Yesterday during the vision test me and the optometrist keep arguing over an E, 8, and backwards 3.
He said there where no numbers only letters
I said he was wrong because I was clearly seeing an 8 or backwards 3

Still my google assistance pops up every once a while. I am going crazy right? I did not touch the phone at all, let it play " Peter and the wolf:Lost in Holywood"

Three, yes three wooden puzzles, one was the barrel infamously super hard, the sphere one, the pieces are not coming apart, and yes the hollo bamboo one that is impossible to get through.

So earlier today, my phone will not surpass the lock screen, it just kept going black.. I did clean it and left it by a spell or two though. So left it alone for an hour or two, and funny thing it worked, I think it was a bit dirty on the screen.

My phone flipped out and restarted for no apparent reason. Wouldn't let me do anything with it, and it took me half an hour to just convince it to turn off.

I surmised that it was the time change causing the issue, and once I got the thing turned off and then restarted it later, it was perfectly fine.

Veterans of the Peace don't get pensions. Makes no sense. :mad:

Perfect, when my Moto edge just updated last evening, I got this:

IT keeps changing the screen size about every ten seconds.

And the widgets changed shape from small to large in a heartbeat...

"Are you kidding me with a dead rose?" Kind of feel to this thread,
"Wait for a few days until the problem is fixed." At least my camera and blue tooth synchs up though...
I have attempted as the courtyard grass smell perfect, before showing off my anger.

My March Madness bracket is already trashed.

Dngrsone · Mar 21, 2021

Wait, basketball is still a thing?

olbriar · Mar 21, 2021

To some, yes.

Milo Williamson · Mar 21, 2021

I am alright, fixed up my cell yesterday with a little factory reset

Milo Williamson · Mar 25, 2021

YA know if people would come with a blinking light, people would spend a ton time of not bumping into one another,
if people would come with instructions too, wow..

olbriar · Apr 14, 2021

Equipment breaking...

Currently my own head not being in the right kind of place, I forget about the present when I am daydreaming, oh yeah -- "Vacation" in a few months, I do not think that type of way out there thinking at all, I have a time and place that feels really on the dot as of just right now, and do not worry about the distant future.

When one good thing happens immediately near a bad thing happening.

Case in point, today... upgraded screen for my PSP arrived way earlier than expected, installed and works excellent. But my New 3ds (sorry, nintendo, you're not getting a free pass for such a stupid name) finally started cracking its shell. And unfortunately, I can't seem to find a replacement for this series anywhere. I can literally find replacement shells for every iteration of 2DS and 3DS except this one!

Same here, Nintendo is a hard pass for me as well, I am also a die hard Playstation person too, just never really upgraded to the ps4, or ps5, they are too "Hey kids let us stream on and on, do you forget to pause button?" Like that, I rather just have my dish network as well as ps3 for the awesomeness of playing my media on it mostly, and a few games on it too.

For me, i find myself appreciating Nintendo hardware more than some of their franchises. As it is, I'm basically hoping there would be a way to hack my Mariko switch, and about the only game(s) I'm looking forward to for it are the rereleases of no more heroes 1&2, and the upcoming No More Heroes 3.

I'm personally done with supporting Sony on anything new. I only excuse it because i didn't buy the Switch in question, but, for me personally? I can't get excited about a console i can't hack anymore. Like, until there's a mod or jailbreak, it's like my motivation can't be bothered. And for most things, Sony is notoriously difficult to find parts for when they break.

Either way, the screen upgrade on the PSP has been fantastic. Text is notably sharper, and colors got a drastic improvement.

My old psp's adaptor decided to not charge my own psp ever, but I had my media already saved, so with the ps vita is like easy to plug in and have my media downloaded super easy vs. The harder way of importing it to the psp via p.c. - looks so crystal clear, I am too old to shop sometimes to shop online and I do not want to leak my information on it either. That is why I am just running from store to store and fork over my cash.

I got an assignment which requires me to travel: good (2x the pay min)
I suddenly have a debilitating disease that leaves me incapacitated for possibly hours and it is highly random: bad

I have a month and a half to find a working solution to this new problem before I become disqualified for the assignment. Suffice to say, I am a teeny bit stressed
