Rare ReneeFLL Posted July 29 #126626 Share Posted July 29 Question about my iPad. I’ve been using charging cables from Amazon for years. All of a sudden it has trouble keeping the connection to charge. This is happening with all 3 cables. I’ve tried plugging the cables in different locations so I know it’s not them. When plugged in it will charge for a couple of seconds, but then quits. If I move the cable wire around just so it will connect again, but it’s hard to fine this exact spot. It works fine with the original cable that came with the iPad. It must be the connection inside the iPad. Problem is it is only about 3’ long. I hate the short cables. Is there a way I can fix it or do I have to take it in? I tried cleaning out any dust, but I didn’t see any in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted July 29 #126627 Share Posted July 29 Good morning. My comment is only in regards to athletic events and steering away from the so called “art” of France. Just a quick comment about the Olympics and I only want to say I look forward to watching the athletes compete. With having satellite and in addition some pay sites I have many options to watch what I like. However, a three hour time block had tons of history, profiles of athletes, commentary that there is little time for the actual viewing of any competition. I hope they get back to televising the actual events! Safety to all athletes! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the nice weather had something to do with it. We went for a walk during the concert and found a couple turkeys. Looks like they need to grow some before Thanksgiving. 😁 Good pictures, I am assuming you zoomed in on them? If we got that close to the Turkeys around here they may charge us. Your summer of fun’s look so great I think everybody would want to be your grandchildren. Kudo’s to you to keep up to them. Are you doing a live from cruise? Enjoy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connector has become loose which can happen with non apple charging cables. Apple sales guy told Linda they don’t repair them and that she should get a new one which she did. There are places that can fix it but it may cost several hundred dollars. The new iPads use a usb-c connector which is better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I move the cable wire around just so it will connect again, but it’s hard to fine this exact spot. It's likely the wires inside the cable have worn and become broken from being bent many, many times. Same thing happens to my wife, she goes through about two cables a year. Order a six-foot cable from Amazon. There are many cheap cables sold on Amazon with fake reviews. Stick with a known vendor like Belkin or Anker. Paracable is one of the best, but they carry a premium price tag too. Some say buy the best cables, some say buy the cheaper cables and replace them every so often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the Peacock app. You have have to pay for the service but it has most of the events and a lot of them without broadcast commentaries.

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted July 29 #126634 Share Posted July 29 I’ve been absent for a while, we’ve been dealing with a lot of stuff with Andy’s Mom. It’s the familiar story of someone who’s 88 and living alone but shouldn’t be. She really needs to be in assisted living but refuses. My MIL lives outside Albany not far from Andy’s sister and the sister is very lackadaisical in doing anything. The family dynamic there is just 🤷🏻♀️. @dani negreanu you and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. @George C your new kittens are adorable. Based on a recent comment you made, I have a name suggestion, Johnny & Walker. @Sea Dog I hope you’re healing well. @FromSea2ShiningSea I’m loving your pictures! Keep ‘em coming. Other than the MIL situation, all good here. We are gearing up for our three grandsons coming up from PA August 12th. We’ll drive them home on the 20th, then start getting ready for our trip to Hawaii. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#55worktoplay Posted July 29 #126636 Share Posted July 29 @Sea Dog Greg, I am way behind here but I wanted to say when I read about the Christmas movie about your team I thought of you. Then I read you were an extra, so cool. The gal played Summer on Young and Restless she was good in it. Can’t wait to see the movie. I like you don’t change the channel during Christmas in July. My husband enjoys them too but he really doesn’t have any say in the matter 😀 Sorry you have had some skin cancer issues. Hopefully you recover quickly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Dorthy for thinking of me and your comments. I had to sign a NDA so I will be able comment on my experience later but it was an experience of a lifetime. My skin cancer surgery went well with them removing it on the first layer. I did get a pretty gnarly black eye out of it. I hope it clear up by this weekend.

Lizzy and Charlie are doing good. They will be 3 in October. Lizzy likes to bark at deer in the backyard and Charlie likes hunting for the chipmunks that live under the patio and are a nuisance. They are obsessed with playing fetch everyday with these rubber balls. Then after that it’s time to relax. And then after that they like to relax.

If you ever get tired of throwing the ball, but they're not done playing yet, get one of these auto ball throwing machines. So long as they are trained to return the ball to the machine, they can play for as long as they want. There's a few different models available. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to play ball every night for 1 1/2 hours😀. Lola is still a pup and I am hoping her energy levels relax a bit in time but that would be a solution for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While our dogs are pretty smart I don’t think they would be good at dropping the ball back in the bucket. They don’t like giving up the ball. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
