On Tuesday morning, Chase and Nanaw went through the study guide for today’s phrases test in English. Nanaw thought he knew the material and would do well on the test. When Nanaw was talking to Debbie at pickup time, Debbie said Brady wasn’t going to the Homecoming Dance. Debbie said it was probably because Chase wasn’t going. When Chase got in the car, Nanaw’s first question was asking how the English test went. Chase said he thought he got a 100 on it. Nanaw told him that if he did, he should pay his tutor. Chase said if he got a 100, he would give Nanaw $5. Then he said, if he didn’t, he’d give her a hug. Then he followed up saying he’d give her a hug no matter what happened. His only homework today was in Drivers’ Ed, and he finished that up fairly quickly. He ate the last of the Bosco Sticks as his after school snack, and Nanaw said she would buy more tomorrow at Walmart. When Nanaw got home from taking Chase home, she checked her email and found a message from ChatGPT, saying her account showed her as being under 17. It gave her a link saying if you’re older than 18, you can verify your age. She spent the next two hours trying to do that with no success. The ChatGPT Bot she was working with finally had her contact the Support area, and they said they would give this to a support person – so I get to talk to a real person who works for ChatGPT – I think. I also think that this all came about because of the Python coding class Chase and I were doing this summer. I told them my 14 year old grand son and I were doing it and somehow they must have marked the account as being used by a 14 year old. So once they get me fixed, I think I’ll have Chase set up his own ChatGPT account and not use mine anymore. The second picture below is the pumpkin that Nanaw bought from Stuckmeyer’s on her way home from Chase’s. They have the pumpkin area set up on an honor system where you put your payment in a big mailbox. Hopefully, everybody does that. Nanaw had her eye on a really big pumpkin but it was too heavy for her to carry so she got a normal-sized one.
