If unicorns were real, there would be more happiness in the world. Also, a real market for unicorn horns
HMmm Yeah there would be some sort of black market for that I would be all against it
For the black market, or the existence of unicorns?
The black market
Yeah, but the unscrupulous would take advantage of the (most likely) gentle nature of the unicorns and lure and kill them. Gruesome really. Also, Scotland would be validated for its national animal
Yeah I was actually thinking unicorns themselves were gruesome
Really? Why is that?
I mean why else would their horns have evolved to be so pointy?
Why did narwhals develop a horn/tusk? Or elephants
I don't know why?
Well narwhals use it to hunt, and find partners, and elephants use theirs for a variety of reasons, including protection
Interesting So maybe unicorns would use it for self defense? Or maybe it would have magical properties?
Those are possibilities, some books I've read make them out to have healing powers
Yeah sounds kind of like dolphins
Oh?
Dolphins rescue people don't they/ And they are super intelligent animals
Yeah, I saw a video of a dolphin retrieving a girl's phone after she dropped it into the ocean, and giving it back to her
Woahhhhh That is sooooo coool Was the phone water proof
No, unfortunately
Ohhh that is too bad What is the video can you show me the link?
Yeah, but the dolphin grabbed it all on its own That's pretty awesome https://youtube.com/watch?v=QMVQ_htobAg
I cant wait to see this
Why can't you watch now?
Wow that is so cool Ohh i just did
Ohh ok lol
I thought it was out on the ocean Was that at sea world or something'?
I don't know, I kinda assumed it was out on the ocean, like in the carribean, but it probably was at SeaWorld or somethign
Yeah It was still super awesome Definitely doesn't work XD
I hope the day that all electronics are waterproof is soon
Yeah The Apple Watch is and I think it is kind of cool You can swim with it but you have to turn it on water proof mood I believe And when you get out of the water out blows air through the holes and clears out any excess water
That's really cool! I didn't know about that
Yeah it is the only completely water proof one I have heard about I guess they have those speakers that float around in the pool but the fact that they float makes it easier to make them water proof
I know the Samsung phones have been waterproof for awhile and the newest iPhone(s?) are waterproof too
They are water proof down to 3 feet for 30 minutes
Oh, that's not very much That's like it's only waterproof if you drop it in the toilet or a puddle, or the sink.
Yeah but if you drop it in a lake in the pool or in the ocean then you are in trouble
Yikes, and I was so excited to film snorkeling someday soon
Yeah What type of phone do you have?
I have a currently nonworking iPhone 5
That's surprising that it is non-working.  That phone was the solid work horse of the apple fleet of phones. I think the only weakness of that phone is that the battery eventually wears out and wont stay charged long
I bought mine off Ebay, and when I got it, the battery was awful It won't hold a charge, period, and needs an external battery to even stay on
I have had mixed experience with buying phones off of ebay.  You never know if they have attempted to replace a broken screen and it is not OEM and has glitches.
This one was good, superficially, but the battery has given me grief for the past yer
Have you ever tried an android phone?
year
Do you feel like you would try to replace your battery yourself.  I have seen new batteries for those only costing $30
No I haven't had an android phone before, they really just confuse me, and I have seriously considered buying and replacing my battery
I have had friends replace their battery but I am worried that I would only make it worse.
Well, since it doesn't turn on at all now, changing the battery wouldn't harm the situation
For many years I was a PC fan.  I liked the flexibility with applications and devices.  But I seemed to get viruses on my computer that would eventually render it useless. Reluctantly I decided to try apple. But I really like the fact that I cant mess it up and I have never gotten a virus.
Yeah, apple is pretty great about that. Also, if you do mess up hard enough to need to factory reset your machine, all your info and stuff is backed up to icloud
Yes!  Very true.  That was critical for all the accidents that I had with my apple phones.
All of my contacts are saved to icloud, and that's really helpful, since I know that they're no longer on my phone since i reset it
My phones have had the ability to find water on their own.  They will find there way into a pool, toilet, sink, etc.  It's crazy all the water issues
I've only dropped one device into the water, and that was my cousins iPod 5. I dropped it from 20 feet into  a foot of water, and when we fished it out, it still worked It turned on right there
Wow.  Your lucky. Once I offered a zip lock bag to a friend to protect their phone.  They dropped it in the bag and the bottom broke and it went straight into the river.
Ooooohhh ouch
I was sick.  It was my friends nice phone.  What could I do? The river was deep and we dived in to get the phone, but it was toast.
