My wife bought me it. I NEVER remember asking for it or saying at all that I wanted it.

Last I checked, my legs and arms were working and though difficult, I’m willing to call the pizzeria myself AND answer the door.

I’m even willing to change the thermostat on my own!! Like the pioneers!

It’s still in the corner. Better to lose 50 bucks than tell her I didn’t want one of her gifts.

I received one as a gift and gave it away. The whole notion makes me nervous. I can turn on my own lights, check my alarm clock, check the weather without George Jetson style help. I recently bought Apple TV and even that makes me a little uncomfortable. Of course I’m older, and to my horror I realize I’m adopting a mindset I used to sneer at in my not so long ago youth...never had it before, don’t need it now.

Exchange it for Amazon TV, you’ll be happier. The TV has Alexa available at the push of a button vs. always on and it will entertain you much better.

Alexa, order me a new Kimber.

Gee, I don’t know where it came from...
