IWTL how to talk to my family
I was an only child and never spent time with my family until my parents split up. My dad is American and mom is Hispanic, we never had a past of doing anything together so I don’t know what we can do or talk about together. I want to discuss deep, meaningful but also possibly interesting conversations. Stories, what we have learned, the meaning of life, values, etc. what do you guys think? Do you have any recommendations?
Get ready for family picture guys!
YSK: In case you ever lose your Android phone, there is an applet which turns its ringer up to 100% if you text it
I’ve seen products such as the Trackr pixel out there which make your phone ring if you’ve lost it, even if it was on silent. I thought I’d share a free alternative to this.
All you need is a free account with If This, Then That. Once you have an account, you can set up this applet.
Essentially, when your phone receives a text with a specified keyword/phrase, its ringtone will be turned up to max volume.
Edit: If you have an Alexa or Google Home, there are also more direct ways to find your phone via the same site here and here, respectively.
