    Me dino can think of several people who needs a dog head collar to constantly keep their cell phones out of their faces.
    Top of the list would be my 18-yea-old granddaughter's ex-boyfriend when I used to see him at my daughter's home.
    You could not even say hi to him for walking into the house without him becoming irritated for him peering into his stupid iPhone.
    Come to think of it, he never said a single word to me. Not ever. Not even during birthday and holiday parties.
    Never asked anyone what his problem was. Wonder if my granddaughter getting a job at a hospital had anything to do with his disappearance.
    Oh, well, right now for all this little bit of writing is the most I ever thought of him anyways.
    Yesterday I threw away a white sock. Its partner sock won't miss it I have several white socks.

      Every now and then I have to throw one out due to a toe hole!, eventually they re-pair up . . .
      No one around here Darn's those darn socks.

      Gota watch those steep grades while coasting in a wheel chair and getting caught by "Radar" because I wasn't wearing my free tin hat; all because of bow and arrow climate change making Flamingo's take a foot off the scale to weigh less and Scientist using kids on a swing to sideways count out minuets and seconds.
      Thank God I don't have a dumb phone otherwise I'd be wearing a lamp shade.

        Me dino gotta iPhone. Why? Had to buy hearing aids and I was told that with an iPhone the ringing signals would like a radio wave be picked up in my hearing aids that would also amplify anyone I talked to.
        Me the dino buys no games and for a fact I don't buy squat for my iPhone.
        Certain doctors I see want me to jump through stupid app hoops that need passwords to tell them I'll keep an appointment. Hell with that. I just show up and if I can't make it? I give them a call.
        Why can't they quit the tech crap and be like my dentist. His receptionist calls my home phone.
        Ding-a-ling? Hello? Mr. dino, can you keep your appointment tomorrow (or later today)? Sure can. Thanks Mr. dino. Bye.
        See how simple that is? Doctors are supposed to be health providers~~not irritaters who wanna be cool playing waste my time tekkie crap.

          "Certain doctors I see want me to jump through stupid app hoops"
          The clinic at the local hospital now wants us to check in by using a "kiosk" which is a tiny computer screen with a touchpad. You have to be standing up to key in your info. They Did Not Test It On A Correct Sample Of Users! Hand tremors? Lack of good balance when standing? On crutches? Trying to reach it from a wheelchair? Forget it! Doctor and nurses agree it's a Bad Design, but they don't run the zoo.

            Oh, you are sooooooo correct, Snezzy!!! I had to go for some tests at a place I've never been before and they had one of those sign in thingys. No sign. No instructions. Just a podium with a screen. Nothing on the screen (you had to touch it first for it to wake up). I was waiting by myself for what seemed about 10 minutes (nobody at the receptionist station) and then another patient walked in and touched the darn thing and typed in his name. I asked what he just did and he showed me how to sign in. Of course a nurse came out and called his name first and I had to wait my turn. Put me in a surly mood for a while.

            Why did the word "typical" jump into me tiny-brained dino head?
            And before I thought of that, me dino immediately thought of a wheelchair before I could read all of what Snezzy wrote.

      I know what you mean, dino. I have a face-in-phone grand daughter-in-law that comes to gatherings and says nothing to anybody because she's glued to the phone through the entire event.

    Mission accomplished, OUC! Can't stop laughing at some of these! If Amazon screws it up, ask Alice. Truth on that sea level thing. LMAO on a good collection and I don't have to be in the room. (Oh, I can't wait to give that yawn thing a test.)

    Awesome collection. The cone of sham should be a part of any cell phone package. Also, I did ask Alice but she disappeared down a rabbit hole. Who knew?
