Styluses.

45 Replies

Texting is the thing to do

Emails are too slow

You only have to write your text

And at once it's on the go

There is one little problem

Both thumbs must be quick

Youngsters have no problem

The keys go click click click

But if you are a bit older

And your thumbs are rather slow

The smartphone then takes over

And it's own words will bestow

It thinks that it knows better

What you want to say

And fills in those blank spaces

Then sends it on it's way

But I've got it sorted

How to make it clickety-click

But my phone is not too happy

Being poked at with a stick.

My laugh for today ! Thanks Don I never know what the end will be . But where do all these stylus disappear to .?

I can never find one and my fingers never do what I intend

in reply toJaybird19

No matter how many you have they all end up in the same unlikely place. 🙄

Aaah but where?

in reply toJaybird19

Where’s your most unlikeliest place? 🤓

in reply toJaybird19

I can't even operate a stylus without it falling to bits, and it doesn't help my spelling at all. :-(

Do a search on Amazon for an indestructible easy use stylus, I’m sure they’ll find one for you. 😉x

And i cannot post a reply without it disappearing prematurely !

Just what do i do wrong . It happens all the time and sometimes just gibberish if i haven't checked it. Clumsy fingers so a stylus is needed and i hsbr mislaid mine again.

Great Don. My phone does predictive text to my embarrassment at times. I can’t believe how quick the kids thumbs go. I’m a one finger user and slow

in reply toJomo46

My fingers are so bent with arthritis they miss the keys I’m aiming for. 😟xx

I hate those silly pens that do not have a nib

Making it almost impossible to compose stuff ad-lib

And as for the stylus,don't you get me started

It wasn't long before me and it where parted

So thank you Master Po for this technological packed rhyme

I will stick to my old keyboard and just take my time. :)

Old fashioned Ski's and a cat that doesn't text x

in reply toskischool

So you have a monster keyboard,

With keys you cannot miss?

You probably do not need your thumb

You could punch it with your fist. 😄x

Would be lost without my 'stick' my messages would be all garbled .....the problem is my little grandson loves playing with the little rubber bit at the end and is forever pulling it out if I'm not quick enough to grab it 😱 glueing it back just doesn't work, have to buy a new one 😂😂😂Xxx

You can’t have too many styluses. 😉xx

I use a Stylus also

on my little phone,

That's why I prefer my Computer

in my little Home

with keys so big to click on

with a Screen so big to Browse

I sit without mistakes, I think,

until I drop the ...Mouse. ......Squeak.##

Bravo! 👏👏xx

Well Carino, Thought I'd have a Go! Just wish I could have a magic wand to do what Admin can't, and enable me to "Post" It seems Iris too, has same problem. Besos Grande. XXX

Maybe you should join again as Hacienda 2 to resolve the problem,i know that's not the best way to resolve the issue and you may lose stuff in the process?so maybe not one of my better ideas?

Carino, Have had to change my password , so No , I won't be re Joining, If Admin can't sort it I shall have to Hijack other's Posts, when I need to say something. Won't be able to Post Pictures though, have some lovely Ones Of The Carnival In Spain Last Sunday , where my Girls are all Dressed in explosive Colourful attire with Plumes & Head Dressing and Dancing in the Streets. Amazing Video's, They are in the Costa Blanca News and other Local Papers. Besos. XXX

What exactly happens (or doesn’t) when you try to post? 🤔

A Message comes up "Telling me I have to Join a Community" HU Admin have been trying to help, as yet no results.

in reply toHacienda

Strange, I access the site throughout the day with desktop, phone, iPad or laptop and never have a problem. I have noticed that a pop-up asks me to confirm that I accept cookies occasionally, more often than it used to do. You need to always accept them.

Hacienda in reply to

Afternoon Don, I have had my Computer checked with an IT Tech., I have had to make some changes for a Faster Flow, I had a Cookie "Pop up" Don't need this now all is ok here. My Phone is the same, so, I tend to think the Problem lies with them , Iris has the same problem, I have not heard any more from The HU Admin, Maybe like me, they are Baffled, LOL. XXX

I've decided I don't need one!

You don’t know how much you need one until you have one. 😀

I've got a tablet and a laptop! And Im old enough and smart enough to know when I dont need something. I definitely dont need a smart phone as well. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

in reply toRoadRunner44

Oh I did enjoy my pipe. 😥x

I got my smart phone (or my not entirely stupid phone, as I like to call it, because it’s not the smartest thing) for £79. It’s a Motorola something.

My phone just ran riot when tried to use that. Slide-to-type by word is a step to far for me.

HungryHufflepuff in reply to

I don’t understand that. I didn’t know it’s a thing at first. I thought it was just my phone going wrong. My phone never does it when I try but when I’m writing in a normal way it makes lines on the screen and writes meaningless words.

Great rhyme today, Don. I’ve never used a stylus but I type with my index fingers. I’ve tried with my thumbs but prefer fingers and I’m with you.

I love my smart phone . I use it for most things apart from internet banking and iPlayer and use an iPad for those. They are synched so photos are automatically saved on both, emails deleted etc. I have my store cards saved on it and use it for train tickets, boarding passes etc. I bought a new laptop last year but I hardly ever use it.

Keep texting!

Love

Corin
