Oh, sis, I know what you mean! I'm having tech troubles, too. My phone does weird stuff...tells me I have a message and there is no new message, etc. I have to get a newer one, too. And I got a warning from google that my storage is almost gone. I'm trying to figure out how to download emails to my hard drive. They want me to pay for google workspace. For that you gotta have a domain name. I don't have that except for FB. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThis tech stuff really helps us, if we can understand it at our age.
So hot and humid outside...second day. A/C is on already and the box fan in the bedroom. The A/C is just a window unit that doesn't reach the bedroom and bathroom.
You said you had to get Himself. Is he at his program?
Not much going on here in the household or building. Except that my hall light went out. It's in front of the closet where I house Lucky's potty box. I'm gonna hafta get a flashlight to clean it. Our maintenance man retired, and I don't want our office manager or another resident to be climbing on a ladder to do it.
Better get to it. Then it's lunch and get down with Lucky.
Now that your phone is ok, hope the rest of the day for all of you proceeds smoothly.
Oh, I saved that first meme! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
I ordered an I- Phone 11--$600 for that!--Terrible eh?--The I-Phone 8-- that I now have will not hold the charge-This was a VERY hot day today--=AC still on --Matt in Montreal tonite--the Sweden tomorrow nite--It was quite a day but it turned out well--Hugs Maggie--Lynda
DeleteNow that’s a nice dream … a man cleaning the house while you sleep!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your phone went kaput, but glad you were able to get it turned off and hopefully have a new one.
Hot and humid here, so just trying to stay cool and hydrated. So far so good!
Hope Himself had a good day @ the Lodge!
Hugs and blessings

Barb--VERY hot day here to-day--I ordered an I-phone 11 -pick it up Thursday--=Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, it's Kathy. I'm so sorry you had technological issues last night. That's really the worst. I think a lot about my mom in her last few years. My dad was semi-technological savvy but he didn't understand a lot of how it worked. Like when I told him he had to go to the "Start" menu to shut down. No, Kathy, he'd say. I don't want to start, I want to stop! But he could program the VCR. My poor mom had to ask anyone who came to visit to set up her shows for her! I didn't give her credit - now I do. I sometimes can't make my TV work if my husband isn't home! I hope you have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy--so much technology---i did not want a new phone--but--an 8 is not holding the charge--Lynda
DeleteI'm not sure exactly what age it was at for me, or what it might be for the next generation, but there comes a point where you don't care to learn new technology just to learn new technology because you have WORK to do, and you KNEW how to do it on the old tech, and the learning curve for the new is just another obstacle to GETTING SOMETHING DONE!
ReplyDeleteI think I was in my 40's when it hit me. But I can't guarantee that to be true. Still learning, and more enthusiastic about it now that I retired from the job with the deadlines and all that.
Hope that if you *do* end up getting a newer generation of phone the learning curve is gentle with you!
Oh Barb--I ordered an I-Phone 11--and I know I will hate it--Ill ask my Grandkids I guess--- The problem in life now is--- way too much technology--Hugs Barb--Lynda
DeleteHad to laugh at the phone - sounds like something that would happen to me. I probably should get a newer phone but just don't want to go to the trouble of figuring it out. Yesterday my TV wouldn't work so I figured that it was the remote which needs to be charged (no batteries). No luck. So I tried googling it and they suggested to unplug it, hold the one button for 15 seconds and then wait 30 seconds to plug it back it. Took me a loooong time to find the on button which was hidden, and it actually worked. Only problem was I had to get down on the floor to reach behind to unplug it. The challenge was to get back up. As you said above, old age ain't no place for sissies.
ReplyDeleteMen are here today tearing out the old tub and putting in a walk in shower. Oh what a mess it is - more dust and dirt than I will ever get cleaned up. I was having trouble stepping over the side of the old tub so it was time. What was that about old age and sissies??
Have a great evening - Dot
Dot--good to hear from yu-- A walk in shower--a dream eh?--- Yes I get my I- Phone 11 next week--and it will drive me crazy--The 8 is working now ---but will not hold the charge----All this technology stuff is mind boggling isn't it--but--ask a kid-=-any kid, and they love to help us-- Hugs Dot-- Hang in here--Lynda
DeleteOh gosh, how frustrating with phone. Glad it's working now. I got a new phone in January as my old phone was 6 or 7yrs.
ReplyDeleteLearning the new phone was miserable for a while but I've got it now.
It's horribly hot 99F. 102 tomorrow but hot is hot.
Have a great evening. Stay positive, healthy, strong and cool.
Hugs
Marge/St.Louis
Marge -so hot here to-day--Yes I ordered an I phone 11--If I go up too high I won't be able to handle it-AC still on at 9pm -Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: I know what you mean about phones and technology in general. I am totally hopeless. I .have an iphone 13 now and still have issues. But 8 is kind of old now. Probably about time for a newer one. Hear the pilots may strike around mid Sept. Hope you're still getting the warmer weather which sounds like maybe we will have through the long weekend. Have a good night. Brenda
ReplyDeleteYes Air Canada Pilots want more money-- They say all the "big wigs" get the money--and the Pilots do all the work--Hot hot hot here-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! Technical difficulties are quite frustrating! Happy all is working now. Sadie was in Ohio today. No man cleaned. LOL Enjoy your evening! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteNo man cleaned??--- Yu mean "HE" didn't clean so yu could go back to bed??--Here neither-- Sad eh??--Lynda
