How To Hook A Wireless Mouse to Your Android Device

    Each day as technology advances, you are starting to see more and more touch screen devices take the place of physical devices that once helped us navigate the screens on our older devices. If your one of those folks that miss using a physical device with your computer powered devices, and you happened to purchase an Android powered device, then your in luck. With the latest operating system, the Jellybean operating system, and newer, you can have the ability to use a wireless mouse with your Android powered device, and even a physical keyboard.

            An important note, this only appears to work with stock Android operating systems, which have not been heavily altered by the device manufacture. Each manufacture has the ability to skin the Android operating system to put their companies touch on it, and a lot of time, they will take this feature out of the operating system to make room for one of their own features. With that being said, lets begin.

            Today, I will let you know how you can open the door to this opportunity, and let you explore its possibilities. First you will need to purchase an adaptor from a online market place, which is called a usb to micro usb adaptor, which looks like this. I purchased this one for $1.99 off of Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/CNE13028-Female-Micro-Cable-Adapter/dp/B005GI2VMG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394379472&sr=1-1&keywords=female+usb+to+micro+usb

    You will notice that it has a standard female usb plug in on one side, and a male micro usb port on the other end of the adaptor. Next, you will want to take the wireless transmitter that came with your wireless mouse, and plug it into the standard female usb plug in side of the adaptor.

    Next, you will want to plug the micro usb side of the adaptor into your tablet or smartphone. Afterwards, power on your wireless mouse, and before you know it, you should see a mouse pointer in seconds.

    You can go into the settings menu of your device, under keboards & Input, and scroll to the bottom of the list, and you should find pointer speed adjustments, and assign which button does what.

     With this adaptor, you will find that you can use a physical keyboard, thumb drives, and mice. With this knowledge, you will find that you will start to feel even more comfortable with your touch screen devices, and begin to enjoy them just as you did with your former older devices.

When It's Time For The Kids To Move Out, How to Readjust

            If your like myself, I cherish every moment in my life and try to remember every second. I've always looked at every moment in life as being a special gift, a piece of time that belongs to you, and always have an appreciation for its every being. Your kids, they are a special gift you hold dear to your heart. Through the years you have watched them, as a tiny baby figuring out the world, growing into their elementary school years, and thru high-school as they struggled with being a teenager. You where there every time they fell and scraped their leg, every time they got their hearts broke, and for every joyful moment in their lives. Now, they have came of age, and its time for them to become young adults and spread their wings and try to fly in the real world.

            This is the time when most parents will experience what is called, "Empty Nest Syndrome", and it can be a very difficult experience. For so long, you provided, and shared your love and protection for your child. Now, your child is of age, and you may still long to continue to provide for your child, its a natural instinct. But what you may not realize is that, you may do your child more harm than good.

            As we become adults, one of the biggest things we must learn is, "Responsibility".  Without learning responsibility, one can not survive in this world. A squirrel every year must store nuts away for the winter if it is to survive, and if not, it will perish. This could not be anymore true for your child. Continuing to help your child out say financially, he or she will never learn to become responsible. The problem is, every time you provide them with financial help, and they are working and making a small income, they think to themselves that they can take your money, and use their own money on what they want to buy. I am not saying that every young adult is this way but a great percentage I presume are. Then perhaps lets say, your child gets into a little trouble financially, they will depend upon you, even possibly when they become older adults, to help him or her out of what ever trouble they face.

            Each of us has to learn responsibility, and in doing so, we all must experience consequences. And its at these times when we face consequences, which we all have experienced, that we must determine how to resolve them and hope we do not run into them again. So continuing to help your child can potentially give them the mindset they can depend on you every time they run into financial trouble. Understand that, its your job as a parent to help them become responsible adults, so that they can be self sufficient through life. Understand that its ok to be there, standing on the side line watching, and its ok to help pick your child up sometimes but do not run out onto the field every time your child gets knocked down. And like I stated earlier, it can be hard, you've been there for your child since the beginning, and that is understandable. You may see it as you are helping but in fact you are actually doing more harm than good.

            So now the question you may be asking now, "If I shouldn't be there one hundred percent of the time for my child, now what?" The one thing that you can do is, get reacquainted with your life before you had children. You can now become more romantic with your partner, have more time for each other, and experience things in life you always dreamed of doing. Or, you can focus more on a favorite hobby that you did not have time for when you where raising kids, cooking your favorite dish, wood working, golfing, fishing, or what ever it may be.

            And as a finally note, and understand, that once you begin to get reacquainted with you former life, you are helping your child to become an adult, and not only are they your child, they are also becoming a best friend.
