Google Surprise

I had a $200 credit from Google that could be redeemed only in the online Google Store.

Google is huge, huge company.

My last encounter with their hierarchy took days of calling before I spoke with a person who resolved my problem quickly and efficiently.

Still smarting from that experience, I dreaded starting the process, but $200 is $200.

So, I decided today was the day to contact their support division. I was prepared to call day after day until I reached someone who could help me.

I was flabbergasted when I reached someone within a relatively short period of time.

Like magic my problem was resolved and my $200 credit was spent.

In a few days, I will receive a smart watch. I chose this because of the fall detection feature.

I fell a few weeks ago and hit my head on my kitchen counter.

All of this was caught on my security camera. My feet were in the air and the sound of whimpering was pitiful.

More pitiful was the reason I fell…tripping over a rake in my kitchen!

Of course, it could have been a mop, broom or even the vacuum cleaner.

Maybe I should not sweep, mop or vacuum my floors or rake the leaves in the front yard?

Seriously, this was a wake up call that I needed a plan in case I fell and could not get up.

I will let you know how life is with my new smart watch.

  1. Dang…you only fell once and made a plan to keep it from happening again?
    That’s downright proactive of you!
    I’m practically a professional tumbler by comparison – and it’s always something lame like a take or cat hair – and all I’ve done is bother to get mostly healed between tumbles.
    Might be looking forward to your next product review!

  2. I think you can make calls from your smart watch or an emergency alarm to someones number/ambulance etc by keeping it connected to your mobile phone via bluetooth. Now I haven’t looked at one of those watches for some time so please confirm that. But I do know they do just about everything but make a hamburger…oh, wait a minute, it can still probably order one for you 😀❤️🙏

  8. No smart watches herein fact I haven’t worn a watch in 4yrs mainly because the batteries died in my watches and I have been asking Tim to replace the batteries but he hasn’t. That said I am pleased you managed to spend the $200 without issue.

  10. Your falling is a commercial in the making. “Stroll into the kitchen. Trip over a rake like Jerry Ford. Fall with legs in the air. “Bang” goes the head on the counter. Whimpering from below the line of sight. Time to sell a smart watch”. I smell an Emmy in the making.
