We all need to be heard for a little while.

If it's technology I'm normally on it like a tramp on chips. If it's clothes I like to look at them, and stroke them and lay them out on the bed and look at them again.

Ok. I decided to woman up. Unpacked my hookah thingy and took a few pulls. I don't feel anything but it smells like mango.

As far as I know (never used one) it has a data allowance like a mobile phone and you plug it into the laptop like a memory stick.
Then the internet fairy waves their magic wand and hey presto you're connected.
(That last bit may not be strictly accurate, but I've reached the outer limits if my technical know how.)

Can you plug one into an iPad? I don't have a laptop.

Also, can you use them abroad? Like, if your hotel doesn't have free wifi?

That's me too! As well as my blender thingy, I also got my new trainers through today....straight on my feet! That's why I love internet shopping, parcels through the post!

Code, I can understand why you've hidden it away though. Maybe leave it for today and dig it out again tomorrow or when ever you're feeling a bit better. I bought some of that once (not the hookah, just the oil), and it's blooming horrible....but obviously that was taking it off a spoon though!

You can get them for ipads. AFAIK, you'd have to pay roaming rates abroad which are expensive. I think the three one you can use in some countries without being charged roaming rates. Or you could be clever and buy one from the country you're going to.

Oh I got some oil too but it's vanilla flavoured I think. I thought I'd try it later so I know if either of them work.

Tea, in the nicest possible way, stop stressing about FOH's lack of organisation. He's a grown man and can sort himself out. You're not together anymore so it's not your problem if he has power or internet.

I bought myself a disposable CBD hookah and some CBD oil, as I've read it's supposed to help me with the pain and/or put me to sleep. They were delivered earlier and I've now decided I'm frightened of them and hidden them in a box in a cupboard under some books in case they escape. What's the matter with me?

What's CBD, and THC?

Am I just dense today, or am I not as streetwise as I thought I was? :rotfl:

Actually, I am quite dense today.

CBD is Cannibidiol which is found in cannabis. It is legal and supposed to help with anxiety, insomnia and pain relief.

THC is tetrahydrocannabinol which is also found in cannabis but is the psychoactive ingredient (in other words, the part that gets you high).

So far, all it's done is make my mouth feel a bit odd.

Code is the expert, but AFAIK there are 2 sorts of ipad/ tablets generally. The sort where you can take your own internet around with you, and the sort where you need wi fi.


With the mobile internet sort, you don't have a dongle, you just use the SIM inside the tablet. Dongles I have met all have a USB connection, and not many tablets have a (full size) USB socket. Which is a shame, cos otherwise in theory you would be able to use a dongle with the sort of tablet which needs wi fi. (I think!)


You can also tether your tablet to your phone and use that for wi fi (but it can be expensive, especially abroad).

I'm really not. I'm an android girl.

Ah yes, but I was being more generic than that and talking about tablets generally. (BTW I understand that apple stuff doesn't - or didn't - like being tethered to non-apple stuff )
