It's a tv comedy series on Netflix. Just 9 episodes. I think kids can watch but there are a couple of scenes kind of not appropriate, but funny for us adults.If you watched Mr bean, you are familiar with how Rowan sometimes acts inappropriate but in a childish manner,so we laugh at his actions.I am a big fan of Mr bean.

I happen to like Pikachu. I did the whole Pokemon thing with my boys---movies, card collecting, etc.
It's hard to find any decent movies anymore. They have to be rated PG, it seems. So much bad language. Do people have to use f--ing as an adjective so much? It's a sign of a weak vocabulary, I'd say. |

Yeah my husband did all this with his kids too so no surprise grandbaby is into it. Neither I nor mine liked those goofy things. But I know it could be fun if one likes it. My husband had to uninstall the app from his phone because he was going around doing Pokémon stuff bumping on things, at 56. Haha This stuff is addictive! |

My hair is really bushy right now. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday I'll venture out to Great Clips while running other errands.
Back to hobbies and interests, do any of you play any games on the Internet? I play lots of Scrabble with a computer, since I have no real-life Scrabble players at the moment. |

Also the battery isn't robust, it runs down so fast, and it needs to be charged so much, which annoys me. And I know the more I charge it, the faster it will wear out. I used to play Scrabble a lot in real life, but I got sick of it. There's a similar game called Upwords, made by the same company. It's the same concept except you can stack the letters to make new words. They are larger tiles and designed to be stacked, so they don't fall over easily. The board is much smaller, and in my opinion it's harder because words can change completely if you change enough letters. And you don't have far to expand since the board is smaller. I hope to find someone in a few weeks to give me a trim on my hair. It's so unruly now I usually put it up. I have to find someone who will give me the curls I want again too. __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here. "Okay, enough photos.

I play solitaire. Both cards and mahjong. Not as often as I used to when I had a computer. I had lots of games back in the 00’s puzzles, Pictionary, Travis games, and paint. After my computer died all I have in my mini iPad so everything is tiny. I was interested the junes clues or something like that but I’ve read some reviews and it sounds like it’s changed not for the better since it came out. So I just make do with solitaire.

Does anyone else like or play mah jong? It's popular at the senior center. I haven't tried it but it seems like a lot of people like it. The beginner's class is on a day and time I don't like. What's the difference between a mini iPad, iPad, and tablet? Does your mini iPad have a keyboard, meaning a separate physical keyboard? Or it's just on the screen? I swear I don't even know the differences between all that and a laptop. Right now I'm going to catch up on some reading, as I've had a long morning and enough of screens at the moment. __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here.

We played tons of board games in the summer. Mum and I would go up north for the summer and various cousins join us. We’d even take the games out to the pontoon and play on the lake. We played tons of card games too. Including a version of uno before uno came out with their deck marked especially for uno. But mostly we played 500. It was a game any age could play.
I’ve played mahjong in Texas when I lived down there. At the senior center. It’s fun. I was familiar with the tiles from playing solitaire and I found it easy to learn. If you go a few times to the beginning classes then you can switch to a more convenient time. It’s fun. The senior center here doesn’t have mahjong. As far as I know the only difference between iPad and mini iPad is the size. The key pad comes up on the screen. I’m not familiar with tablets so I don’t know if they are different. Minis are I think 5x7 or so, so bigger than a phone. But still small compared to my desktop that I used to have. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Mahjong isn't offered around here--just games like Bridge.
Getting back to movie ratings. I did a doubletake when I saw one of the warnings for a new PG movie is "smoking." That's interesting.... |

Geez smoking gets a pg rating but killing people with guns is also pg? Soo much violence should have an r rating. I duneo I never understood rating systems. I was positive that cactus flower was rated r way back when it came out. It was the second feature at a drive in theaters and my parents told me I couldn’t watch it but of course I did. It has suicide in it and adult situations but it’s pg! That surprised me.

Talking about tablets.
If one wants to have something bigger than a phone and rather not buy expensive Ipad, various kindles are great. We have kindles of all sizes and configurations. We went through kindle obsession period for awhile. They last forever. None we have ever broke. Small ones could be as cheap as $30, that’s the cheapest we got one time on Black Friday. You can play games, watch tv, stream anything, read, email, look up stuff and you can have separate kindle for just reading etc No I don’t work for kindle hahah I just heard people often complain not having a computer or tablet and ipad is too expensive (it is!). Too many people don’t know about kindle and it’s capabilities! Highly recommend |

Oh yeah tv shows sometimes have warning like “smoking”. I know they always have “drug use” warning but smoking must be new?

On my smartphone I like the android app Classic Words which is like Scrabble against the computer.
On the computer I like Outspell. You have to watch an ad but the game is like scrabble revved up. For example Triple word scores are active no matter how many times you use them. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

The ratings system is flawed for sure, and it hasn't always been around! I agree that stuff like suicide especially and other adult situations should be R, not PG! I saw Cactus Flower too but on cable I think, years after it came out. I like Goldie Hawn. __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here. "Okay, enough photos.
