Wheres Toto Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 My current computer is a Lenova. I've also had an HP, a Dell, Toshiba, Lenova Yoga. The plugs always seem to go bad first, although dh and I are both capable of fixing most of those problems. My really great, expensive HP had about a teaspoon of water dropped on it and it fried everything. Dh has a ThinkPad, ds has some really good gaming computer but I don't remember what, and dd has my mother's old Compaq but barely uses it. I have 4 laptops and 2 desktops at the classroom now. An HP, a really small Lenova, a Compaq, and a Toshiba. I'm not sure about the desktops. They're probably all different kinds of parts inside by now. Youngest Dd and I both have iPods but those are the only Apple products in this house. Oldest dd has an iPhone but she's no longer in this house so she doesn't count. All our phones are Android - Dh and I now have Galaxy S10's, ds has my oldest Galaxy S7, and youngest dd got whatever the old house phone was, I don't remember. She doesn't even want a phone, she uses her iPod like a phone and talks to friends on it. The kids each have the kids version Kindle Fire 8's with the amazing return policy. No questions asked returns and we've done it at least twice for each of them. We have them set up so they can get apps from Google Play Store so they use them for just about everything. I have a bunch of the Kindle Fire 7's in my classroom now (the ones that go on sale for $35). I use them for Scratch Jr, my Sphero robots, and my Green Screen apps for classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad is still alive and 82, mom is 74. A lot of mom's sisters and brothers made it to 80 but I think ALL of them were heavy smokers and drinkers when young (and still drinking at 80). Dh used to get called the kids grandfather all the time. He was 49 when ds was born and 51 for dd, so it's not like it wasn't possible. His younger brother had adult grandchildren by that point. My oldest aunts and uncles were having kids at the same time my grandmother was. Grandma had 9 kids that lived to adulthood. My youngest aunt is the same age as dh and I have some cousins that are close to 10 years older than she is. Edited September 8, 2019 by Where's Toto?

Wheres Toto Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Happy Sunday! Dh will be coming home today. His mother may still be in the hospital for another day or two. I finished planning all except two of my classes for the week. I'll finish up those today, set up school, and plan tomorrow nights 4-H meeting. I'm hoping to work on plans going forward a little bit at a time all week so I can get ahead of things. A few classes are the same ones I did last year with just minimal tweaking so are pretty much done already. Also on today's agenda - head to Staples for lab notebooks of some sort, the grocery store for some supplies for the week (I need milk and soda for classes), science center to clean out the cockroach tank. I set my alarm for 7:30 so I would get up and could get going early. Of course, Staples doesn't open until 10am on Sundays but I'll work on classes before I run out there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Longevity in my family is mixed.
