Two days ago Lexa said it was supposed to rain a lot of the day today, but it was sunny and bright all day. Right about sundown, all of the sudden it started raining very large and loud drops. I think it only lasted about 20 minutes.

Sounds about right. Honestly? She is fired.
She will just say anything!... and I have considered firing her for real lately as she can't shut up with all the "by the ways" and "did you know?". I liked her better when she was from the old days and only spoke when asked a question.
Should have known she was too good to be true and now Amazon advertising through her unrequested by me.
I don't think so !
You can fix that in the permissions and settings. She just wouldn't let it go! She was relentless. By the way, can I address you by your 1st name? H*** no you can't! Now Get back in your Box.
I looked online for ways to make her stop it, but so far I haven't figured that out.
On the Amazon Alexa App, go to more, click on notifications, click on amazon shopping, scroll toward the bottom and disable shopping notifications - there are two, Also the Amazon community notifications also the Amazon followup- if you buy a book or anything, she will follow up.
For the one where she tries to call you by name or get too familiar with you, it is in the more settings like the other, then go to Alexa privacy. Within there, click on everything, there are multiple options: review voice history, review history of detected sounds, review smart home device history, and manage your Alexa data. There are descriptions for all, delete the history, and based on the description of what you don't want, have her erase your history so she doesn't remember it. Have her record as little as possible in the future. Does she recognize your voice? If she does, that in More Settings: account settings, recognize voices. Within there is also Amazon sidewalk, I turned mine off, it uses your bandwidth to connect all of your compatible devices and anyone in your area. Hello?
I didn't proof read that, let me know if you don't understand.
Lots of creeper options in there.
There are more than that, but, that is all I can think of right now... poke around and if I think of other creepy things, I will let you know.
Go to MORE SETTINGS: Reminders: missed reminder notifications. Personal Reminders. She will use voice recognition to differentiate.
You are safe. You are alone, just don't tell Alexa. I turned mine off.
Receive notifications for new things to try: That is under MORE SETTINGS: Notifications: Things to try. There are two options.
When Alexa has a hunch that you left a light on or a door unlocked, she can let you know. That is under the things to try: Hunches OMG! Really. Click on the gear in the righthand corner, options will pop up. @jacey.boldart
Oh.... she has offered to do the hunch thing and I said NO !! ...really mean ! LOL
I have gone in and changed anything I could find about shopping or other communications, suggestions and whatever else I could find, but so far, nothing has stopped her from taking the btw and did you know after she answers some question I ask. Gah !
Didn't it help in any way ? I hope so and if it didn't let me know I'll look around a little bit more.
