stay put in the house you have now that's almost paid off.
Pray about it, don't make any rash decissions.
And in the meantime (space permitting) buy wifey one of these:


When I was a kid we had one of those but it was only about 1/3rd the size of that one, and one day my friend tried to climb out by going over the wall instead of using the ladder and the whole thing collapsed and all the water flooded the backyard in like 2 seconds :ROFL: I'm sure they're probably built better now.

I’m used to seeing advertisements for eye glasses and clothing on that site, but this is the first time EVER I saw an advertisement for First Watch restaurant on that site and the day after we were talking about it over the phone. Coincidence? :eek:
Yes they are listening to you for "key words/phrases." This technology has been used for quite some time. It isn't just the Service Providers that are listening either. The U.S. Government has a list of "key words/phrases" that when spoken on your phone will "trigger a recording" of your conversation and be reported to/reviewed by the Government "sniffers" whose job it is to review and assess such conversations. They actually have used this to identify potential terrorist suspects/attacks in the past.

People need to know that BIG BROTHER is ALWAYS listening/reading, ALWAYS! I say that because this same technology is used to monitor your comments on the Internet, to include your Private Emails.

Many of us are taping our camera eyes ever since some of the top tech guys said they were. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my Zoom pic the other night, then realized I had tape over the camera, lol.

I tape my laptop all the time, and turn off my phone camera until I want to use it

I started watching a documentary last night on whaling and dolphin capture someplace in Japan...
as soon as anyone arrives at this place, the police start following you around... they don't want to be
filmed or have pics taken of their operations (since they are breaking international codes of conduct)
and even the televisions in people's hotel rooms are set up to spy on you and track your every move
/record your every word. They slaughter dolphins because they claim the dolphins are responsible
for lowered tuna amounts, when the reality is, tuna is a multi billion dollar industry and humans
overfish. Oh, yeah, and they also still fin sharks and dump them back in the ocean to die :oops::censored:

Taping the camera is good because then I don’t have to fix my hair and put on makeup before early Teams meetings.

Oh yum thankyou Magenta. I bet it tastes really nice. I have heard on the cooking shows using bacon on sweet dishes.
Are you up late tonight Magenta?
It is 9:30 PM here... and I have been staying up later more recently, certainly not going to bed totally knackered at 7 PM like I was for a while :D I just got off the phone with my daughter a little while ago: almost an hour and a half! Well, I don't see her any more; we do talk and message often... I want to find something fun to watch on Netflix :D I saw Manhattan Murder Mystery today... that was a Woody Allen movie with Diane Keaton and Alan Alda (and Woody too, of course) :) It was very amusing, and may be one of his better movies :D

Oh! Her household was vaccinated today because her grand dad is 98 ;) ... 99 later this month :D

I saw a Diane Keaton movie the other day with Jack Nicholson. It was a love story. it was quiet a good movie. Something has got to give I think it was called.
Mrs Doubtfire is always a good laugh. I have been watching the Voice Holland lately on you tube. They have alot of good singers there. I have been enjoying it. I am trying to find something to watch tonight lol.

Wow, 98 that is a good age. I knew a man who was 94 and still driving. He had little to no health complaints. His secret was drink more champagne and save water lol.

I remember that movie :) It was a good one :D Diane Keaton has made some very good film role choices... My daughter really likes The Voice. I always preferred American Idol and America and Britain's Got Talent :D Ha, I love watching the auditions, people are so delusional LOL it is both funny and scary/pathetic/sad, but mostly funny :D Certainly entertaining. I enjoy the judges remarks, criticisms, compliments, funny faces and antics, too :)

I also watched a bit of a documentary about this person's life:



^ ^ Do you know who that is? :unsure::giggle:

Have you all ever watched the Long Lost Family series, it's one of my favorite shows. There is a US, UK and AUS series. It is very touching.
Also, a great movie The Cokeville Miracle on YT is one of my new favorite movies, and a true story. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a good movie.
