Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

My oldest does have an iphone, but I wanted my own. I don't like asking them to use their phone because I like them to have their own thing that I don't touch unless I need to. Plus I would have to take it all the time.

My husband only hates the S9. I honestly think it was the worse galaxy ever made. It wont charge at all, it has no service when everyone else has service, it doesn't do talk to text correctly... In other words its junk. I got him the S10.

I did have an iphone before the pixel 2 and I didn't mind it, I just wanted to try the pixel that everyone was talking about.

Ahhh I see. That makes sense!! That’s nice.

That does sound like a horrible phone! Haha how long has he had it? Mine was great at first then after a couple years it started sucking lol

And that makes sense! I want to try the Pixel too but still have a while left on this I think haha

I like those Wobbler things but I also really like those puzzle bowls they make.

They have different designs so they don’t figure it out too fast or get bored haha think I have a few different ones.

They’re different than just slow bowls (though those are great too) because they’re more of a puzzle and they have to think/use their brains to solve it and “chase” their “prey” (kibble) spring the bowl haha

I also like using regular Kongs sometimes especially to put in a crate or something. They’re great stuffed and frozen too haha last forever!! I’ve done peanut butter and kibble in there as well as treats mixed in and all sorts of stuff. Some people do yogurt too.

I also really like training with meals too. Not all the time but I’ve done that a few times, especially with the really smart and/or high drive ones. Some meals with no bowl, just working/training for their food. Uses their brains too and of course they eat much slower haha but I wouldn’t do that all the time. Some people do and never use bowls, only training or the wobbler or snuffle mats, or something, but it seems kind of mean to me to do that every single meal. Idk haha

We've done the same thing with Skye. It's really fun to watch her work through the puzzle bowls. We can't do too much meal training with her, as she frustrates too easily, We usually start out with "work-for-your-kibble training, then move to her regular bowl while she still thinks it's fun. So far, so good ... but this is the LAST time I'll rescue a Border Collie/English Setter Surprise!

We only plugged Skye's because it kept her busy longer. "Busy" is a GOOD thing with this dog. The longer her mind stayed active, the less time she had to figure out what else to get into. She's closing in on three, now, so she's finally settled (mostly!) but Holy Cow! What a looooong puppyhood!

Our big lugs have a long grow up period too. Hubs learned you do NOT take away the favorite hew toy.....unless you want a new sofa. Yup. That happened. Nope I am not buying a new sofa. That one is theirs anyway.

Who do you have for a phone carrier?

Verizon Wireless is letting customers upgrade early. They used to do it until they became really popular. I have had them for probably 10 years or more.

He has had the S9 for almost 2 years. I swear they make phones not last anymore. Right around a year and a half they start getting slow and not working as good.

I put this in the music thread but think it fits in here as well:


This is the way this book was intended to be

Oh. Good. HEAVENS! I LOVE it!!! I am good friends with the librarians at out local elementary schools. I am SOOOOO sharing this with both of them!

Sometimes a "Down grade, is a good thing" don't you think?

I still have an older model flip phone. If I "downgrade" any further, my phone will have a curly cord and attach to the kitchen wall ... or maybe a dial face!

If my flip phone still worked, I'd still have it!

My husbands brother was upset the day he had to switch to a smartphone because they no longer carry them at his service provider

Oh boy I bet she’s super smart and energetic!!! Hahah but yup, they definitely get bored or frustrated fast! I bet that’s a neat mix though. I almost got a BC/Brittany mix once lol

We have Verizon! I didn’t know that. Might have to look into it haha although I do really like my phone!! And I also have too many pictures on it

And I swear they definitely do that!! Haha I think they’ve even admitted to it before. So you have to buy a new one haha
