You don't have to get married, unless you both choose that. To me it was important. My parents have a wonderful marriage, and I wanted that too.  But that piece of paper can mean nothing, it guarantees nothing. Marriage only works, when you both want it to. 

 

 

Yeah, I know. Maybe one day. :)

Still down, but I've been reading the textbook offline. Just heard a good joke...

 

It's so cold in Washington D.C., that the politicians have their hands in their own pockets.

That’s amazing. Read that to my parents. They laughed. :D

So, we crossed Kattegat safely, and thanks to travel sickness medication and slightly less wind than the forecast indicated, I did not throw up! Hurray! :D

you say you "crossed it"

is it a long bridge or a ferry?

we have some long narrow bridges on the gulf coast that look terrifying to cross, never been on a ferry for a crossing.  took a short (4 hour) riverboat cruise in Memphis, Tennessee when i was 17.

It’s a ferry. 3.5 hours. Can get stormy this time of year, hence the potential seasickness...

You, Thorn, should write a travel log, because that makes me want to travel there! LOL 

The place I’m at is much nicer than the ferry ride to get there. :P

Or at least a good thrashing.

 

There will never be one in my house. Nope.  

I think Peter uses his all the time. It's not really me either. I set it up, have the app on my phone. But Peter uses his to turn on the lights and check messages and I don't know what else.  I don't think it will be used fully here.  However, I am terrible at making lists, it does that when I tell it to which it then pushes to my phone, and it will remind you of appointments, or to put dinner in at 5pm. But otherwise it should just stay quiet. LOL

I am quite sure it would not have lasted this long in my house. One of us would have tossed it in the creek by now.

Alexa on my Fire Tablet has done that me a couple of times. I asked "her" the other day to tell me what's on the news, and she brought up FOXNews' internet livestream for me. I know it only did that because somedays I will turn FOXNews on for background noise while I'm doing school work.

 

The thing that made me turn off the Alexa "hands-free" was when my Uncle was talking to my Cousin about picking up a new car battery charger, and I started getting email and "suggested" products on my Amazon dashboard for battery chargers.

That's why we changed the wake up name to Echo .. not something we say, unlike Amazon and Computer.  We didnt want to give it the human name, Alexa.

I'm still learning how to operate it on the tablet. Supposedly, you can change the voice on it, and I have yet to find the setting for it.
