Also, I'm years behind the times and just got google home, and just love it Don't worry, we will never have one. H is convinced the government will listen to us or some stupid shit. I'm just like, really? You do realize how god damn boring we are, if they ARE listening, they won't be for long! This is from the man who has Ring on the front door and wants to install cameras on the back of the house, and is completely okay with that. Insert Sure Jan gif here.

The cards/gift wrap was 30% and some books were 20% but otherwise everything was 10% The TRU closest to us closed after Christmas. Each time we went in, everything was 10% off, not worth the hassle to me for that kind of savings. Then when we went back hoping for good deals, it was bare minimum. I did hear that Amazon is considering buying some of the old TRU store buildings to open stores. I love Amazon, I love online shopping, but there are some things I want to see in person before I buy.

We have an echo dot and sometimes it will randomly chime in and that freaks me out. Like I was talking about a date or something and it said something about not having anything on my calendar.

We have Google home and mh is the same way. He hates it and thinks it is creepy. He also wants me to delete fb...dude you use Gmail, they know everything about you already. The other day we were randomly talking about quebec and french speaking parts of Canada...5 min later I see an ad on my phone for vacations in Canada..not creepy at all😳. Especially since we weren't addressing Google at all.

A rumor I heard is that they are going to wait until right before they close (like in June) to drop prices more.

Also, I'm years behind the times and just got google home, and just love it We were at my cousins new house on Saturday and I was asking Google all the Star Wars questions and B was so excited to answer them before google and that he was right. It was instant gratification for him. Until he said 'ok google' on the way home in the car and there was no answer. He probably thinks that the voice with all the answers follow us wherever we are. All that to say, that Google mini may be in our future.

Especially since we weren't addressing Google at all. Did I ever tell you about the time my phone creeped me out? (This was before the echo dot). Last summer I asked H if she wanted to go to the zoo. First we had to stop somewhere else but I didn’t say anything out loud about it. I got into my car and my iPhone popped up a notification with directions to the zoo. NO. I turned off “hey Siri” after that.

I think the only time I would use Google Home or Alexa is when we were drinking and wanted to ask it stupid questions. I'm sure there are plenty of practical uses for one, but I don't think I would ever actually *think* to use it!

Sometimes H likes to ask it to make animal noises or tell a joke.

You guys aren't really selling me on the google or amazon thing...if I want to listen to music, I turn on the radio, sirius through the tv or pandora on my phone. Weather I also look up on my phone.
I'm showing my age again, aren't I?
