TUMBLEWEED: Is it Real or Memorex - Memorial

Shalimar, FL (Hi 88 Lo 75) Out of the 90's

Everything is AI, is it real or Memorex, remember that commercial? I've read a few things with AI that I KNOW isn't right (from experience) and the new videos aren't real in some cases. Be careful out there and know the truth before spreading the info. While I'm on a tant, here's another one. I've been working with the GBM gals in a zoom with people losing their husbands. Most of the gals are a lot younger than me and want to date. The scamming going on is breathtaking. Guys are smooth talking to the gals that are lonely and say the right things to get them later (not right away) to sell the house and move to apartment, spending or taking their money in sly ways then leaving them when the money is gone. I feel so sorry for them. Don't fall for it. Keep your money to yourself. It's really sad how this is happening. I don't usually do a full scale complaint on the blog, but it's getting so much worse that everyone needs to be aware.

Ok on to a brighter note: Sunday we had our birthday ice cream social. We're trying to bribe people out of their apartments, who can turn down ice cream? It didn't happen but we'll keep trying.

Monday morning I went to a neighbors memorial. It was well done and several people went. We have a chapel and a reception building next door. It's convenient to everyone for both Catholics and Protestants.

Tuesday was diamond art and meditation. I also worked with my travel companion for the Alaska cruise trying to get the excursions right. Princess took me off one of them and we finally got me back on, but charged one of us again and a different amount than the first time. We'll continue fighting, but I have a feeling it's going to be a mess. Hopefully we can work it out, even if we're on the ship. We both still have to do the mobile sign in which is a duplicate of what we've put into the Princess website. I can't believe we're having so much trouble with Princess, we can't get answers to anything. I got a haircut later in the day. So I'm good to go for several weeks.

Wednesday was different. Training for falls was in the morning. I still can't get off a chair without using my arms, so I went to PT to ask how to do that and what exercises to do. The guy wants me to do PT with him. I saw that coming. I need a referral and so far I haven't been able to get hold of my doctor, but I'm not doing anything now it's too close to the cruise to worry about it. The knees are a big problem, but we'll see what happens next month. The rest of the day I had several things at the same time. Working on the decorations for the sock hop didn't happen, I did TikTok and Instagram instead. I did play cards in the evening.

Thursday I went to crochet group for a couple hours then the activities meeting. We're planning for September, some good stuff coming up. I played cards for awhile.

Friday was zoom all day. All kinds of things are going on with classes and meeting with friends.

I did get two football gnomes. This time it's Kansas City.

I also got almost all the people in our Village one on the collage. I'm missing six people.

I took this bulletin board of all the activities we can do this month. If you can't find something to do, it's not their fault. I have to pick and choose along with what I do normally.

Saturday: IFalcon is a team of computer geeks from Eglin AFB base that help us "old folks" with our computers. They came today to show how to upgrade our PC's to Windows 11. I have a new PC so I wasn't there for that, I wanted to get my files back to where were before OneDrive decided to take them. I'm not going into specifics, most people won't know what I'm talking about. It took 4 hours to figure it out and I'm still dealing with it. I lost a lot of my files that I can't recover, but I'll figure out something but won't create them unless forced to. He had five computers so people could have hands on to learn to upgrade. We're so thankful they're willing to come help us for free. Management had food for lunch, this is Mary.
