They have lots of new phones and apps now and you need to change, the woman told me. My answer was that I did not think so. Since the pandemic began we have been bombarded with anything that "they, " as this woman told me, want to sell us to make money. One of the biggest sellers are all kinds of phones that you can use to do everything with. Not me. I have a simple cell phone and throw a $20 card at it every 90 days.

People pretend that they can watch the big game on a device the size of my hand. They are lying. I do not have prescription eye glasses but it takes a bigger screen for me. That's why I have 3 desktop computers to really watch something on. Many have been convinced to trade these things in and go for that super phone that also might be able to wipe your butt for you. I don't care what others are doing but I watch for bargains.

Yesterday at the local resale shop I found a 2018 Dell computer monitor for $5. I'm still happy about this thing. It's a 23 inch wide screen and works perfectly. I'm not likely to change my mind and pay "them" a lot of money to have a cell the size of an envelope. Others may do that but not me. When the things I use get scarce I will go online and find them. They will be around a while and all my computers are refurbs. Computer shops did 2 of mine and I did this last one myself.

I now have a total of $8 invested in the system I did, monitor and all. That computer has 8 gigs of ram and a terabyte hard drive. I do what computer nerds do and working just 2 days a week I have lots of time on my hands.
