TJ,

Question for you.  Does your Ipad take longer to charge than use the battery?

I was one it for about 6 hours straight last night (LOT-O-FUN stuff I was doing).  Anyway, drained it from 90%-12% in that 6 hours.  Plugged it in, and in the 6 hours it was charging, went from 12%-72%...  Typical?

Also, ate they really coming out with Ipad4?  I JUST bought a 3 not 4 months ago.

No .. it charges pretty quickly actually.  As long as I use the charger that it came with or my 4S charger.  Now if I use the phone charger from my daughters iPhone 4 or the cord I have plugged into the computer it takes forEVER.  Same if I use it to charge my 4S.

My battery lasts about 10 hours ... very consistent drain of about 10% per hour since I got it almost 2 years ago.   Usually fully charges in a couple hours after being drained (I never let it really get below 5% though)

Mine as well it charges pretty quickly with the supplied charger or the one I got later.  It charges the same with my iPad or my iPod chargers but I do not have an iPhone so I don't know about those chargers.

Hey, do you have the patience for puzzle games?  I was playing "The Room" last night for maybe 2 hours.  It's in the top ten of purchased apps and on sale now for 1.99.  I figured it was worth a try at that price and it got great ratings.  I also got plants vs zombies for 99cents.

Between those two, a couple other free games, and my book, I killed almost hours last night in bed.

It was perfect. I posted some quick deets in my log just now, but:

Beach
Pool
Drinks
Dancing
Reading

There were some crazy moments - scary shopping alone outside the resort, a girl I went out with being dumb and carrying her purse to the club and most of her stuff got stolen (and she LOST her shoes... sigh), much of the resort staff openly hitting on me and even coming to my room/calling me but  they were harmless.

I laid out and slept and read and ate and drank and did what I wanted. Really nice

Dude-ette.  That must be it.  I THINK I used the wife's iphone charger.

Describe the charger thingy to me to see if I'm using the right one...  Is it about a 1" cube or is it more like 1"x2"x2"?  I also have a big one I think I got a couple years ago that is more like 1"x2.5"x2.5"...

You need the bigger one.  It's the 1" cube one that does the slow charge for me. (see pic)

 

Well, that splains it...  I normally use the bigger one but never noted the time it took to charge.  Saw my wife's 4s charger already plugging in so docked my Ipad and was surprised that after a sleep, it was only 3/4 charged.

So there has been a school shooting threat going around my daughters high school for a couple months.  They finally arrested the boy behind it when he put it out there again last week, and they found "other" evidence to take it more seriously, that he was going to go through with it on Halloween.  They released him yesterday and suspended him from school for a week and the sheriiff's department is on campus all for security today.

Anyhoo .. my daughter was scared.  I told her she could stay home but if she did I wanted her to clean her room and bathroom ... she opted to go to school.  Takes a whole new meaning to "I'd rather get shot than clean my room, mooooom".   Sigh.

Oh wow.

Hope everyone stays safe and that boy gets the help he needs...

Honestly .. with the "zero tolerance" policies the schools have these days why is this boy even being allowed back to school after a one week suspension?  He was arrested, he made threats .. he blew it.  His stupid actions (whether his intent was real of not) got him a one way ticket out the door.  He doesn't deserve to go back or to any other school for that matter.  His parents can home school him. 

One week? Ridiculous. How are any kids or parents supposed to feel "safe". I know safety is really an illusion, but to KNOW he had/has plans is scary. Sorry you have to worry.

Not sure if there is any hard science behind my theory but I find that larger charger does the job much much faster.  My phone charges fully in about 45 minutes. 

 

So bigger is better?   all those women lied to me all those years!

Happy Halloween morning TAN.  

My son turns 18 today, dang I'm old.

Yes.  You are old.  Welcome to the club.  Punch and cookies are on the back table.

Please move to the back of the bus.

I had someone ask me if I was in the 50-55 AG after my tri the other day.  Buttmunch!

Awfully touchy about this "old" thing.

Clearly ... watch your tone ionslionscurecurse.

I'm not touchy about being old.  Just touchy about appearing older than I am.  Apparently I'm not aging well .Yell

As long as you look older than me I am good with that.

Thanks for that.

who cares about age? I do not feel 41 and I do not think I look 41 either. So it doesn't bother me what others think of how old I look or don't look!

One week? Ridiculous. How are any kids or parents supposed to feel "safe". I know safety is really an illusion, but to KNOW he had/has plans is scary. Sorry you have to worry.

X2. What do you have to do to get a 2 week suspension? kill someone? You make threats you are suspended for life if you ask me. That is one child who should be left behind...bars.

Woo Hoo No practice tonight so all I have to do is like an hour in the gym then I get the night off!!!

yay!  I have a quite physically taxing  CF HalloWOD at noon.  Brings new meaning to sweaty nooner!

I can't stand up straight today because my abs hurt so much and yet I'm supposed to both bike and swim today.  Not so sure that's gonna happen! 

Freaking A, I had a question for you and forgots...
