Hot Tech Tips to Prepare for Cold Weather

VALLEY AUCTIONS

Follow these tips from T-Mobile to keep your tech working so you can stay connected all winter long.

• Keep it Charged. Charging your phone, smartwatch and other devices in temperatures below 32 degrees can affect the battery by reducing its efficiency, causing slower charging rates and potentially leading to a shorter overall battery lifespan.

• Bundle Up Devices. Winter is the season for cozying up, and your device’s battery loves warmth too! When heading outside, tuck your device inside your jacket or pants pocket. For quick calls, opt for using ear buds or headphones with Bluetooth, allowing you to keep your phone nicely nestled. This will also help keep it dry while you’re shoveling the walkway or building a snowman.

My sister asks, “So, how did you meet?” They kind of giggled and asked each other, “Should we tell them?” They said they met through the LBYL column.

My sister and I decided we would try our fare at meeting “Mr. Right”. (BTW, my cousin and his wife are still married and hopelessly in love.) My sister didn’t have much luck, but in January 1992, I saw this ad that kept drawing my attention. As described, he really wasn’t what I was looking for, but...

We met later that month for the first time; got engaged in 1993 and married in 1994.

Luckily, there are a variety of products Myth #4: Only old available to create homes require weatherization.

Weatherizing can make even newer, more energy-efficient homes more comfortable and less costly to heat and cool, while also protecting homes from the damaging effects of the elements throughout the year.
