One-oh-three
In the thread below, Carl informs us he has 153 apps on his phone. To find out, go to settings >> apps and the number should be right there. I have 103.
However, I regret to inform you, Carl, I do NOT have a free bus pass. Every time I get close to it, they kick the minimum age down the road. As it stands, I should get my pass in June of 2026 – and so, of course they’re talking about abolishing it completely.
ChatGPT’s weasel with a cellphone was so adorable, I had to run it full size. Someone once informed me that they pictured me as little and cute because I chose a weasel as my avatar. Sadly, no – I am tall and distinctly not cute.
Have a good weekend, everyone!

Dang. My Galaxy Note’s app list fails to display the count. I did an Eyeball Ver. 1.0 count of Samsung’s pre-installed apps, though, and I’ve got 43 of those. 43!!1! I’ve prolly got somewhere in the 150 range, too.
One of the problems is that when you get a new phone with the same OS, setup includes a thought-free copy of everything from the old one to the new one. I think I may be able to let go of the app that tells me where the lowest price diesel fuel is in the San Francisco region. We’ve lived in Florida for 14 years now.

You play the bagpipes. Little girls who play the bagpipes look silly.
Ergo….😁

Never meet your internet heroes in person. You will be sorely disappointed.
As far as apps go: I only have 83. I delete unused apps to make room for media (movies/music).

Apologies. I was aging (ageing?) you unduly.
It’s a pity neither of us lives in London. There, if you are over SIXTY you get free travel on buses, the Underground and a lot of train routes.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
