Oh no I rarely wear mine on my wrist, I usually have it in my pocket or in my bag. It's more accurate anyway I feel, especially if you are using your arms for something else.

Do eeetttt!

Oh, I thought the whole point was to wear it on your wrist the entire time, haha

Oh yeah you're meant to, but it's fine on your hip apparently. For me I'm regularly doing things like pushing a pram or a trolley which keeps my wrists stationary so I find it will give a much more accurate readings if the device is not on my wrist. Plus I feel I look just a tad cooler.

Haha, oh okay! And you obviously wear it when you're in bed, or whatever, right? To track the sleep? It's all so weird to me, I don't understand how technology like this really works. In my mind, it really shouldn't work for some reason.

Yeah if you want to track your sleep you need to wear it bed. I actually agree, it's a bit creepy in a way that this tiny chip can gather all that data about me. Imagine our ancestors trying to understand it, very weird.

I love it, if I could implant a chip that would unlock the door for me to get into my house I would SO do it!

I was talking about this with Mr Jam the other night. Our grandparents just wouldn't recognize our world! Carrying phones around which can act like a whole library of encyclopedias! Chatting for free every day to loved ones overseas! TVs that are as thin as a manila folder and as big as a window! Eating broccoli! What the...???

Oh yes, that would be pretty sweet. It's only a matter of time I'm sure.

Yes totally crazy, it really is an exciting (but occasionally scary) time to be alive. Even just looking at the advances in the past 10 years is pretty staggering and kind of blows my mind, let alone those who grew up with none of this!
 
Whomever it was earlier - I think it might've been @Thing? - who mentioned the fried onions... tonight is now kransky with fried onions, homemade rolls and Greek salad night in our house. I swear maybe 15 minutes after I read that post and I mentioned to Mr B that I now felt like a sausage, the smell of frying onions wafted in our windows from somewhere and my husband and I just looked at each other and were like come the f on now. So thanks for the dinner suggestion! :)
