OT: Hmmmm
OT: I'm a big fan of the stylus in my Note 5. If I think of something I need to do, all I need do is eject the stylus and immediately use it to jot a reminder.
When I think of something, I get off my horse, pull the little 3"x5" spiral note pad out of my pocket and jot it down. I like to have pages for each store I buy stuff at: Costco, Sprouts, Safeway, Trader Joes... When I run low on the 3# bag of coffee beans I buy at Costco, I jot it down so I can get a new bag to replace the soon to be replaced backup bag.

When I shop at Safeway, I have their shopping coupon ap running on the phone with another list of special sale items they have to lure me into the store, perhaps hoping I'll someday buy expensive drugs at their pharmacy.

I've tried using lists on the phones but it becomes a pain to keep switching and the little notebooks are so much easier to read, cross stuff off, pull out the page, etc.

If I think of something while driving and I'm alone, I use the hands free Bluetooth to call myself and leave a voice message. If I call my GoogleVoice number, it will send me an email transcript of the conversation too.

Trouble with that horse.... no Bluetooth.

Hi w0z,

At the age of 66, I'm beginning to appreciate your excellent advice.

I need a new phone. With your complete honesty,I now also need a stylus. <smile>

Thanks for the heads up!

Bob
