You mentioned the ads popping up. Recently hubby and I were talking about buying new flooring and now all of a sudden we're seeing ads for flooring on our phones and PC. No we do not have Alexa or anything like that (that we know of - although we did just buy a new flat screen smart TV) It wouldn't surprise me in the least if we were to find out our TV is listening to us. It probably wouldn't do any good to speak in a foreign language since it probably knows those better than any we know, except maybe pig latin.

You made a good decision. I didn’t get a lock box but I might look into it I really feel much freer with my pendant.

I'm the geezer that told you to not take delivery on your couch. Here's another piece of fun advice: when filling out information online just to get to what you're looking for, don't put in your correct phone number when they ask for it. I put in my phone number from when I was 12 years old; once in a while I feel bad for the person that has that number, but not very often. I also have an email address that has my ex's name on it and that's the email I always use when filling out any form online. I check it every few days; you never know when you might have something interesting there but it gathers more Spam than anything else. You're welcome😆

Thank you. You saved me. I used to give a wrong phone number to guys who were bugging me for my number, but I didn't think about doing that online. Not a bad idea. I do have an email that I only check once a week, that I don't really use. I give that out sometimes.

Your house, your rules. Thankfully so far there's no internet police checking every keystroke!

So I looked at this watch, it looks like you have to pay a monthly subscription? It does what the Apple Watch does, and may be cheaper, except for that subscription.

You can pay monthly, quarterly, or annually, but yes, you pay for the device and also for the service. It's like insurance. Maybe you won't push the panic button this month, but there are folks who will answer the call if you do.
