More of the "let them eat cake" while "we" of course will have air conditioning I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | I wanted a new phone with a better camera. I first went and looked at an iphone pro, then looked at a iphone promax. I had looked at the Z-fold as I liked the idea of having a phone and a tablet. Camera is not as good as the best iphone, or even Samsung's Ultra. But it's good enough. First I went to buy the iphone promax, but learned I could only get it from Apple unlocked. Ended up getting the Z fold. So I went from a $40 Trac phone, which works fine, btw, to like the most expensive phone there is. Now I'm worried I'm going to leave it behind somewhere and lose it. I've done that a couple times in the last 2 years, but no big deal. I always got it back. I'm swear, I'm not buying a new phone every year though. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

When mine is not in my hand it is in my pocket. I never leave it out in public. And I have an iphone 6. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Talking? What’s that? I can barely justify owning a phone for talking. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | .. I never activated my answering system on my current phone. Best thing I ever did. Told everyone, if they really need me to call them, text me. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 51 Posts: 4969 | I probably make one call a week on my phone and maybe answer one call a week. I never surf the net on my phone. Mine is mainly used for texting and checking sports scores in my yahoo sports app. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | a fancy office chair will not save you, because it is still a chair. Your body is happiest perching, which is when you sit on a high stool (think a bar stool at a kitchen island), with your rear on the edge of the stool. Perching works because your spine remains in an elongated S-shape ( not a slumped over C-shape), and your leg muscles remain activated, which spurs production of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase, which burns fat from the bloodstream and prevents that glommed-up feeling. At first, perching might tire your abdominal and back muscles—that’s good! They’re getting stronger. Slowly build up minutes. Cut from article.
