How to set up menstrual tracker on Garmin watch?
My watch model is compatible with this feature. I already downloaded the widget from Garmin IQ Apps. The widget now appears on my watch, but only says "Use Garmin Connect to setup menstrual cycle tracking."
I've been to Garmin Connect. I've set the information for my cycle, including the most recent dates. Multiple times I've synced the watch and disconnected from the computer. But the watch itself is still saying the above message about needing to set up the tracking.
Garmin's website is useless. I've followed the instructions there, and it doesn't give anything more specific than what I've already been doing.
Has anyone successfully set up this widget on their Garmin?
Other - Electronics6 months agoWhat do I do if I downloaded a suspicious email attachment on my phone? ?
I got an email that was, in retrospect, clearly fake. I realized this before I opened the attachment but after I downloaded it. I deleted it right away, but I'm worried the damage was done by downloading it.
What should I do? If I'd downloaded it on my computer, I would run a virus scan. But my phone doesn't have any such program as far as I'm aware. (I have a Samsung Galaxy S5.)
Thank you!
1 AnswerSecurity1 year agoDual monitor setup with identical monitors - why do the monitors look different?
I set up a laptop w/a docking station, keyboard, & 2 identical monitors such that when the laptop is closed, I can work off of the 2 monitors. However, despite the monitors being the same model, they have different recommended resolutions. When I go with those, one of the monitors shows everything as larger/more "zoomed in" than the other. But if I change the resolution, everything on that monitor gets slightly blurry.
The laptop is Windows 7. The monitors are Dell E1916H. The docking station is Dell E-Port Plus Model PR02X.
When I right-click on the desktop and hit "screen resolution," this is what I see:
-For the "good" monitor, the "Display" drop-down says DELL E1916H and the "Resolution" drop-down says "1366 x 768 (recommended)." The "Multiple displays" drop-down says "Extend desktop to this display," and it states "This is currently your main display." This monitor is connected to the docking station w/a DP cable.
-The "problem" monitor says "Non-PnP" in the "Display" drop-down. (I'm not sure why it wouldn't say E1916H like the other one.) The "Resolution" drop-down says "1024 x 768 (recommended)." The "Multiple displays" drop-down says "Extend desktop to this display." There is a checkbox for "Make this my main display" that is currently not checked. This monitor is connected via a VGA cable.
How can I get the second monitor to look like the first one? The only difference I can think of between the two is that they're connected with different cables.
Thank you!
2 AnswersMonitors2 years agoPokemon Go: At what level should I start evolving Pokemon and hatching 10k eggs?
I've read that you shouldn't bother evolving Pokemon you catch at the "lower levels," because when you're a "higher level," you'll catch Pokemon that are stronger to begin with. I.e., it's a waste of stardust and candy to evolve/power up Pokemon at the beginning because the Pokemon you catch later will be at a much higher starting point.
I've also read that you should wait to hatch your 10k eggs until you're a "higher level," because you can get really good Pokemon from them, but only if you're at a high level.
So what is considered the cutoff point for these "higher levels" at which it's worth it to start evolving Pokemon and hatching 10k eggs? I know I'm getting into the Pokemon Go game a bit late, but I'm having a blast with it so far! Thanks! :)
1 AnswerVideo & Online Games4 years agoHelp! How do I set up health insurance through ADP?
I'm currently eligible to set up health insurance through my employer through ADP. I went to the ADP portal, https://portal.adp.com,/ at work earlier this week, logged in, and saw the insurance options. That's the page I want to get to.
Now I'm trying to access it from home, but when I enter that exact same URL, it doesn't accept my user name and password. It will accept a different user name and password, and then it takes me to a page where I can view all my pay stubs, but that's it.
How do I get to the page where I can change my health insurance? I don't understand why I'm going to the exact same website and it won't let me in. ADP is useless; they tell me to contact my employer directly, and they're not available on the weekend.
Thank you!
2 AnswersInsurance5 years agoMaking a DVD at Walmart?
How well does this work? Will it be a DVD that you can actually pop in a DVD player and watch on TV? Can you only put one video on it, or is it like a movie DVD where you can make a menu with multiple options to click on?
I'd like to make a DVD for my grandparents with a few simple movies (just pictures set to music, basically). Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks!
1 AnswerTiVO & DVRs6 years agoDoes there exist a Christmas movie like this?
We were trying to pick out a Christmas movie, and my dad lamented that we didn't have a movie that was like "A Bronx Tale" meets Christmas. Basically, a Christmas movie with mafia/gangsters/violence.
So, does such a movie exist? Suggestions are appreciated. If I can find such a movie, I will definitely be getting it for my dad for Christmas. ^.^
Thanks!

4 AnswersOther - United States7 years agoWhat's a good charter/air taxi company?
I'm looking into booking an air taxi flight, but I don't even know where to start. I need this to be as CHEAP as possible. A lot of the results I see when I search for air taxi companies are clearly geared towards rich people. I'm not a wealthy business person; I don't care about luxury. I just need a super-cheap flight that can take me from point A to point B. Anyone know of a company that does this?

