Heart Trauma Recovery

I recently purchased a three pack of high dollar compression socks. They are made from 63% viscose made from bamboo fibers, 29% polyester, 5% Elastane, and 3% nylon. Wello is the brand name and though they feel tight to begin with, they provide support and comfort the entire day without discomfort. I like the way they make my legs feel and I like the color of my toes after a long day. I highly recommend these sock though they are thirty bucks a pair. If you need to wear them, it's a small price for the comfort.

For the longest time..

Ah, let me rewind and make it clearer . On your Moto 2022, the lock screen clock isn’t fixed in one spot. It actually shifts position depending on how many notifications are showing.


  • If you have no or few notifications, the clock sits lower, more centered.
  • If you get several notifications, the system moves the clock upward to make room so everything stays readable.
  • When you clear those notifications, the clock slides back down again.

So what you saw this morning — the clock moving up and down — was just your phone dynamically rearranging the lock screen layout. It’s normal behavior, not a glitch.


Do you want me to walk you through how you can customize your lock screen style (like clock design, font, or layout) on your Moto, so you can make it feel more stable or personal?





Thank you Copliot!

Funny real life stories...

A lady I mow for told me a funny story. It worked out where she attended her granddaughter's kindergarten conference. The teacher relayed this story... She asked the class what is in your yard, green, and you step on it. Alie was quick to raise her hand and said I know I know. The teacher said okay Alie.. what is in your yard, green and you step on it. Alie proudly replied... Goose Poop!

RCS texting , non google chat.

what do you mean that you receive and reply individually in group text? are the messages not in one conversation? do you only see individual replies and onoy send text to an individual? i use google messages and i have no issues with group texts with people in the group who have icraps or android phones.

try looking at your group messaging settings. or maybe try a different messaging app.
I do not like using much google messenger since it stinks sometimes, but yeah I have tried Next Sms like forever ago, and you posted in this thread. So messenger bit the hand it feeds you man.

That reminds me of a story to share that pretty much dates me. When I was growing up, the neighbors invited the entire neighborhood to their house to watch the Rose Bowl Parade on their new color TV.
I'm sure it was the first color TV on the block. Kids sat cross legged in the floor, ladies behind us in lawn chairs, and the men stood behind to take in the new wonder of the ages. The Rose Bowl Parade in color. 🤣

Turn your phone into a beautiful, live sound level meter.

NoiseCraft shows how loud your world really is – from quiet rooms and offices to busy streets, concerts and roaring engines. Watch the arc gauge, follow the history graph, set custom alerts, and tune the app to match your microphone and your ears.

Real-time dB meter for everyday use

NoiseCraft uses your phone’s microphone to estimate sound level in decibels (dB). It’s perfect for:
* Checking how loud your environment is.
* Comparing traffic noise on different streets
* Monitoring music volume in your car or studio
* Keeping an eye on loud tools, machines or appliances
* Seeing how noisy a café, bar, gym or club really is

Everything is shown in a smooth gauge plus a scrolling graph, so you can see how the sound changes over time.

️ Clean gauge with live categories

* Elegant semi-circular gauge that moves like a car speedometer.
* Color gradient from cool blue to hot red as the sound gets louder
* Big, readable current dB display in the center
* Live Min / Avg / Max values so you see how the noise evolves
* Instant noise categories, such as:
---- Very quiet
---- Quiet room
---- Conversation / Office
---- Busy street
---- Very loud
---- Dangerous

The current category is highlighted in color, so you always know where you are on the loudness scale at a glance.

History graph & acoustic trends

NoiseCraft keeps a time chart of the sound level:
* Smooth line chart of recent dB values
* Adjustable Y-axis range (e.g. focus on 40–100 dB)
* X-axis in seconds, so you see how noise changes over time
* Great for comparing different rooms, windows, doors, or microphones

Perfect for audio enthusiasts, musicians, DJs, podcasters, streamers and acoustics nerds who want more than just a single number.

Smart noise alerts & thresholds

* Stay in control of loud environments:
* Set your own dB threshold (e.g. 80 dB, 85 dB, 95 dB…)
* When the level goes above the threshold, you can enable:
Sound alert
Haptic vibration

Use it to remind yourself to turn the volume down, close a window, move back from a speaker, or take a break from the noise.

️ Fine-tune your microphone & smoothing

Not all microphones are the same – so NoiseCraft lets you calibrate and smooth:
* Mic gain slider (–10 dB to +10 dB) to adapt to your device
* Smoothing slider to choose between ultra-responsive or calmer readings
* Optional calibration offset, so you can match another meter or your own reference

This makes NoiseCraft more useful for relative measurements (before/after, here/there, this setup vs that setup).

Themes & customization for audio geeks

Make the app match your style and your setup:
* Light, Dark, or System theme
* Choose your needle color for the gauge
* Choose your category highlight color
* Choose your graph line color

Whether you’re using NoiseCraft on a phone, tablet or in landscape mode on a stand, the layout adapts for a clear, studio-style dashboard look.

Share your sound snapshots

Want to show someone how loud it really is?
* Share text summaries (current / min / max / average dB)
* Share a screenshot of the gauge and history graph

Great for sending to friends, neighbors, building managers, bandmates or colleagues.

⚠️ Important disclaimer

NoiseCraft is designed for convenient, everyday noise awareness and relative comparisons.
It is not a certified professional sound level meter, and it must not be used for official, industrial, safety, medical or legal measurements.

Always follow your local regulations and protect your hearing responsibly.

If you love sound, music, acoustics and clean visual tools, NoiseCraft gives you a beautiful dB meter, history analyzer and alert system in your pocket.

TV Shows?

Not being able to ride my bike the last two days, I watched a few of the first season episodes of Elementary on Prime. Its debut was in 2012 and I tried to watch a couple of the shows. The show is fairly heavy in dialog and at the time, without hearing aids, I struggled to follow the show.

Hearing Health and Hearing Aids

My buddy got his new hearing aids last Monday. I text him asking how he likes them. He said I'm hearing way too much. :) I understand that. I feel the same with mine. I hear things I've never heard before. I have a battery powered wall clock that I've had on my office wall for years that I now hear ticking. I'm learning to boot the aids app on my phone after turning on the phone in the mornings. The aids work flawlessly without the app for hearing but to stream audio and notifications and phone calls, the app needs to be booted. My audi said that isn't the way they work but it's the way they work with my S21. Not a big deal. I'm also learning not to vocalize my feelings about the sports I'm watching. I get too loud and it cuts the ambient volume and then slowly brings it back up. I mowed the leaves in my yard while wearing the aids. They did a fair job of suppressing the harmful volume of the engine. My Bose buds do a better job. No complaint. I don't intend on wearing aids to mow. It was only a test.

To sum up this mini review, I'm very pleased with my Sennheiser Sonite R aids that are made for Costco by Phonak. They are working really well for me all day on a charge without a problem. They are hearing aids and not a hearing fix like every other brand of aid. My buddy and my son's MIL all just bought aids from Costco and we all went with different brands. All three of us are very happy with our purchases. I think Costco upped their game.
