Reasons to be cheerful!

I just bought 73 books. 

Now I have to sell them.

Sell books? I do not understand this concept.

We're watching "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

Movie: "You can't Obliviate an entire city."

My husband: "Yes you can. Just make them watch Fox News for an hour."

Heheh.  Sometimes we do the unimaginable to make a little money on the side...

(They are children's books, in English, which I bought for an excellent price. Apparently parents and especially grandparents with money to spare love to give their children and grandchildren books to stimulate literacy and help them learn a second language.)

Well, since it is to promote literacy and a second language, I suppose I can understand that.

  That comment just became one of the most enjoyable things about that movie.

He does that sort of thing all the time. I love watching movies with him. His dialogue is often better than the original. His commentary is just hilarious. He should be part of the cast of MST3K.

I bought a new cellphone, relatively cheap. My almost useless old one has a 2 hr battery life (remind me never to buy cheap Samsung phones again) so I'll use that as a decoy in case I get robbed.

[No one]

Since it's  a Samsung device, you've already been robbed.

Not quite. I didn't pay for the device, just the crappy telephone service that came with it so it's not as bad as that.

Well, so far my Samsung mobile and tablet have done all I have asked of them.  Maybe my standards are low? But I would never pay the price of, say, an iPhone regardless if its quality - you pay for the name and image. I need neither in my lifestyle.

I need an Android device to run the Cambridge Audio Connect app for my music database and am thinking of getting the Samsung Tab 3. Can anyone suggest a better option? I would love to run the app on my Windows 7 PC, but it only runs on Android.

I had a Tab 3 and found it OK but a little long in the tooth now, had to change the battery after 2 years. Running a Note 10 and quite happy with it. More issues with Android than with the hardware.

Do not buy  a Tab E! You can't change the battery in those.

I meant the new one, the Tab S3. It has had some good reviews. I will check the battery situation.

Coo, expensive toy, that! Seems it is tops on video but . . .

Cannot find anything about replacement batteries but may just be too early. I am hoping tablets do not become "chuck away" when their unreplaceable batteries hit the end of their re-charge life.