2 AnswersAircraft7 years agoHow to transfer texts from phone to computer with MicroSD card?
I have just a regular Samsung phone, not a Smartphone or anything. My computer is a PC.
I transferred the texts to my MicroSD card, but when I plug it into my computer and open the my_messages folder, I can't see the messages. There seem to be lots of files there; they have names like ems_125, sms_10, and sentems_348. (The numbers are widely variable; I just put in a few random examples.)
However, when I click on any of these files, instead of seeing the text message, an Internet browser opens up. The only text on the page includes the phone numbers involved in the exchange, the date and time, and then a phrase along the lines of "Normal read ems sentbox unlocked."
How can I get it so that I'm seeing and saving the actual content of the text messages?
Thanks!
3 AnswersCell Phones & Plans7 years agoBest way to transfer VHS to DVD?
I'm looking to transfer some old home videos to DVD. But there are so many factors involved, I'm not sure where to start.
I know that Walgreens and Walmart offer this service for a very good price. However, Walgreens, for example, sends your VHS tapes to Arizona to be transferred. These are very old, irreplaceable tapes, and I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of having them shipped so far away. Also, I'd like to be able to put the footage in my computer afterwards to mess around with it, but Walmart says it's not possible to give you raw footage; instead, they just send you a DVD that's meant to be popped into a player and watched.
Are there any places that transfer footage on the spot, and that give it to you in a format that can be edited? Or do I have to buy my own home transfer device if I want that?
Thanks!
2 AnswersOther - Electronics7 years agoHow old is too old for kids to ride in a shopping cart?
This is kind of a silly question, I know. I'm writing a short story where a nine-year-old girl asks her mom to ride in the shopping cart at a store. But it's been a long time since I've been nine, so I'm wondering if that's plausible nine-year-old behavior, or if a nine-year-old would be too old for that.
Parents with kids around that age, what do you think?
Thanks!
8 AnswersGrade-Schooler7 years agoDoes Turbo Jam really work?
I'm considering buying it, but it's over $70 all said and done, so I want to make sure it works. Most of the reviews look fake/planted, and I suspect they'd take down poor reviews anyway.
So does anyone have any experience with this, or know someone who did? Does it really help tone your body/get you in shape?
I'm not really looking to lose weight, btw; I'm already at about the right weight. I'm more just looking to tone up and be more fit. Is Turbo Jam good for that?
Thanks!
19 AnswersDiet & Fitness7 years agoWhen I unplug my iPod from my computer, all my songs are gone?
I know they're THERE somewhere, because when my iPod is connected to my computer, in iTunes, under "Stacy's iPod" all the songs are there and it shows that the iPod is almost full. But when I disconnect (and I'm doing it safely, ejecting the hardware and all that), my iPod says it has 0 songs on it.
What's causing this and how do I fix it? I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice (and the second time, I did it the long/thorough way, uninstalling every Apple program), and that didn't fix it.
Thanks for the help!
1 AnswerMusic & Music Players7 years agoInformation about numbers in the Bible?
I'm trying to find more information about something my dad told me about. He said that some ex-NBA player named Lucas proved that the Bible was the direct work of God by showing that if you look at the Bible in its original language and do an equivalent number assignment to A = 1, B = 2, etc., and add up the numbers in passages that repeat a certain number, the letters will equal that number or a multiple of it. (For example, in a passage that says the disciples caught 153 fish, the sum of the letters would equal 153 or a multiple of 153.)
Can anyone tell me what this book is called, or where I can find more information on it? Thanks!
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoHas Pottermore taken down content that used to be there?
I haven't been on Pottermore in a while, but when I went back recently, I noticed a couple things missing that I know used to be there.
For example, there used to be a long backstory for Professor McGonagall that described her falling in love with a Muggle boy but then marrying her much older former boss from the Ministry. Now, the only parts of the backstory I see are from her childhood and years at Hogwarts.
Also, in the information on the Chamber of Secrets, it talked about how the entrance wasn't always in a bathroom because wizards didn't used to use bathrooms, and it described how descendants of Slytherin had kept the entrance concealed when a bathroom was built on top of it. Now, there's general information on the Chamber, but none of the stuff about hiding the entrance.
I've tried asking about this in comments on Pottermore a couple times, but my comments have sometimes been deleted.
Am I going crazy here? Are they removing content and censoring anyone who asks about it? Or am I just not remembering where it was before?
1 AnswerOther - Games & Recreation7 years agoIs there an archive of WGN's news broadcasts? Looking for someone I think I saw today.?
Earlier tonight, watching the news, I thought I saw someone I know waving at the camera when they turned the camera around to show the people standing outside. Is there anywhere I can go to see the footage they aired earlier tonight when they showed the people outside? I tried WGN's website, but they just have specific story segments; they always cut off right when the story ends and never show extra stuff like the bystanders outside.

1 AnswerMedia & Journalism7 years agoIs this cultural appropriation? Native American names?
This probably sounds stupid, but I'm looking for a name for my new Betta fish. His fins remind me of a Native American headdress, so I wanted to give him a Native American name with a special meaning. I've found two names on babynames.com that I like: "Brocky," from the Blackfoot Tribe, which means "Tail Feathers Coming Over The Hill," and "Chetanluta," from the Sioux Tribe, which means "Red Hawk."
I'm leaning towards the second one, because his fins look like red feathers, and I could call him "Chet" for short. My question is, is it cultural appropriation to use one of these names? Are these names sacred for these tribes? I've done a little research and haven't found anything to indicate that they are, but I would appreciate hearing from anyone with more knowledge of these cultures.
It's probably not a huge deal since it's just my fish, and it's just in the privacy of my own home, but I would feel bad if it turned out to be offensive somehow.
Thanks!
