MY $600 NOT SO GOOD RECLINER

So 6 years (2013) ago I got this recliner. At the time it was on sale for half price ($600) and I was like "I want that". It felt ok to sit in and was a vibrating kind. Well all I can say is it did not stand up.

6 years later (2019) here I am and it's seat and back springs have sagged to much I need to put a pillow on the back so the bottom rail of the back of it won't cut into my spine as I sit on it. I would expect this of a 20 year old product, but not a 6 year old one.

I found a page with a bunch of other people who are kind of sorry they got one. See the company is not toast. People can't get repairs done to the defective products and so on. Speaking of broken it stopped working as a vibrating chair 2 years ago. It's now just a $600 reminder that I should have got the sofa I was looking for instead.

Now I have nothing left of the money that got me this and a new bed. There was very little money left over when Mom died and it was not long lived as savings.

I won't mention the $800 computer that dropped dead in 5 years as well. All I can say is I did NOT get my money worth and either item.

So I don't know what I'm going to do when this thing finally dies. I don't really have room for a sofa and even used chairs seem to be well out of my price range. I am on an income that does not readily allow me to save much or any money.

I remember being a young kid and Mom and Dad getting a living room set. Well cut to 40+ years later and I sold that to a friend and they are still working fine. Things are literally not made as well these days on average.

So somehow I need to save a small fortune to get a replacement for this dang thing when it finally dies on me. I don't have anything else to use in it's place. See no one comes over so I never bothered to get more than 1 place to sit when I did have the money.

Oh well, this is just how life goes some times. Seems it's how my entire life has gone to date actually. It's rare that I am able to get something that does not die too soon or is of great quality. But then again, most of my adult life I have been rather low income. Being on disability does not help - the money stays the same and everything gets more expensive. Sigh.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
