The REO Lounge - Part II

[beckyblue]

Good morning, all! No picture here to make up for that WAY overly-large Earth Day photo earlier. Sorry for that, had too much Benadryl in my system at that moment for sure. Also sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I was at the ER vet all day with one of my pups. He's had a load of seizures, but the doc has him on new meds for a long-standing condition and is confident he should be okay. Hope you all have as good a day as a Monday possibly can be!!

Mornin REOville! Another Monday... they just keep on coming don't they? Got my friend's phone all set up yesterday, it's nice, but I think I still like my iphone better, not sure if it is just because I am used to it or not, but it is much easier to set up. Does anyone know-do you have to add an app for voice dialing? We couldn't find anything about that on the phone or on the net. It is a Samsung Galaxy SIII running Android, we also couldn't find anything about using a speaker? Can you do that? Maybe it is something you can do while on a call, didn't think to look at that. Have a good Monday all!

The voice command app should already be on the phone. The icon is a black box with an old school microphone and blue radio wave running through it. If you're using bluetooth, press once on your blue tooth headset, it will say something to the effect of "please wait...please say a command"...you then say Call "soandso"...or Call "555-5555" and it will either say "Calling...." or "Did you say Call soandso"....etc. It will prompt you for more information as you go if needed. If you mess up just say "Cancel" and it will stop. It can be a challenge to get used to...but once you do, it becomes old hat. I use the voice dialing feature about half the time. Good luck!

Good morning, everyone

Thank you for the kind words, Pietro I definitely hear you. Hopefully, I'll get this down to a science and I won't need to put so much time into it. I figure after another two or three issues, I'll have that time cut in half. I'm doing the job of someone who's been doing this for nearly 20 years on only 6 months of my own experience and no related education. So I'm being overly fussy detailed. But it was cool doing this all on my own...makes me feel..."grown up."

Happy Monday REOville. I guess I don't have to tell you it is Earth day, someone beat me to it. Other things to celebrate today are:

*Chemists Celebrate The Earth Day

*Girl Scout Leaders Day: Girl Scout Days

*"In God We Trust Day" Day: “In God We Trust” first appeared on U.S. coins after April 22, 1864, when Congress passed an act authorizing the coinage of a 2-cent piece bearing this motto. Thereafter, Congress extended its use to other coins. On July 30, 1956, it became the national motto.

*Mother Earth Day

*National Jelly Bean Day: National Jelly Bean Day 2013

Lisa, Lisa, Pietro is sucking up to you, he knows that you don't have time to catch up on all the posts and discover how shabbily he's been treating me. Actually I think the recent slowness of ECF is a result of his blatant rudeness and inconsiderate attitude toward chronologically mature citizens.

(Rumor has it he uses his Reos as paperweights and has gone back to dipping Skoal... AND SPITTING ON THE CARPET!)

Good morning, Reonuts. Blue sky right now but it's forecast to start snowing this afternoon with between 10 to 20 inches by tomorrow night. Pretty soon I'll be able to go deep sea fishing in my well.

A point of inquiry, if I might. If we didn't have an earth to name Earth Day after... would we have any other kind of day?

What came first, chicken or the egg?

It's always good to see you standing proud, Jack! Makes me wonder though if I should just catch up anyhow.... nah, I'm sure it's all just inspirational quotes, weather reports and dinner plans. Right? RIGHT???

And someone named oldbroad changing her name to nanakay, then kaypers and sending boo boo cookies and other things

and some new REO owners joining us

and Pietro along with Jack sparring about NASCAR

and Cappy and Carol making it home from Florida only for Cappy to get sick forcing him to take a much needed break

and a bunch of other stuff.

Yep, all dinner plans, quotes and weather, nothing to see here Lisa!

Hahaha...well I don't feel so badly then....I knew Kay had changed her name...again. But I didn't know that Ray fell ill. That sucks. @Ray: I sure hope you feel better soon! But glad you're having to stay down for a bit.

Jack...sending you some belated

Thanks Val!
