    You have a SMART phone then m2c? We just have a landline. Jim had an ordinary cell phone several years and I guess it died. He intended to get another one but hasn't "gotten around to it".  I read that some of hose cell phones can cost OVER $1000! Is that true? I'm not gonna be nosy and ask the cost of yours because it's none of my business but how can a gadget so small be worth that much? Sheesh! Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday to thee! :)

    Yes I have a smart phone. I am usually on it when I am on the Mug. Some phones are very expensive. Apple run around $1000. Samsung can run that much depending on the model. I have never spent that much on a phone. Mine usually cost umder $200.  If I have money to just buy whatever I wanted I would get the Samsung Fold ($2000) but that is not gonna happen.

    OMG! $2 THOUSAND DOLLARS? It's a good thing I'm sitting down. What does it do that makes it worth that? Thanks m2c. Boy there is so much I don't know about so many things. I imagine my dad's or my mom's face if I told them one day futurely a phone would cost TWO THOUSAND BUCKS! I mean seriously. I gotta ask.

    It is literally folds. The pict I posted is the same phone. So is like a phone and a tablet. Has 6 cameras. Over 500GB memory. (Most phones have between 8 and 64GB)

    Those stats are way over my head m2c. Even though I don't have a clue what you just said it sounds very impressive. I am very ignorant about all that stuff. Here's a question I'm gonna ask. You get to see it first. "Why do I need to learn about technology I will never want need or use?

    Great question. I never really thought about it. The only gadget that I can think of I have is a motorized loung chair which I sleep in because of my back. :)

    Thanks for the compliment ru. Motorized lounge chair? Is it like those hospital beds that are multi-place adjustable? Your back and legs and neck and head in all kinds of positions? I wouldn't call that a gadget though because it is specifically designed to aid in a medical debility or disability. I've seen some that are advertised as "beds". They can go very flat. Look very comfy. Sorry for your back problems. My Jim has no cushion in his spine between two vertebra so its bone on bone which is painful. Thank you for your reply. May you always have a great night's sleep! :) This post was edited by RosieG at September 20, 2019 10:55 AM MDT

    Yes. Instead of a manual lever, it has two buttons on the side in which to raise and lower the chair. With the motor, I can fine-tune the chair where I want. :)
