My Alta was great. The only reason I replaced it was because the battery wasn't holding up anymore. Never had any issues with it. I had the Flex 2 as well and never had issues. The Charge 3 was plagued by issues, but Fitbit's customer service has been great.
My new one will be a smart watch. I don't own Apple products (nor do I want to) so the alternatives are Samsung products, but I like the features with Fitbit, so I'm not switching. Google owns Fitbit now, so that should help some. I'm very dependent on my Fitbit. The resting heart rate feature tells me if my thyroid meds are off. If it goes too high, I know there's a problem. There's a blood oxygen monitor on it, which I'm hoping they'll eventually do where you can check it at any time, but it's good to know because if it varies a lot during sleep, there's a problem with my asthma.

I was once at Epcot after late night EMH and there was a snake chilling out in the path as I was coming out of the bathroom. I walked around it and it didn't bother me.
The exciting day was when we were walking to DHS and watched a bald eagle get into the water, grab a snake, beat the thing to death, and eat it.

Oh, and our last day of vacation: B was eating his cereal on the balcony, and he came in and kept saying, "Owl, owl!" I was wondering what on Earth was going on, so I went out.
Not owl. Falcon. Chilling on the balcony next to ours. I got pictures on the SLR; I'll have to pull them. Poor kid does not like birds and was totally freaked out.

It turned out to be an earlier morning than I even thought. My daughter forgot her phone downstairs, and she forgot to turn all her alarms off now that she's done with classes. So at 6:30 this morning, her phone started blasting "Why ya gotta be so ruuuuuude....don't you know I'm human toooooooo." And because it was downstairs, and she sleeps like the dead and had her door closed, she didn't hear it and therefore did not turn it off. I was less than amused. But oh well....I survived.
The good news is that A won the tournament. My husband has asked the school for pictures, at least of A with the trophy, which stays at the school and the winner's name is added each year and their picture goes on the wall of fame. Not bad for a first year. They put him in the 3rd year bracket because of his level. He plays regularly with one of the teachers (a 3rd year teacher) and it was hilarious because at our first parent teacher conference this year, his teacher told us the reason the games took so long was because A was too good. The 3rd year teacher didn't know what moves to make, but had a friend who plays, so he'd take a picture of the board after A made his move, and he'd send it to his friend, who would then tell him what his next move should be, so he had to wait for his friend's instructions before he could make his next move.
A of course doesn't know this. The just had the board set up in the classroom, and every day, the teacher would come in at some point to make his move, then go back to his class. When A was finished with his work, he'd go and make his next move and let the teacher know it was his move again.But he told me at the beginning of the year that it was going to be HIS picture on the wall with that trophy, and his name on it. And he was right!

Congratulations to A! Chess is a game I just don’t understand but wish I did.

I don't either. A tried to teach me once, but to tell you the truth, strategy is not something I am into. He's very good at it, though. None of the boys in his class had ever played before and the teacher wanted to build his confidence, so he let him do chess lessons with the class sometimes. His teacher said he's a very good teacher. Patient and encouraging, gives compliments, gives very clear instruction. He said as good as he is in Math, he thinks teaching math might be a good career path for him. And one of the other boys that he taught to play made it to the quarter finals, so he's obviously done a good job.

E has her first babysitting job on Monday! One of her friends has a little sister who LOVES E. So the brother is finishing 6th grade, and most schools put on a musical with the 6th graders as an end of the year, goodbye thing. They are going, but they can't take everyone in the family, so the little sister has to stay home and she asked if E could be her babysitter. Noelle asked her if she'd mind babysitting Felina, since Felina asked for her specifically. It's only a block away, and my husband will be here if she needs anything. (My second babysitting job ever, the oldest child's bedroom door jammed...it was a plastic doorknob and its mechanism broke, and she was locked in her room. My mom had told me to call her when I got the two little boys to bed, but I forgot because I was trying to get the girl out of her room. I was the same age as my daughter is now, and my mom had to come over and take the whole door apart to rescue the girl. I thought I'd never get called to babysit again when they came home to their daughter's door off the hinges, no doorknob, etc, but they said it showed great judgement asking my mom for help instead of trying to do it myself. Whew.) I think she's looking forward to it. Felina is so sweet and loves E. When E went over last week to paint Noelle's nails for a party, Felina insisted she do hers, too, and on E's birthday, she drew a picture for her. It's so so cute.

I'm a bit torn between being happy that someone recognizes my problem and being concerned that the agreement is coming from a cartoon cat. I feel as though I am being mocked.

When in 6th grade I was in a chess tournament. I was NOT good. I think it took about 12 minutes to lose in the very first game. It became the game that I once played and never touched a queen again.

I gave up watcching the news years ago due to all the bad new being reported. However once the Pandemic was declared, I started watching again. There is still a lot of bad stuff. However, I have kept it on most mornings for the early hour just to keep informed.

Question: Yesterday when I signed on to @wdwmagic an alleged survey popped up about the website. It looked legit so I started to take it because it promised free gifts at the end and because I like the site. As I got to the end it showed the list of prizes which range from a flashlight to Hemp oil to a $100 dollar gift card (conveniently sold out already). Up until that point the questions seemed to be reasonable but then I semi panicked. I tried to get out and even though that screen went a way there is a site Icon on my screen that will not go away. I cannot find it in my lists of programs and do not know how to delete it out. It doesn't show as a problem on my very expensive shields, but just will not leave. Has anyone besides me had this problem. So far about 5 different surveys have popped up that are connected with this particular sender. Any clues?

Sounds like a virus. Like... an old school one though. If you have virus protection software, run it.
