    Smart is not allowed in group homes.  Only stupid is.

    Can my iPad be smart enough to know when I sleep if it next to me?

    Why is smart a bad thing?  I know someone who acts like smart is a bad thing.

    I hate 'smart' electronics because they try to be helpful by anticipating what you are doing and get it wrong most of the time.

    One of my favorite comments when I hear people complain about their devices.  "The trouble with smart machines is that one has to be smarter than the machine to outwit it." indecision

    In this country the Utility Companies who suppy Gas and Electricity are trying to persuade the consumers to have smart meters installed. I keep telling my Power supplier that I not only do not want any smart meters for various reasons,  I am also not certain how feasible they would be in the sort of property in which I live.  I live in a Stone built cottage whiich is around 160-170 years old. The main walls are approx 2 feet thick. My electricity meter is fastened to one of the front main walls,  my gas meter stands just in front of another part of the main front wall, just above ground level, as the gas piping enters the house from underground. I have radio controlled clocks.  When It is time for the time change in spring and Autmn I have to insure that that my clocks are directly in line with a window other wise they will not change.   Can you understand why doubt the Efficacy of their so called "smart" meters?

    It probably cost them more in producing and sending all the rubbish literature and letters telling me that have made an appointemnt for the meter to be fitted for me that it costs to make the wertched thing.  At least I saved them the cost of sending soemone to fit it by declining. cheeky

    I was just thinking about emotions.  I was thinking that I can feel ticked off if I want to.  I think that is true.  Nobody can actually control how I feel.  Nobody can make me angry without my permission. Nobody can make me love them and on the same line of thought nobody can make me hate them.  Their actions might frustrate me by the way of me trying to make sense of it, but they themselves cannot change my emotions.  They cannot make me angry unless I allow them to anger me.  Just because someone calls me a liar does not make me a liar.  Being called a liar would offend me only if I want it to because on some level I care what that person thinks.  Since that person has assumed I am a liar too many times in the past, I do not know why anymore that I give a paah-tookah about what they think.  I think I made up that phrase but still do not know how to spell it.

    Basically My emotions are my emotions.  It might not be easy but only I can control my emotions.  Once I get that through my thick skull the better I will be.  Also in return I cannot control anyone else's emotions either.