That must have been awful. Was it new?
Newer than mine.
I can understand that
I actually ended up giving one of my old phones for a little while.  Funny thing is his dad was on a fishing trip the week or so before and had a water proof case and dropped It in the ocean and got it back but the case was not water proof The water proof case said it offered insurance if it ever failed.
So the case company paid for the phone?
I think that they offer insurance that is difficult to claim and they know their case often does not work I have a suspicion about insurance companies
Makes sense
I worked for a furniture moving company that offered the fabric protection for $100 per couch.
Did anyone ever claim it?
They taught me how to spray the fabric protectant on the couches.  They said to tell the people to leave the room and then lightly spray the couch and into the air I was confused and said how does that help protect the couch They said that the protectant was useless and that it was all about the insurance. They said that they make it very difficult to make a claim so that people just give up and live with the stain on their couch
That's not very honest
No!  I did not think so either.  They said the people first had to try cleaning the stain with soap and water.
And if that didn't work?
Then they had to send off for some special cleaner and try again.  Then they had to send to fabric in for treatment.  If that did not work then they could fill out the long Insurance form and wait six weeks.
But sending in the fabric for treatment would mean your couch is gone
They said its easy money because they almost never pay out claims.
They're not wrong
I didn't want to sell the service any more and told people not to do it.
Did the company hear about you doing that?
Have you ever had to deal with insurance companies and claims? No.  They never knew why their sales went down.  I did not work there long.  It was just during a summer to earn school money.
No I haven't, yet
Wow.  You are lucky. I really don't like dealing with medical insurance when I go to doctor or dentist
Yeah, I just can't wait to deal with all that in a few months
Some one backed into my car the other day.  Thankfully they left a note on the car.  So I called them and said I would like to get it fixed.  They acted like I was going to
going to what?
Be dishonest.  They thought I should have just said it was okay and not made a claim.
But you did
I told them I would do my best to work with the insurance company to keep the claim or repair as cheap as possible. It was crazy the price differences I got from repair shops.  It was a small dent and the price ranged from 600 to 2,000 for the same repair Insurance company this time offered to just pay me for the 2,000 because they said that they thought my car might be "totaled." It was a crazy.  No wonder car insurance is so high.
Did you take the $2000?
So I got it fixed for 6 00 and they still gave me the check for 2,000.
Nice
I told the person that hit me.  They complained to the insurance company but the insurance company said it was to going to affect their rate either way I don't believe them. Insurance is such a game.  I don't know who is to blame or how it can ever get fixed. Doctors charge twice their normal rate so that insurance companies can adjust it down by 50% and tell you that they were helping you save money
When I went on a trip to SF with my cousin, aunt and mom, we were getting on the freeway, and some guy came barreling through the median of a double lane of cars, and clipped our rental car. Insurance was a nightmare
Oh no!  Was anyone hurt in your car?
A bit shaken, it caught us off guard, and the guy was gone almost before we knew what happened
What surprises me is that someone does something crazy like that and then blames you for the accident or says that you should have avoided it The guy hit you and ran?
Yeah, he also hit like five other people
Wow.  Did he not stop for any of them!  Where is a cop when you need one
Right? Yeah, he drove straight down between two lanes of cars, clipping people, and after he hit us, he drove off to the shoulder and drove past more cars
Wow.  I keep getting passed by motorcycle riders driving in between parked cars.  I know I am going to witness an accident one of these times
Motorcycles are not nearly as safe as everyone thinks
What if someone did not see them and changed lanes suddenly.
It wouldn't be pretty
They say the average life expectancy of a bullet bike rider is 27 years old.  I am surprised it is that.  I have seen some crazy stunts on the highway
I wonder how long it is for like Harley riders I see a lot of older men on Harleys
Harleys make a lot of noise and look like they have some weight to them if they get hit.  But I bet its not as good as being in a car
Of course not
I saw a guy today on a Harley.  He had his radio blaring and a lit cigarette in his mouth.  I thought, how does that work.  Does the cigarette blow out or just burn real fast. They guy looked real relaxed like he did not care about anything.
Was it at a light or on the road?
No.  I was at a gas station and he pulled in to get gas and thru his cigarette on the ground.  I thought, "I better get out of here if that cigarette is live"
Yeah, that's probably one the reasons he threw it down
Well.  You have been nice to chat with.  I am down to only having one eye open and its gets fuzzy.  I need to sign off and go to bed.  I hope to talk to you again.
It was niceto talk to you too, have a goodnight's sleep
Thanx.  You too.
