• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Smart Phone - done!

    All the phones I looked at had dual sim slots. Spent 4 hours this morning at the mall waiting for the sim swop to go through, the lady then transferred all the contacts from old phone to new phone, cost ZAR150.00 Clever phone, measured number of steps and distance on afternoon walk was 2.7km...

    Blood pressure

    Her phone also does that, but who wants to carry a brick for 45 minutes fast walk! I don't walk with her at all, she is fast and leaves me behind. Recently at the coast we walked twice a day and I just see her disappearing in the distance. Then she sits and waits for me (I have the gate remote...

    Smart Phone - done!

    Thanks, it comes with age! I fully agree, when watching the people out walking in our estate reading their phone or talking. Sitting in a restaurant looking at couples or family at tables, all on their phones. Our rule is no phone out unless expecting a call. I need a phone that I can at least...

    Well, that day didn't go to plan.

    Mike, glad you are more mobile and recovering. Just be careful! Like the pooch. Teardrop will need an extension.

    Thanks Bob, good information. If no Sim card, how do you connect to a network? Getting info from old Sim to new phone will probably be done then by a smart kid at the phone shop?

    Blood pressure

    Gave my wife some money for her birthday to buy a watch. ZAR1,000 cant remember the make, she seems happy. Measures BP, Sleep, Saturation, and whatever. I keep my opinion to myself. The real reason was to track how far she walks and time taken which uploads to her phone and also Discovery...

    "So many questions, so few answers." :oops: Mark, these boxes are open sided, attracts a certain type of Owl. The estate next door has a closed box high on a pole, the bees decided to occupy. Apparently the owl(s) like wide open spaces to catch food and then fly in direct to the box. There is...

    Smart Phone - done!

    Bob, thanks. I need to chew a bit. What cables do they use compared to Android phones? Can I hook it up directly to my laptop (not Apple)? Charger? Not sure what the recon phone has with it. Presume they use the small sim card? That will be another challenge moving from large card and transfer...

    Smart Phone - done!

    Ok, ‘ol Scrooge is back on this subject. (been very quiet, away and working on Fin YrEnd.) My small button Samsung E212 – the buttons started malfunctioning. So I replaced it with a small Nokia 5G button phone. In 4 months the battery had to be replaced and then it just died. Battery does not...

    Blood pressure

    Sam, I take Bicolor 5mg in the morning and Losartin 2.5mg in the evening. My GFR dropped to 30 (panic & fix diet) in 2019 and last blood indicated 40 which the Neph is ok. Mine was caused by taking Arthrexin for 20 years, lots of salted nuts and crisps :( and also a kidney stone manufacturer. At...

    Our Fauna & Flora people also decided to erect a couple of boxes in the estate. They were not impressed when I queried the cost and also when I asked if they had sent a whatsapp to the owls with a map of where the boxes are erected.

    Blood pressure

    Sam, you have my sympathy. I am CKD 3b, so BP is extremely important. Strict diet + meds keeps it under control. We went away for 12 days and every second day was an eat-out day. :cool: I really tried to eat the right food, but temptation-devil stepped in. I could feel the BP climbing with...

    UP You think English is easy?? I think a retired English teacher was bored...THIS IS GREAT! Read all the way to the end................. This took a lot of work to put together! 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full...
