Alexa Freaked Me Out Yesterday

[BlueKota]

Weirdest thing happened yesterday, and it involved Davy Jones. My sister, my cousin, and I were sitting in my living room, just chatting. All of a sudden my Echo Show started playing "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You." No one in the room had asked Alexa to do or play anything. It just started playing at random. It's kind of cool to think maybe Davy was saying hello from the afterlife, but I don't know why he would, because I never met him, but he was my first celebrity crush when I was little.[link:http://

1. Wasn't he the cutest?

What a great video.

[BlueKota]

6. He was.

Loved his accent too

10. I was a Micky fan, actually.

But Davey was adorable.

14. Micky was my second favorite

although his vocals are my favorite. Peter made me laugh the most. I didn't appreciate Mike as much when I was younger, but over time I have come to realize how gifted a song writer he was.

2. I loved him as a kid. And something strange happened to me, too.

It was garbage day and I stuffed the garbage in the can and pushed down on the lid leaving about a 6 inch gap, but it was firmly down. I turned around to my car and fiddled with topping off the oil. I added a little at a time to the full mark. It took a few minutes and I put the hood down and turned to see the garbage can lid was standing up, open all the way and leaning against the wall of the garage.

There was no wind that day and putting the hood of the car down did not cause enough breeze to lift the lid of the garbage can and I KNOW it was down because I squashed it down.

We have strange things like this at our house a lot.

3. Ol' Davey loiked to 'ave his bin left open, 'ee did."

5. They're heeere. Poltergeists in the garbage.

[BlueKota]

7. That is strange

4. Every once in a while Alexis'll pop of with something, but the two us being a bit deaf never ...

... understand what it is. I don't think we've purposely talked to her in over two years. Just sits there flashing blue.

[BlueKota]

8. I used to think the people

who said voice assistants were spying devices were paranoid but lately I am thinking maybe they have a point. 🤷‍♀️

[marble falls]

9. Me, too. Maybe getting old and boring is good defense strategy...

If she is, I'll be in big trouble if TFG or Puddingfingers wins! (As if)

[BlueKota]

11. Me too about TFG and his enablers

I frequently go off on talking to myself rants, in my home, about how much I truly can't stand them, and how I wish putting curses on people actually worked.

[marble falls]

12. I found my anxiety has almost disappeared along with the eyebrow twitch since I vent on TFG.

13. 👍

That's why I love DU! So many kindred spirits
