LOL. No. First, with dictation software, it's tied to the computer. So, I can't and it's not cheap. It would probably cost more than my computer that doesn't have enough memory to handle it probably.

Also, dictation software.... It's very utilitarian. You have to say out loud every single piece of punctuation and etc. I have to keep them separated. I do not want to wind up dropping the F bomb in one of my notes.

I tried it for a while, it was a disaster without mitigation. My Kentucky speech was more that it could deal with.

My Kentucky speech was more that it could deal with.

I got really good with mine, but like I "had" to honestly. I think my first one was like, in 2009? Maybe? I know the last version I used was Windows 7, and it was pretty intensive as far as training it all the time and keeping it in line, all these tasks you have to do. I kind of got the hang of it and I use a very even, monotone kind of deal with absolutely no excitement. I call it my "robot" voice.

THIS NEW ONE? OMG. All the millions of things you used to have to do? Nothing. They even have different versions (and dialects, I bet you could set it to "American-- southern." I'd have to take a look. I have no accent really from anywhere I don't think cuz I grew up all over. The instructions are: here's the dictation box, start talking, if you want to figure out what dragon can do, say, "What can I say?" and it brings up a variety of increasingly complex commands even self created commands concerning what you can do, and what you can say. Also, you can CHOOSE to mispronounce a word. Like, the word access and "AHCCCS" are pronounced exactly the same, so I decided to pronounce it "AHH-cess" and it totally WORKS man. It's crazy. I'm smitten.

OMG my house is SO clean. I am such an expert housekeeper when I choose. I mean, the mopping thing-- You start in whatever area FAR from where you want to dump your final tank of water, and then you work your way backwards, going to increasingly dirty areas.... Then, you dump your water and like, BOOM. I even use two bar mops (I am in love with bar mops they are my favorite things) to SWISH your way out of like, the area where you just mopped, an upon your way back to-- wherever, if you missed a spot, you can Pippi Longstocking it with the bar mop. You also need one of those BUCKET mops with a squeezer, I cannot emphasize this enough.

If I ever get disbarred I might go back into cleaning honestly I should. LOL. Maybe the market is flooded though IDK?

I dressed in street clothing so it appears I will be choosing to go to Walmart, not do Yoga. I'm waiting an hour for the advil to kick in though.

First time I ever had to mop the floor I backed myself into a corner. Lesson learned.

WALMART TIME!! I am way ahead of my game, I even opened all the mail and like tried to pay the electric bill. The husband told me to "pay my bills" so I wasn't quite sure what he meant and I texted him he was too efficient and I was trying to pay my electric bill and like, he was like, "No I mean your medical copays open the envelope and pay on time." I was like "Yeah, but I'm all caught up on that." Then I was like, well I can transfer him more money apparently so I did with the message "maybe you can turn down your OWN A/C now, like seriously, if you die on me I will curse you, and spit on your grave. I won't MEAN it but I will do it."

Food. Yum.

    Nice review! Now start the coil wars. I wonder if Smok will offer an octacoil pod rated for 150-200W that their new 4 pound pod mod can output. Pocket friendly if you wear lumberjack suspenders.
    Don't give them any ideas Eskie, come to think of it they probably have a plan already.

    Good thing I wasn't vaping when I read that. :lol: :lol: :lol:
    Spent the afternoon watching my neighborhood team win the World Little League series! Lots of fireworks in Little Farms before the sky opened up.
    I watched and it was a great game. Congrats to your neighborhood team!!! :thumbs: I was wondering while watching if that team was near you. Way cool.

    I could throw a rock at where they practice. Great group of kids :D. It was like midnight New Years eve at the end of the game. They have a tremendous amount of support from the neighborhood. They have a big parade next weekend with floats, bands, throws (to non nola people, the beads, cups, etc we expect people to toss from floats).
