| Hi 👋 y'all 🤠! The thunder ⛈️ storms blew in after midnight and as peaceful as falling rain can be,loud thunder ⚡ can be annoying when it keeps waking ya up 😹! Got to sleep in till 7:30 past 2 days so yay for that! Usually Our " rooster" 🐓 kitty Maxy starts meowing very loud 📢 between 6:22 AM and 7! Feed the kitty's and have coffee ☕ start the day! We did laundry on Monday and finally got it put away. So was not impressed with Alexa 😕 on Amazon echo dot... I was hoping it would make things easier if it could replace the remote pretty much. Talk 🦜 and go! Nope didn't happen and she's in the box waiting for a box and label to get returned. It took time to hook up Amazon, Samsung TV Alexa app ( pretty much useless...) In the end over the past two weeks,it was more a pain in the butt than helpful. It couldn't go from the home screen to Roku most of the time. Could not open-play- TV shows except a couple times. The trouble started one night, trying to get her to "Alexa open Dark Winds on Roku. ( It's also AMC+ through Roku!) Instead Alexa told me about" The Dark Wind is a novel by Tony Hillerman in a set of books by him. I put it in your cart do you want to buy it now?" I yelled NO ALEXA 😠! DON'T BUY THE BOOK! She responded "ok" I looked at Cheryl and said " 😒 WTF??? She did WHAT,?. Sure enough I looked at my Amazon cart and the novel was there from Alexa 2 minutes ago. ( Today on a news ticker saw a child had ordered 70,000 lollipops for 4 grand on Amazon...) Back in 2020 I was staying with my dear friend Mabs in Washington State. She had Alexa but used it to turn on the lights,play a song and other helpful things but it didn't try to sell her anything... In the past 2 weeks, when asking for the daily horoscope ( sometimes she says it but most times -) Either she don't remember being asked for Sagittarius or offers to sell us a subscription to a daily horoscope. It got super out of hand, she would play music that we didn't ask for and wanted us to order the album. So I did some digging this morning and found out, after 2014 and later in 2022 she was being programmed to sell us stuff. I even found out that if you don't have Amazon prime, you will pay $19.99 a month for her service. Whoa can you believe that? People had posted those problems and more , trying to figure out how to reprogram her. I tried to teach her new skills but the app was dumb! I couldn't get her to open a show, but could get her to tell me what movies were playing in our area. So it's like she can't remember anything we say, but she remembers to sell us crap! Or play music that sucks, that I never asked for or heard! Instead of helping my sister with low vision, she's not doing much but aggravating us! Who needs that?! So beware of Alexa cause she can be dangerous... I kid you not 🚫. I'm doing ok except for the number the weather is causing my spine. From ok to a sledgehammer 🔨! Does anyone remember that song? On a serious note,has anyone watched The TV show Dark Winds? It's an excellent show and is true to the different Native American cultures. I learned so much from it already. Some unbelievably awful,how Native woman in the 1970s were led to give birth in hospitals, rather than home birthing, because they made a law, giving permission to sterilize woman. Without their knowledge or consent. It's a mystery show with a strong cast and compelling storylines. It's filming it's fourth season after just ending it's third. It took 30 years for it to become a TV show!!! Thanks to George RR Martin and Robert Redford and others who saw the Merit in this huge project. Bless em all! So the Thunder is starting again and almost feed the kitty's dinner 🍽️! Have a safe blessed week y'all 💟 🙏!☺️😸😼🐱 |
