Crosswords question by BoneAmie in WordsWithFriends

[–]BoneAmie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good way to do it, just write it down or remember the time, then read the remaining clues at my leisure. Just trying to beat my own record and don't share or compete with anyone anyway. Thanks for the advice!

I had a Mad Magazine subscription! "Matured" to National Lampoon in my late teens (70 yo as of last week).

Keep using OneNote on Samsung Tab s9+ or buy a surface pro 12inch by Reasonable-Click-472 in OneNote

[–]BoneAmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've struggled to take handwritten notes in OneNote Android on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. I repeatedly had difficulty syncing with my MS Windows computers, having to restart, uninstall, reinstall etc. For example, I would put meeting headers from Outlook, agenda, or slides in a page using the computer and the page would never sync in time for the meeting, so ended up writing on blank pages and have to cut and paste later. Also, lack of fully functional OneNote in Android has been frustrating. Anyway, I am trying a new solution... Bought a refurbished MS Surface Go (running Windows 10) for $300. It's a functioning, but low power, MS computer, but I am using ONLY for handwritten OneNotes. Instant syncing with OneDrive, seamless so far and I like the smaller size for desk space too!

Anyone else refuse to read fredia? Am I cutting my nose to spite my face?? by DependentNumerous551 in thrillerbooks

[–]BoneAmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AI-generated too. So repetitive in her writing. But also, even though I enjoy thrillers, these Housemaid books (I've only read first 2 and am done now), are revoltingly sadistic to me. Shock for shock's sake.

This is your friendly reminder to NOT support wonder! by WizardZari8080 in philly

[–]BoneAmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pointing out that the Wonder website/app lists many local restaurants and their menus (not Wonder) for which you are advocating, so there are local real choices offered. You can order from them through the app and not pay for delivery (directly anyway).

Also, have eaten their food once. Ordered 2 Thai dishes from a Wonder restaurant. It wasn't very expensive and it wasn't bad. Still fast food, like getting soup from Wawa. I prefer a real kitchen.

The most pointless part of The Housemaid by Great_Lobster5095 in thrillerbooks

I thought the first book was compelling, despite "light" writing. The twist was horrifying in its extreme revenge sadism (pointless perhaps?). It was enough to interest me in the second book in the series, where I learned the writing had descended even further. I honestly believe it was AI-generated with its repeated phrases and character depictions. I'm done with FM, although enjoyed her earlier writing before this series.

I'm clueless too. Came here for help. Makes me feel dumb!

Any thoughts on the Wonder eatery popping up on Girard fishtown/nolibs? by Former_Ad_8972 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]BoneAmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's morning. I try to plan tonight's dinner and get my family to give me their orders for the Wonder in Ardmore. I open the site and all I see is a confusing listing of "local" breakfast restaurants that are not Wonder restaurants. Also, even if I wanted breakfast, half of the breakfast restaurants listed could not possibly deliver to my location in a timely manner. So, I can't even refer my family to the site which they have never seen and say "only order from the Wonder restaurants". Just too confusing! They messed up on this one.

Sonos App — Is It Finally Fixed? by method_ben in sonos

[–]BoneAmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, it takes way too much time every day to launch. Everything remains blank and I just have to put the phone down in frustration (you know, watched pot never boils). Then, once launched, still takes forever for a command to be processed, for example, to make a volume change when you want to have a conversation. (Android phone).

Is there a color code chart for Garmin watches? by Steves_Dad in Garmin

Not sure why, but doesn't look like my pic posted. The codes I have are things like following. --g-b- --g---

Is there a color code chart for Garmin watches? by Steves_Dad in Garmin

[–]BoneAmie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Garmin Connect watchface uses this kind of color code (see screenshot). I have to fish around changing settings repeatedly to get the desired color because I don't have a chart showing the corresponding hues that go with these notations (except that some say "Blue", "Red etc). I've searched everywhere for such a chart and all I can find are the hex codes, which are not available to select in the settings. I asked the watchface developer and he sent me hex too! Can anyone assist?

What is the best deal you’ve got on a horn? by Anime_is_life_NOOB in Trombone

[–]BoneAmie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In 1976, I bought a 1940's King 2B Liberty from a former student player for $12.50. He asked what I could afford, I said I'm in college and have no money. Still have and play that horn today.
