ https://www.britannica.com/topic/Saturn-god.
Within my Heathen belief system, Friday is troubling because of Frigg (Frija), Freya (Frouwa) and Freyr (Ing-Fro).  There are many who choose to recognize Freya on Friday, totally leaving out Freyr.  I choose to recognize Frigg, the All-Mother on Friday because of these links:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/friggatriskaidekaphobia
http://skepdic.com/friggatriskaidekaphobia.html
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/friday-the-13th-friggatriskaidekaphobia_n_59e0e583e4b0a52aca178c4e
That, however. leaves out two important Norse deities, Freya and Freyr.  Understand, too, many gods and goddesses of the Vanir are nature deities.  With the understanding that Saturn is a god of fertility, and Freya, along with Freyr, are equally fertility deities, it just makes sense to me to call Saturday, Day of Fertility (Tag der Fruchtbarkeit auf Deutsch).  Granted, this is a/an UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis) but it’s MY personal gnosis.  I OWN IT, AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT!  I’M STICKING WITH IT!
