Left pocket holds phone and keys. Right pocket holds earbuds and wallet.

Are you left handed?

If so, BURN HIM! /joke

No, I just take my butt very seriously.

We should all make fun of your butt. We’ll call this exercise a rump roast.

I’m sorry warbler, it’s never fun being the butt of other people’s jokes.

Hopefully we can put this all behind us now and put an end to it.

Don’t mind me I just came in on the tail-end of the conversation.

Well, I got a smart phone! I am no longer living in the dark ages. The prices of smart phones with the service provider I was going with came down. I got a Galaxy S7.

Congrats! I’ve got an S6 so yours is newer than mine.

I’ve got one of the cheap 50 dollar alcatel phones they sell at Walmart for straight talk. Don’t see any reason to get anything better.

Just to make clear, I have a Galaxy S7 with Android Nougat. I am having trouble with some wifi networks. Some for reason, with some wifi networks, when I try to long onto them, I get a message “connected, no internet”. This doesn’t happen with all the wifi networks I try to log onto, just some, and I don’t think it is a case of the wifi network itself not being connected to the net. For instance today, I was in a Macy’s Department Store and tried to get on their wifi, it said “connected, no internet”.

Anybody have any advice for these situations. Thanks in advance.

Some public WiFi networks require you to accept their terms of service before you can actually connect. It’ll say that until you agree to the terms - usually there’ll be a push notification that says something like “complete network setup,” but sometimes you have to navigate to a website (any will do), at which point it’ll redirect you to their ToS page.

Thank you, I will try that the next time it happens. When I see “no internet”, I normally think “what is the use of trying to bring up a website, when it says no internet?”

Yeah I’ve had that happen a few times as well where I just had to open the browser and pretend to go to a site

Yeah. I used to pretend I had a smartphone too.
