I was intrigued by the samsung Z (?) Phone that folds. That was selling for $700 but is heavy and I was leary of that concept You will love the camera. There are several options so you might want to play around with it before you go. One feature you will like is the movable button. They have a second button you can move anywhere on the screen to make it easier to shoot. There are a few functions of the main button too like sliding it to take multiple pics. Also if you hold it down it down it will switch to video mode. It would be nice to watch a couple YouTube videos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got off the pain meds. Last Wednesday was the last time I took Tramadol. Problem is now is sleeping at night with soreness and restless leg syndrome which from reading is common. I’m taking Tylenol to help with the discomfort but still having a tough time. I tried some Tylenol PM but it made feel to drugged out. Today will be the first time I will drive myself to therapy without Linda. Making progress but I’m at that stiffness, soreness and numbness stage still in the knee. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted March 14, 2022 #51480 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I was awake early this morning, because I forgot to take the flight, originally scheduled for this morning, off my calendar. We are still snacking on Royal Caribbean cookies. Today at the beach, it is windy and cloudy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually read that when you use low light mode it tends to lighten up the picture too much. I'm looking forward to olaying around with it. With the S8 your zoom was probably digital. Digital zoom usually adds noise in low light. What you will like with the S22 is one of the lenses will be a 3x optical zoom which will handle noise much better. Also you will have an option to set it on pro mode. This allows you to see on screen adjustments made to the EV settings etc. This is much better than low light mode or night mode. I liked the pro setting when taking pics at the shows. I believe you will really appreciate the S22. The video is good too. To take full advantage of the settings it wouldn’t hurt to watch a couple YouTubes on the camera settings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched 2 episodes and decided it was too dark for me. I have only heard good things about it though. It is excellent .I never previously heard of the lead actor before.Now I plan to watch every film he has ever been in ,including his lead role in Belfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was funny is onetime I was trying to use the voice command but did not have that option turned on. I probably looked mad as I am holding the phone up and kept repeating, shoot…..shoot…. Shoot. 😂 There is also an option to take selfies by showing your palm. I have not tried it yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those flowers look very similar to the state flower of where I live in Texas. We call them bluebonnets. Texans look forward to the bluebonnets emerging in the spring, and we often have pictures taken when they are in bloom.

The last two years, well, it got to be really bothersome with lack of sleep So, I let my Dr, know and he started me on low dose "REQUIP". Well I take two pills a day. One at 6pm. and one at bedtime. If I forget to take the 6pm pill it seems the bedtime one does not work as well. I might have a breakthru event of restless legs un-related to anything specific like 1-2 x per month, but this regimen works well for me. It has a lot of leeway for changing the dosing requirements, and just a happy camper it works for me. Best of luck. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Dania Beach. It is north of Hollywood, and a little south of the airport. We walked from our hotel, near 95 and Sterling Road. Once we got to the beach, we walked it and the boardwalk south to Hollywood. The upper end of the boardwalk and beach was not busy. We eventually made it to Margaritaville, and the flow rider was in operation. $30 for 30 minutes if anyone is interested. I think they downsized the Cuban sandwich and raised the price. I remember them being much bigger. Of course, by the time we walked back toward or hotel, we had to stop at Jaxson’s for some ice cream that we missed yesterday. My white chocolate macadamia nut was packed full of nuts. Very good. By the time we finished our loop, it came in as an even 16 mile walk. Time to relax in the hot tub and pool now.

My research is showing that it is common for people who had knee replacement surgery to have RLS due to the nerves being cut in the leg. Weird thing is that I have experienced this occasionally even before my surgery. I will look into a variety of treatments. So hard to sleep right now and even sitting on the coach it is bothering me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a homeopathic remedy a pharmacist recommended years ago. The maker is Hyland’s, and most pharmacies have it. The name on the bottle is “Restless Legs”!!! It works got me. After falling because of leg cramps a couple of times, I started taking Hyland’s “Leg Cramps” when I feel the muscles start to tighten. I’m not a supplement or natural remedy fan, but I am a believer in these two. I showed them to my primary doctor a couple of years ago and he said he takes the Leg Cramps one himself. I thought I had something brand new at the time! I’m glad you’re done with the super pain meds. The time really will come when you can forget the pain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
