Insomnia Thread...

[tommyg]

On my previous post I was referring to my bell pepper seeds.

[jreidsma]

I was talking about the basil plant you were thinking about getting

[Jananas Bananas]

Whew! I've got some pruney fingers! One more to go. I'm glad I didn't decide to do any more than THREE!

[tommyg]

oh lol. I did pick it up.
I just posted a pic on my blog of it.

Smells amazing!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Nevermind the smell...get it into some pasta!


Omg I can't live without basil and always have some onhand. In fact, I'm so addicted, I can't even eat pasta without it! So if you ever invite me over for spaghetti, be sure to have lots of fresh basil around!


I just got in. Boy is it cold and rainy out tonight. Good thing I brought my umbrella. It was wickedly windy too. Good to be back home in my warm & cozy apartment.


Oh yeah, I told Janan, but forgot to tell you guys...I finally found a winter coat on the weekend!!! It's purple and it has a hood with poofy purple fur all around it. I love it! So glad I finally found one, and it isn't black, brown, or grey. To me, those colors are more for guys, than girls. I also got a terrific deal on it too. It was on sale.


I put up my little mini xmas tree up yesterday. I have it lit tonight and you can see it from my window. Looks so pretty.


Well, I might post a shot or two as soon as my green tea is ready...


: )

[jreidsma]

Maybe I should get a pink coat or something an we can be the rainbow patrol or something weird sounding that I can make up on the spot

Forget pasta, just lick the plant

I prefer Chai tea, or something a bit spicy or something.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I have a pink coat too...but it's for Autumn. Too funny, Jordan.


So how do I delete an app from my iPad? Lots I don't know yet. Gotta keep reading. I've been buying iTunes and adding to my music library! So much fun.


Ok yeah Janan, that sounds good. So someone is essentially reading the book to you and you just listen? That would be too cool. I'm so glad I got this thing. What a great xmas present.


Did you check out my aero garden plants tonight? Everything is growing terrifically.


: )

[jreidsma]

Ok, so on your ipad screen. Hold your finger on the app you want to delete. All the apps should start jiggling and then touch the X in the corner of the app you want to delete.

I am pretty good with ipad's and ipods. So I am here to help

Just found a new musician to listen to This time I have something in common with them

[Jananas Bananas]

Audio books are very cool Sherry. Yes, I just got back on and saw your babies in the AG's.

Jordan we need to see your grow tails on the MicroToms! What musician is that?

Basil does smell good Tommy - it is a beautiful fast growing plant too. I love the purple ones!

Cam where are you?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Wow Jordan, thanks a lot!!! I've been trying to figure that out for 2 days! I guess you are an excellent person to ask. Thanks again.


Audio books do sound neat. Are they expensive and is it through iBooks? When you buy a song, movie, or book, do you get to keep it permanently?


The songs are only 99 cents but some are $1.29. They don't charge tax either so it's pretty cool. I just bought one of those iTunes giftcards to make it easy. I'm having a blast with this thing! Can't believe how long the battery lasts!


: )

[jreidsma]

My camera doesn't show the seeds very well. I will try again tomorrow, you might have to remind me though

Glad I could help Sherry

I record my songs off youtube with a free sound recorder I found

The musician I found is Kim Petras. I am more into faster songs though so I am only listening to one or two of her songs. I will be on the search for more songs tomorrow.

Sherry, do you know how to change the wallpaper of your ipad? I also know of a couple good wallpaper apps if you would like. Like "wallpaper box", "iwallpapers", "wallpapersHD" and such.

And then theres this one called "flower garden", you grow flowers and can make bouquets out of them and gift them to each other

And then the best of all, NYAN CAT!!! Also known as poptart cat!

