I will be 84 in a few days and hope to God that I never have to buy a phone or a remote again...EVER. Mike, bless his heart, drove me to Easton which is Andy's hell on earth and quickly became ours that early, dark, rainy Monday which turned into darkness before we finished. The shops were open, but two that we were sent to had no phones. Apple is the only one that night that had phones and crowds, I mean big numbers of people (all wearing masks) but the store had plenty of staff and that part went smoothly. The prices were what one would expect but this phone does things that I never have participated in before and right now I do not know how to call or answer or text...but there are hundreds of other things begging to be noticed. The remote was easy to get but no one here (three men) wanted to program it into the television up stairs, let alone tell me how to use the phone that came with no directions. I was pretty put out with these men, so I said I would not be cooking, I had forgotten how! And my chill set in. When I finally went up stairs Mike was working on the remote and got the television working, kind of. It is enough and some day the television will shut off without leaving a message behind that I can not understand. Forget the phone until Matt comes to the rescue on Saturday. I can see messages if you want to send me one and I can read them, but I do not know how to reply. It is very upsetting as many of you might know. I realize there are bigger problems ahead, but this should not be that hard to fix. So, if your stuff is working, keep it and be glad.
The phone stores cannot get inventory because of the shipping problems, Apple was the only one with phones for sale in the entire Easton.
Since my TV now works, I suddenly remembered how to cook. The beef was so tender you could cut it with a fork, the potatoes were brown and delicious and the carrots were tender and tasty. All cooked together in wine in only about an hour and a half. I was so surprised at the time element that I became happy, so I shared my knowledge and stew with the men.
