I love new things, but hate new technology. I have set up the laptop, and seen lots of tutorials. I am gradually putting in the 100 or more links that I use. However, here on WordPress, I am still using my older Windows 10.
The reason being, my photos don’t automatically come up on the new one. I have gone into the help support area, and everyone that asked the question didn’t get an answer. So I finally clicked on phone support. They said it would be 10 minutes, and they would call me back. They did call back after 10 minutes, but I am still on hold after another 20 minutes. As we are going out this afternoon, I am going to have to end the call.
Anyone have any ideas for me? You know I am technically challenged. If not I will call them again tonight, and continue waiting.
I am really pleased with the quality of the Sogrand Super Bright 15 Lumen High Stake Pathway Solar Lights.
These are similar to the black ones, that I recently posted a review on, but these have the stainless steel poles, which I do prefer over the plastic ones. This 6 pack set of lights have the double stainless steel pieces of pole, which makes it= taller than most. However, if you wanted to have 3 in the back, and 3 in front, you could just have one piece of the pole to make the front ones smaller.
Now that the days are drawing in, I have been moving my solar lights around, to ensure that they get the most of the sunlight. This allows them to charge during the day, and give light at night. I love that this saves energy, and that there are no wires/cables to deal with.
They look so pretty during the day, and then at night they have this bright middle, and a yellowish glow coming out from them. I put mine in an area between my front door and garage, and they look so good there.
From the Amazon webpage: ‘SLEEK:Brushed Nickel Stainless Steel and sturdy design means these timeless solar lighting will never go out of style.’
I did receive these beautiful lights for free, and have tested them in my garden, so that you get to see the beauty of them too.
My next-door neighbor has a chime on her integral garage door, and I always thought what a great idea. When I had the chance to receive the MasBekTe Wireless Door Open Chime, I couldn’t wait to get it.
My husband opened it up, and had it all set up before I had a chance to see what came in the box. That’s how easy it is to install. In the box were: ‘One receiver and one magnetic door sensor transmitter, adhesive tapes on backside of 2 parts and batteries.’
He put the plugin receiver in the outlet within a foot of the door. Then one piece of the sensor on the opening side of the door, and the other on the frame. He matched them up so that they were the same height.
As soon as he opened the door, the chime went off, and lasted for a few seconds. You can change the chimes as there are 50 different ones, and also the volume on the plugin receiver.
Being white it is the same color as this door. Our front door, and patio doors are always locked, but we come in the garage, and tend to have that one unlocked. I really like that I now have added security on this door..
A little from the Amazon webpage:
Magnetic Door Sensor
& Unique Ringtones :The magnetic door sensor activates when the magnetic stripe is separated. The plug-in portable receiver will alert and notice you with a ringtone when the door is opened. Perfect for stores to keep security
Wireless Plug-in Receiver & Built-in LED Indicator :The portable wireless plug-in receiver plugs into any standard outlet. And its LED indicator can create visual alert for the hearing impaired.
Maximum of 600 ft/ 182 m operating range.:Magnetic door sensor alerts whenever the magnetic stripe is separated.Modern and contemporary design gives flexibility to install anywhere in your home, business space, retail stores, and more places.
I am really happy with the wireless doorbell chime, and am thinking about buying some for the men, that I buy gifts for. I never know what to get them, and I think this is a perfect solution. No work involved, and a happy wife.
I did receive mine for free, and have tested it these last few days, and really appreciate that I have it.
Living in Florida, we pretty much have our A/C on in the vehicle all year round. That is why I use air purifiers in it. When I received the Sollievo Ionic Air Purifier for Car & Home I had to try it immediately.
I read the instructions that are very straight forward. First I took the USB cable, and pushed one end into the plug that goes into the ‘cigarette lighter’, as we always called it, and the other end into the product.
Next I put a couple of drops of essential oil into the little pull out drawer, on the side of the air purifier. Out to my vehicle and switched it on. I then plugged the machine in. Placing the machine in the central reservation, between the driver, and passenger, I switched that on too.
The light flashes, and the machine is working. The reason for the Essential Oil, is because it gives off an unpleasant smell.
From the webpage: ‘
REDUCE THE STRESS OF THE DAILY COMMUTE BY BREATHING CLEAN FRESH AIR – the negative ions capture the airborne pollution coming via the vents of your car so that you do not breathe it in.’
It can be used
in your home, office, or any small area that needs clean air.
I did receive this product for free, and wanted to write a review of it, although it wasn’t necessary.
Since smartphones came around, and you were able to take photos, and video with them, all our cameras/camcorders were forgotten about. Having the Onshowy HD Video, coupled with the 24 MP 16 x zoom camera, it’s own click on microphone, as well as the remote control, infrared night vision, and the big 3 inch LCD 270 degree touchscreen has made me never want to go back to my phone. They also supply not one, but two batteries.
I have taken photos, and put a video here, and on YouTube, but still wanted to tell you that for the price, nothing beats this product. All this for $$119.99, a savings of $80 off the retail price, with Amazon Prime.
Today I have gone all around our home, taking a video of our possessions. We live in Florida, and always keep a D.V.D., of the contents of our home in a safety deposit box. I felt like a Professional using it, and on playback, could make out all the smaller items in the background. That has never happened before.
Then still shots with the camera. I didn’t have any lights on in the house, and still could see make out items on the shelving.
We have taken at least a dozen videos with the camcorder, and as well as the one here, you can check out other ones of mine, on YouTube. All my new ones with be with this camcorder.
I also plan on taking selfie videos, and photos on it, with the LCD screen that turns around. We will go outside at night, and take more with the infrared night vision. I have so much to learn.
