      <description>&lt;P&gt;As usual, a pitiful assortment of $5 Points-Only GC's is all we get for completing the EC Lessons. Extra Regret-It, indeed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":sad_but_relieved_face:"&gt;😥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="5"&gt;Hey Gary! I was going to make a reply to your last month Extra Regret-It,..as you &amp;amp; Andrew &lt;a href="https://community.aarp.org/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4377605"&gt;@andrewtoo&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; I (&amp;amp; others) have a 'running joke' ...as well as we've been making our monthly pleas for something worthwhile...hoping against hope that it will finally get better! But it's been so disappointing ...for so long... that it's even harder to have enough energy to laugh...but we'll just have to trudge &amp;amp; sludge thru this mess until ..well...next month?? LOL! &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="5"&gt;Take care!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":peace_symbol:"&gt;☮️&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":beach_with_umbrella:"&gt;🏖&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":sailboat:"&gt;⛵&lt;/span&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT size="5"&gt;~Allen&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":rainbow:"&gt;🌈&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":desert_island:"&gt;🏝&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":canoe:"&gt;🛶&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The August Extra Regret-It "lessons" all worked this month and I think that was a super nice surprise.&amp;nbsp; However, the $5 one per person, limit 3 per month GC's still bum me out.&amp;nbsp; I'll keep coming back to this promotion but I'm&amp;nbsp;clearly underwhelmed.&amp;nbsp;I hear ya' &lt;a href="https://community.aarp.org/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3097501"&gt;@garyfish49&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; and &lt;a href="https://community.aarp.org/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2616819"&gt;@Therapist4u&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

I do hope the error free days will continue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now if only we can get the paltry 3 redemptions, one sponsor per month &amp;nbsp;changed it would make us all happy 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;lucyp&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The August EC anticipation has come and gone.
