I all but hate the phone. Long winded people are the one thing that will make me lie. Phones are good for 3 things- vet/ hair appointments, ordering dinner, & I’m runnin late. LOL Oh & getting DH to pick stuff up on his way home.
Getting older is murder. I’m not in pain, but my fingers don’t work the way they used to, though. And do our fingerprints just get smooth or what? I can’t turn a page without monumental effort. It’s very annoying.
Kindles are much easier to read, physically, than books. But the ‘’convenience’’ features are really more of a nuisance than a help. I’m constantly losing my place & unable to get back to where I was or enlarging the type by accident or causing one of those ‘helpful little features’ to appear unbidden.
I probably need to read the instructions again (which didn’t work the first time, but whatever)
This is myyyy. . . fifth laptop- 2 Compaqs & 3 Macs. This one is my least favorite. It’s the stupid ‘’gestures’’.
I recently had my MacBook repaired & as soon as I get my pictures & recipes off of it, I’m going to switch back. This poor thing has been drowned twice, so I have to use an external keyboard, which is really a pain.
When both computers give out, that will be the end for me & the internet, probably. Unless something changes for the better with the new ones, I won’t be getting one. That ‘’one more stroke spoils the painting’’ has happened.
LOL My ‘’smart phone’’ is in the nightstand drawer. I went back to a flip phone. I still haven’t figured out the punctuation to text, but I CAN see the numbers on the buttons.
LOL What did we do before Amazon?
It’s incredible to me that people take all kinds of pills & put up with all kinds of side effects when a heating pad works so well. And my back sent me to the ER, close to tears, several times before I figured that out. The last 3 or 4 bottles of Tylenol we’ve had got thrown out when they were still nearly full.
They’re certainly excellent when it’s cold.
I keep developing all these Can’t be fixed health issues. Just got told Monday I have severe Dry Eyes, strange didn’t have it before cataract surgery. Even if I spent the day reading. Seeing the Kindle screen is a big issue for me, I can by large print books. My fingers don’t work well due to the arthritis, had to give up my contacts because I could no longer remove them. Now I’m in a no line trifocals, with much of the reader the 12 inches away eliminated. I buy the best Ziess lenses as they have the widest middle distance of any of the brands. Plus they make the lens for the Hubble Telescope.
I moved to the Samsung Note 3 because I could blow up the fonts. The last flip phone took a dunk in the toilet after falling out of the to shallow jeans pockets they put in women’s jeans. I now buy mostly men’s for the deeper pockets. Plus better waist and length fit.
I’m the side effect queen, most pills go in the trash after just a few. It is pure bologna that the side effects will go away in a couple of months. I’m living proof they don’t, they just get worse.
2 highly recommended books. The first is the best Amazon will have them at a reasonable cost.
