Barbra Streisand

 


 In the 1990's, Barbra Streisand, had a concert, but the ticket costs were in the thousands, which I could not afford, but I did see her full concert. How? 

Well, in 1993 the concert was issued on VHS tapes for about $25, and later the same concert was on a DVD. It was Christmas, when I had watched the VHS then later on the DVD. I love her movies, and recordings, as well.

I have no problems with Jewish people, as well as other races, my other Jewish favorites are, Gal Gadot, Shira Haas, Chen Amsalem and Noam Lugasy.

In the unlikely event, I am able to see them in person. I would hug them, kiss them,love them, then hug them , kiss them, and love them; Whoa, hold on! -without their permissions ,that would be an assault, except for the latter, NEVER MIND! :)

My God! Leave A Message

 


One Sunday I was watching television, but during the day, my phone rang at least 15 times, my caller I.D. said it was the funeral home, but they did not leave a message on my answering machine, so I just thought it was a "spoof" number. 

Finally, they decided to leave a message on my answering machine, and told me that my brother's wife died, because of the delays, it was too late for me to make plans, to go to the funeral. they probably called me during the week, but I always let my answering machine pick up first, before I decide to pick up  via phone or not.

Most people got caller I. D's anymore, so I do not see why telemarketers even bother. No matter how many times they call, if I do not recognize the number, I will never pick up. 

Sometimes I get calls supposedly from the local hospital, if they do not leave a message, I just assume it is just another "spoof" number. I do not answer 'unknown calls' or 'unknown number' or calls without numbers.

Fortunately, I have a Patient Portal on my computer, tied to the local clinic and hospital, and it will list all my appointments. I can even make appointments on it, if I need to see the doctor, I just use the drop-down menus, first you choose your doctor, and see what days and time they are available via another drop-down menu, choose them and click on 'submit' I can even request prescriptions' refills. Saves a lot of time by not having to use the phone.

I do pick up the phone, if I recognize the voice while the answering machine is recording.

*I did have a phone, long time ago, that lets you assign different rings to different numbers for example: All my friends will have one ring tone, family a different ring tone, business (like hospitals) yet a different ring. When I did not hear any of the above three rings, I do not answer. (end)

Easier Way To Solve Math Problems.

 Yes, when I was in high school, I was good at math getting most A's and B's. 


For example, if I want to know how much energy my 200-watt electric blanket uses, I use the formula below, assuming I will be using it for 10 hours a day, most electric blankets will automatic turn off after ten hours.

Watts:200 hours:10 ; after multiplication; I get the answer of 2000, but to get to the kilowatt hours I have to divide that result by 1000. Giving the answer of 2,.... then I multiply by , my present recent rate of 5 cents per kilowatt hour giving the result of 10 cents or at the 5 cents kilowatt hour rate 10 cents for 10 hours or a penny an hour, your kilowatt rate may be different than mine either more or less.

Yes, I did buy me an electoral blanket, but I cannot use it because of my diabetes, it somehow affects the nerves, also If a person is pregnant, they should not use it either.

Now let's do math the easy way. How, simple simply ask Google, Seri or any device that searches by voice.

Our social security in the U.S.A had had increased by 8.7 %, instead of figuring your new amount out, just ask Seri , and say "Hey, Seri, what is 8.7 percent times (your previous gross income here) ?,and you will receive the answer right away, then simply add the new amount to your previous gross income.

Now suppose you were cooking, and you have to cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, but you have an oven that only uses Celsius, just ask Seri "Seri, what is 400 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius?" She will give you the answer of 204. Why, do math? Let your voice search devices tell you. For other things that voice searches can do, simply play with it !.
