Time to buy a copy of iPhone for Dummies.

Nah, iPhones are like having sex. Poke things until you get what you want.

(congrats!)

Oh, this brings up a good point: since the topic of older refurbished phones has come up, don't buy a phone with only 16 gig of memory. The operating system would consume virtually all of that, leaving no room for anything else. Get at least 32. Since you say you won't be using the phone for much, that should cover it. Obviously, the more memory, the more room for videos, music, apps, etc., should you ever venture into that stuff.

Yep. Always get the most memory you can.

In addition to storing those videos you never thought you’d have, it buys more time before you need the inevitable upgrade JUST for more memory.

Upgraded from 7 plus to XS Max only because I was phone-shamed by a friend with an X a couple of weeks ago. Peer pressure...

 

Love it! Screen is great. I was skeptical about the facial recognition (what's wrong with finger print???) but love it now.

 

Jump out of shower, wet finger didn't work but wet hair not a problem with new phone.

I was in the camp that was skeptical of facial recognition but took about 2 minutes to decide this is the way things ought to be. In fact, iPhone X solved almost every gripe about the 6+ I had before.

That said, I’ll skip upgrades for a couple of models, as is my usual practice.

Hold your ground on Ryan Reynolds. It’s the closest any of us will come to sleeping with him.

Actually, most dog trainers will tell you to stick with two-syllable names because the rhythm of it makes training easier. (RYAN! SIT! ... works for me.)

(Don’t get me started on “RYAN! COME!)

I had the iPhone 6+ and upgraded to iPhone X. Couldn’t be happier.

I always thought the 6+ was too big. Overall screen size makes the X a good compromise.

I don’t even try.

But I haven’t really listened to anything popular since 1974 or so.

Sex can be messy. What do you do to protect the sheets? I put a couple of old sheets on top of the bed and use a towel for any fucking.

This is why I prefer using a hotel room. Let housekeeping worry about it.

(And I sorta feel that way about eating in a restaurant. Let someone else do the dishes!)

ADMIN NOTE: GENTLEMEN (and the rest of you): KEEP THE POLITICS IN THE POLITICS FORUM.

It's not an issue of teaching the bird to say these phrases.

And not just phrases. They’re amazing imitators.

A friend inherited her mother’s parrot while she was fostering a litter of VERY rowdy Labrador puppies. One day the bird tired of the commotion and yelled “dinner!” and imitated the sound of kibble pouring in metal food bowls. The pups took off for the kitchen and the bird enjoyed some solitude.

I do both. How hard is it to get a polo shirt that fits?

I actually often have trouble finding jeans or trousers in stores since most retailers only carry 29, 30, and 31” inseams. Ordering online lets me get what I need.

I’ll still go to a store for a suit, but I’ll admit some part of the attraction is having a cute salesman up close and personal measuring me because curiously I can never remember my size in those situations.

How about pasta and steak?

One of the best steak houses I’ve been to was in Omaha. Every steak came with a side of spaghetti with marinara.

I have. Enjoyed the heck out of him the first time and lamented that his ads had disappeared. When new ads with different name and pics appeared I didn’t make the connection until I opened the door. His face lit up as much as mine.

But that’s the only time.

A friend in LA is an avid tomato grower. He lost most of this year’s crop during the excessive heat. They became water balloons on the vine, stewed in place.

To answer the subject of thread, the law ATTEMPTS to define sex but never really can.

I once had an intense cuddle session with a college baseball player for several hours. We were tremendously relieved but I’m pretty sure none of it fit any legal definition of sex.

Went to a taping of Bonnie Hunt’s long ago cancelled show. The show opener always said “hot dog and root beer on us”. On the way in they handed everyone a ballpark hot dog and cold root beer!

My timing as always was a day late and a dollar short. The guest the day before was Carol Burnett. Missed it by THIS much. I got to see some stars of shows I’d never seen.

It was entertaining and free, but I wouldn’t stand in line for it.

If I start a new topic/thread, then change my mind, can I delete it? Even if not one reply or like on my initial message?

Give it a try and let us know.

To my knowledge we haven’t actually tested this.

I just received an email from a person I don't know saying that he knows I have visited certain websites and that he has been able to crack my facebook and other contacts. He says he has been able to access my webcam and has videos of me visiting these sites. I am to send him 1000 in bitcoin in 24 hours or he will release all this to all my contacts. I am quite closeted and such a thing would be awful.

The english of the message is very poor. He says police will not be able to trace it to him. Has anyone experience with this kind of thing and do you have any advice?

I’ve received similar emails.

I do not have a web cam.

NEXT.

If we had a county fair in the county in which I grew up, or in the two urban counties (New York and Philadelphia) in which I lived most of my adult life, I was never aware of it. We do have a big and apparently well-attended fair here in Riverside County, but I have never been to it.

I grew up in flyover country as well, in the county seat so the county fair was local.

We always enjoyed the general hubbub of the rides, the food, the crowds. The lemon shakeup!

Of course the county fair happens in the dog days of summer so a lot of the male participants are shirtless. The community is also home to a Big 10 universty populated with around 90,000 students. They show up too. Also joyously frolicking shirtless.

It’s worth the price of admission.

Gentlemen, there is a foruum for politics. This isn’t it.

It would never occur to me to take pasta to a baseball game, but I've shown up to family picnics with a smoked (over hickory) brisket.

Now more than ever, actually.

I was down to almost never for a while, then I moved. I've written more checks since the move than probably in the previous 10 years combined.

MOST of my regular bills are electronically paid. (phone, CATV, utilities, mortgage, etc.) Some don't work out so well (trash) so they get checks. I've currently got some renovations being done to the house so add checks for each contractor passing through.

Coincidentally, I've also used more postage stamps in the last year than the previous 10 years.