I also have robot unicorn attack! MWAHAHAHA

[Jananas Bananas]

Yes, Sherry you can get them anywhere and yes they are yours to keep just like the music you are buying. I think you can get them at the same website you purchase your music through. Plus Amazon, and other places like that. No I don't think they are very expensive though higher than one song. The first time you get a good book read by an amazing reader you will be hooked, so be prepared! There are book clubs that you can get the downloads from also, that you can join and get good discounts on best sellers, favorite authors and such. I really think you will LOVE it!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Those sound cool, Jordan. I guess there's this other neat app where your iPad or iPod turns into a sketch board! Lines are drawn wherever your fingers move. Apparently it's free and a neat one to have for when you're bored...or even if you're a real artist. You can apply colors to your sketches as well!


Yup I know how to change the wallpaper and did already, but I'll check out those apps you mentioned too. That flower garden one sounds like such fun. Do you ever buy any of the apps, or just use the free ones? I hear the free ones are just as good.


Sounds just fabulous Janan!!! I am excited. I love to read but having someone read to me would be even better. How cool is that!!! Do they have current and modern books...ones that are currently in the bookstores? Is the selection good?


What about garden books? Can you get the reader to fast-forward to parts of the book you wanna hear and skip parts you don't? Sorry, but I know nothing.


: )

[jreidsma]

I have only spent $15 and it was for some apps I really wanted... Like robot unicorn attack!

I think you are talking about "doodle buddy".

[Jananas Bananas]

Sherry try a free one to see if you will like it. Yes you can get the best sellers and all the current ones.

Here's a couple of websites I just pulled up. I haven't used it so I don't know anything about them - but worth checking out.

Robot Unicorn Attack sounds like one I would like!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Janan, I'm just too tickled about this whole audio book reading. I was gonna download some xmas carols for December, to listen to. I wonder if they have the book 'twas the night before xmas'. I'd love to listen to the story when I'm in the mood.


Oh this is too much fun.


This guy was telling me that him and his mom play scrabble back and forth on their iPads. He made her get one because they live far away from each other so it's a great way to stay close.


I wish my grandparents would get a computer but they're afraid of them and think they won't be able to operate it. Whenever I bring it up, they are not receptive to the idea so I drop it. They miss out on stuff though. I just copy my pictures for them however at Wal-Mart and send them to them. My grandmother adores my plants and the pics I send.


Ok so there are free audio books to try! Wow, that's so cool Janan. I think you guys are trying to get me to keep this iPad! It's working.


Merry Christmas to me!


: )

[jreidsma]

If you want to get a new ipad, like a bigger one, then you can sync all the stuff from this one over to it. I havent done it ina while but I just synced my ipod to my computer, then went to set it back to factory setting. and it ask if you want to move it over to a new device or something.

I would try to find out from apple about that one, it has changed sense I got mine.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I was trying to attach my iPad to my computer last night, but the manual implied that the same cord used to charge the battery could also be used to attach my iPad to my laptop. Not possible though because one end plugs into an electrical wall outlet. There were no other cords in the box. Maybe I'll call the store in the morning and inquire. I am going to return this one though in exchange for a 64GB iPad. Then I can buy movies, books, videos, and songs GALORE!


I use the notes app a lot to keep a log of dates I sowed seeds and how long it took for them to come up. When I last watered and fertilized, etc. It's too handy and convenient.


I guess it's better to buy an Apple tablet because they're independent and virus-free, whereas other cheaper non-apple tablets are prone to a lot of problems with viruses. Glad I won't have to deal with that.


What do you mean a bigger one, Jordan? This was the only size iPad they have. Do you mean just a normal apple computer...like a mac? I'm not too sure. I have two laptops already but they're not apple.


It makes me want to sell all my other ones and buy nothing but apple though. They're too cool.


: )

[jreidsma]

By bigger i meant the 64GB one. More space o it.

I use linux on most of my computers its even more virus resistant then Apple is Then if you put anti virus on it also...

The plug in that goes to your ipad and to the wall should come apart. Where the cord meats the block thing, it should come apart there. Its then a plug in into your computer via USB