The only thing you have to buy is a S.D. card, and it is suggested to buy the 32 gb., which I bought on Amazon for $13.99. I then put the S.D. card in my laptop, and the app comes up, to transfer them to photos. From there I am able to upload them to my blog, or any other platform I need.
This is all new to me, but at age 69, I am really doing great. I love the Onshowy camcorder/camera, and my husband and I will both be fighting over who is going to use it. Not really, we are both getting so much pleasure out of it, and learning what else we can do with it, on a daily basis.
I did get the product for free, but bought my own S.D. card for it. I wanted to let you all know, that I feel this product is certainly worth the money, because the technology is amazing. It comes with 2 manuals, one for the camcorder, and the other for the microphone.
The Yootech Fast Wireless Charger and Pencil Holder, is a really neat idea for your office desk, or anywhere you write things down, or make notes. I took it into our second bedroom, which is also our office.
This charger is compatible with Samsung S8, S8 Plus, Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus, for fast wireless charging. You can also do standard charging with the QI enabled device like Samsung S6, S6 Edge,Google Nexus 4/5/6 ,LG G6 etc.
The fast wireless charging takes from two and a half, to three hours, for a full charge.
It has a non-slip/skid bottom, so safe on any surface. It’s an elegant product, and has the silver edge at the bottom/front. Here you can see the green light, which turns to blue, when charging. In the top you can keep pens, pencils, and any office products, that will drop in it, and be long enough to show at the top.
I was using my Samsung to take the photos, so the phone you see, is my husband’s one that isn’t compatible with it. However, I wanted to show you that it can be upright, or horizontal.
I did receive this product for free, and as I hadn’t seen
What a neat idea, lights for posts. I have seen them on walls/fences around communities, but didn’t realize you could buy them for your yard. The Sogrand 2 piece solar post lights, with a copper finish vinyl are elegant looking.
Not all posts are the same size, so they come with 5 adaptors, from 3.5 inches, through to 5.5 inches. There are also batteries supplied, to be inserted into the compartments.
I put mine outside early in the morning, as the sun is up before I awake, and doesn’t go down to almost 8.30 p.m. I then switched the on/off button to the on position. I had them on my wall at the back, and looked out to see this warm yellow light. It looked so pretty. It was still on when I went to bed at 11 p.m.
I have had them working for several days now, and love the ‘little house’ type light. The diamond shape on the outside, makes me think of the Dicken’s era. Having been born close to Rochester, England, where the bard was born, makes me think of home.
Of course you will be saving energy as they are solar lights. There are batteries in them for backup, so you might have to replace them from time to time.
I did receive these for free, and have been honest in my opinion of them.
I have several headsets that work with my phone, some being wired, and others wireless. I was really intrigued when I saw a picture of the Bluetooth Headset, ARCHEER Mini Bluetooth Earpiece with 850mAh Power Bank Mic, Lipstick-Sized Portable Headphone Hands-free In-Ear Magnetic Earphone for iPhone Galaxy and More, AH21, Rose-Gold.
After receiving it, I took it out of the attractive box, it came in. It is slightly bigger than a lipstick, but a really neat idea. The top of it, that is the earpiece, pulls out, and it connects with magnets. The other end is ‘the mini charging dock that can be either used as a USB charger adapter or a 850mAh external emergency battery to recharge the earbud at any time’
It sits in my ear really well, and I love that I don’t have wires and a clip, or it going around the back of my neck.
A little more about the product from the Amazon website:
‘Stable Performance-The latest Bluetooth 4.1(Backwards Compatible with Bluetooth 2.0) allows up to 33Ft. (theoretical) full bandwidth transmission range. Versatile compatible with iPhone7 6S 6 plus, LG G5 G4 G3, ipod shuffle, ipod touch nano, Samsung Galaxy S7 S6, BlackBerry, HTC, iPad Pro, Bluetooth-enabled tablets.’
I found it easy to pair it with my Samsung Galaxy J7, and am delighted with it.
I did received this item for free, and wanted to share this tiny bit of technology with you.
Getting older isn’t that much fun, especially when you have to use the bathroom at night. That is when the Sogrand 2pcs-Pack, Night/Toilet Light, Colorful LED, Motion Sensor Light, that Beautifies the Toilet Seat. Fits on All Toilet Bowl Sizes, comes in handy.
First off, it is so simple to use. All you need is 3 AAA batteries, that are not included. Put them in the battery compartment, and it is ready to use. Lift up the toilet seat, and open the arm. Put it over the rim of the toilet, and allow the arm to point downwards.
As soon as it gets dark, or even semi-dark, the motion sensor will pick you up, and the light in the toilet bowl, will come on. In my video is shows the different colors that rotate. You can also have it on a single color, and I prefer the blue option.
These toilet/night lights are really useful. I like having one, but I also think they are great for guys in the house. It is less likely that they will miss the bowl, if they are still sleepy.
I did receive mine for free, and tried it out for several nights, before writing this review. It worked perfectly.
With any new phone it is nice to get a case to protect it. I received the SamsungGalaxy S8 Yootech Case. It states that it is has Dual Protection, TPU Silicone, and Hard PC with Shock Resistant technology for Galaxy S8, The color is Orchid Grey, which is very pretty, as you can see from the photos.
The cut outs are exactly where they need to be, to allow you to use your phone. It goes on easily, and can be pulled off the phone is necessary. It has some flexibility in it, but seems sturdy enough to me.
It comes with a 24 month no hassle warranty, so you can feel comfortable buying it.
