I want to get away from Amazon devices. So I plan to research what is available. I know Google has one. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Once I get new ones I will close my Amazon account due to them donating to rumps ballroom.
It's time for me to get dressed for the auction. It's only 43 right now so I know what I will be wearing. A couple of layers of warm clothes.
I will finish notifications when I get home. Hope you have a good day.

I have a problem with them donating to help build a vanity ballroom. I know many companies donate to the different party candidates. That is different than petting his ego

@LadyDuck I started getting mad at Amazon when they announced they were going to show the cost of the tariffs on the product page so the customer knew and then when the orange god cried they dropped that idea. They are serious licking his a$$

Huge list of donors. Makes me sick. It's going to look like Mar-a-Lago.

@MarieCoyle It really is disgusting. Especially as it isn't needed. And is going to be extremely ugly. It seems all of the high tech companies are donating to appease the orange god.

I honestly don’t think it’s even possible to avoid supporting all that donate. But we can try.
They have to kiss the ring.

It's hard, especially since a lot of them donated.

I am sure glad you trying to get away from Amazon devices and I wish a lot of others would too. I dislike Amazon for a lot or reasons. I wasn't aware they had donated to his ballroom. These big companies are so $$ hungry. Will they ever have enough? Microsoft is on the list too.
Brrr! Some of our mornings have been in the mid 40s. That's cold enough but it's going to drip into the 20s and 30s this next week.

@celticeagle Thinking I will just keep using what I have at least until they stop working. But I am done shopping on Amazon.

I am not finding a smart system that is made by a company that hasn't donated.

I don't know anything about speakers. We don't own any.
It's cool outside here today with the rain/storms. I hope you have fun today.

@wolfgirl569 I use my phone for timers and lists.
The house was down to 65F yesterday afternoon so I set the heat at 70F and turned it on. The thermometer in my room shows 73F now.

The wind is what makes it feel so cold. We didn't have that today at least.

I hope you had fun at the auction. I had no idea about Amazon. I don't have smart speakers; so I'm afraid I can't help.
