JoJosMom Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I have told her more than once that she does not respect me or listen to anything I say. Things come out of her mouth as though she is the one that thought of it, although I may have just finished saying it. I say it in one line, she takes 5 minutes. I've told her she can just tell me once what is needed and it'll get done - I don't need 5-10 minute explanations of everything. When she continued to do so, I told her earlier this week she continues to insult my intelligence, and I realize that it doesn't matter what I say. She says she respects me but her behavior shows otherwise. I told her so. No, I am not that nice. Well, you're nice here, so it was worth a shot. Perhaps you should reconsider your position on non-violence? Maybe that's why she's picked you for torture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That getup was all my idea. My wife (girlfriend at the time) had to be persuaded to even take the photo. :) It's 12 years old. Nowadays she'd just resignedly snap the picture without any sell. In fact she'd probably do it before I even asked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why she's picked you for torture. A nice high kick to the head should help. Also, a punch to the throat a al Tex. Maybe even take her out at the knees. That should give her something to think about for a while. Or you can just put her in time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synching photos, contacts, and music isn't the same as doing a backup image of your entire phone in case it gets lost/destroyed/etc and needs to be copied onto a new device or just reimaged itself because of some storage error corrupting the operating system. Instructions vary depending upon what phone, what type of computer (OS) you're using, phase of the moon, political affiliations, and jam preference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instructions vary depending upon what phone, what type of computer (OS) you're using, phase of the moon, political affiliations, and jam preference. You are awesome. Can you open this peanut butter jar for me too? So if I lost it right now, I have all my photos, apps, and music saved. But would need to replace the operating system and reset all the settings? I'm trying to decide if it's worth my effort. It's old and needs replacing when we can afford to. So a new phone would come with all the new guts anyway, right? (I'm really dumb about these things, and dh is not much better... even though he's a computer scientist, he's not a user of techo-gadgets.)

MarkW Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Right, you'd still have your photos, music, apps, and so on, but you'd lose all of your settings or anything that you don't have selected to synch. Some people choose not to synch contacts for example, etc. If you got a new model, the backup image would be no good anyway although I think that some phones like the iPhone make an attempt to import all of your settings and such where applicable if it can. With Android this is all more or less moot because on an Android phone, logging into your Google Account more or less sets everything up for you (although often you do have to reinstall apps from the app store). I think Apple is trying to get this going with iCloud, too, but I haven't used it so can't give a testimonial. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Great! I'll check and make sure that anything I want (like contacts) is syncing. Otherwise, I'll continue to ignore the backup alert. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to cross state lines now to get blueberry cake munchkins, which are the bestest and somehow even superior to the blueberry cake donuts. So I must satisfy myself with chocolate instead. Sigh.

I was in heaven. I so miss that sweet little age. I directed the play and blocked most of it with a kid wrapped around me and didn't mind one little bit.
