What do you ask Alexa for the most?
« on: October 24, 2022, 10:27:08 am »
In my case it's every morning when I fix my Oatmeal for breakfast I ask her:

Alexa, time 10 minutes.

The same for me, I love that I can have multiple items cooking with a separate timer for each one.  Just name them so you know what it for what.

Didn't know I could do this. Multi-tasking with timers on Alexa. What will they think of next?  8)

That's not all, you can set up multiple sticky notes to remind you what timer to set next.

I most often ask her for the weather and to turn on/off lights in our living room or bedroom. Every once in a while I will ask her to play a song that is playing in my head.

Why waste time having Alexa play it if it's already in your head??   :confused1: Good grief! :sad1:

I always have to sing "This Is The Song That Never Ends" (Shari Lewis) repeatedly to get songs out of my head.

Guess I'm old fashioned. I have no desire to have any of those things.

I ask Alexa to time my food cooking and to turn off the lights. I also ask her about my orders from Amazon.

I don't have Alexa and have no desire to have it. On my phone, I get messages from something that wants to know what I want it to do....my answer is for it to stop asking me what it wants it to do.  Nothing and leave me alone. 

I will say that the timer deal sounds great, especially with multiple times but I have a manual timer that doesn't talk back .

What is even more fun for me is I have all our trip photos stored on Amazon Prime Photo Album and it keeps a slide show running on my Amazon show with all those memories constantly in front of me. I used to have a digital picture frame, but it was a hassle to keep updating all the time, but now it happens automatically.
