Kindle Fire

I have a Amazon Kindle Fire and have been trying to get the Dish Anywhere app to work on it. The Fire had been running slow and I did a resent to manufacture settings and then reloaded the items I have on it and that did not work now the Dish App will not work at all.

I called Dish tech support and ended up moving thru several layers of tech support and then was shifted to a different person and he said you want to cancel and I was like no I just want them to fix my app so it works.

So for some reason I must of been a pain to the person trying to help me so he moved me to someone else. I had to laugh as I did not want to cancel so he offered me 5 dollars off my bill for 6 months. I said thank you and accepted that as they did not seem to have a clue on how to fix the Kindle app for Dish Anywhere.

Today I decided what did I have to loose and called Amazon customer support. I got a nice lady that listen to my scenario of what was going on and she had me do a hard boot of the kindle so that it shut off all application and then restarted it.  I was having problems connecting to the Internet at work so we could not complete the steps she wanted to try so they are to call me back when I am home.

We settled on a time for them to call and it will be interesting to see how this all carries out. I will be happily surprised if they call me back and we do work something out when I am home.

Time will tell what works on this challenge.

End of March

I attempted to post something using my phone but that did not work out well for some reason it will not post to the blog any more.

I got a new phone back a while ago it is a Samsung Galaxy 7 no more Note Phone I still miss that phone but it was time to give it up as it was miss behaving more an more.

I am not in love with my new phone but it will do what I want and I guess that is all we can ask for in new toys. The sill thing is expensive but then I guess that is what phones are now days none of them are cheap. I sort of wished I had gotten an iPhone after I picked the Galaxy. I even went back but decided I did want to pay another fee to return it 35 bucks. Plus I was not sure I would love the other phone any more then the one I have.

I been working on making these bags to give away at a Masonic Lodge event that a friend is being inducted into some office. He needs a gift for the ladies at the meeting while the lodge meets.
So far I have 16 of these done an of coarse need to make 3 more.  They are little zippered bags like a pencil case type of thing.
