As they do…I too was referring to the over use. Well at least with the point of my kids using them. I see my nephews on a game system all day long. My niece used to seriously scream and throw a fit and hit her mom if her mom didn’t give her the phone or if her phone was dead. My brother didn’t help with that by just giving her his. I see too many people are glued to their phones or devices and not paying attention to the world around them. Social media has become what everyone evolves their lives around. Ok, not everyone but a lot of people. This is about as social media as I have.
@TropicalBabies i didn’t have a computer growing up. It was when I was in high school that schools started bringing them in and then the school decided to start making assignments on a computer (like typed essays) mandatory. I failed an assignment because we didn’t have a computer. We didn’t have the money either growing up for one, my mom went in and basically told them the same thing I did. But I’m also not the only parent to have went in and complained. Another reason I said something is also having 6 kids, that computer is bound to be broke, and I can’t afford to replace it.
(does anyone remember the Fonz from Happy Days?) I opened up my broken incubator, pulled out the humidifier that's labeled "do not touch", stared hard at it.. put it back and reassembled the incubator and.....*drum roll*.....it now works! 
So how often do you have to empty their "pond" and refill it? Living in the very arid West...I'm thinking ducks are not in my near future--we already use a lot of water for our pool. But I also hate the idea of using too much water when water restrictions are constant here! Perhaps when I retire to the PNW and water is less limited...or I have a home with a real pond that filters and cleans itself. For now, I will just enjoy everyone else's ducks!
