I love my books. I actually wish my living room wall consisted of floor to ceiling cabinets that hold nothing but books. Sigh..
I have about 3000 actual books and about 1300 eBooks on my Kindle. The Kindle function has a voice reader option. Click on the icon at the bottom the page and listen to a mildly robotic voice with odd pronunciation. I love to listen to my audible books but I only have about 20, many of my books are not available.
Yesterday for no particular reason I asked Alexa if she could read one of my books. Nope. Alexa do you have a book reading app? She recommended KaSa. I found the app, opened it, entered State, entered phone number and hit return. It stated loading, I let it run about 12 HOURS. I figured it was loading all 1300 books perhaps by voice file. I finally shut it down at 10 pm. Felgercarb!
Early that morning I asked Alexa how to load this program, no joy there. I downloaded a free 1001 Hints for Kindle that included many Alexa how to's. Every direction I tried not worky because I don't have a recognized device, apparently that includes the Kindle. If I purchase an Echo, there is the promise of getting Alexa to read my books through that device. I looked at the directions, promises to come on immediately on plugging in. At this point I want a friend or relative to sound off on that. So.....
A while back, on the assumption that someone on Kindle was listening, I yelled, "Jeff! Make my Kindle into a phone!" Well, whaddya know? As I was going through my 1001 tips there was a whole section on turning the Kindle into a phone! I must not have been the only person yelling into my Kindle. I perhaps did not give this app enough thought. "Jeff! Let me unplug my Kindle so it operates on any 5G network." Not gonna happen.
Lastly sort of, I have been watching my favorite web site in Fort Lauderdale. The empty field next to the bridge has been developed. I cannot find out what purpose the building assembled actually served. I have seen lots of cars parked there on Sunday, maybe its a church? The building is square and does not display a cross. Google! What church's do not display a cross, oh, modern ones, uh thanks.
Lastly, I noticed yesterday that I could no longer hear an occasional pause in my pulse. This has bothered me a while back and was seen by my doc who said, let us schedule an echocardiogram. Dr. Crane scribbled on the report a little of this valve, a little bit of that valve, keep blood pressure under control. Ok, working on that, no change in meds.
When I noticed that I could no longer hear the missed beats, I wondered how come? Lemme see Google what are the symptoms of prolapsed mitral valve? Of the ten symptoms I only have two and a half. Prolapse mitral valve is treated with a beta-blocker. Oh got that covered with Metoprolol. I will merely mention to my doc next time and ask her what she thinks. Just call me Dr. Whut?
