This made me chuckle, cat! I have 4 email accounts (probably more if I would go back and look for some that I have abandoned...). I have a different password for each of them and the pw's are becoming more complicated as I go.

I have a security issue, I think!! Like someone is going to hack into my email to see if I received an email from Macy's or my sister!!

Have to look into a smart phone, myself. I sure hope it is smarter than a fifth-grader and can teach me how to use it. I'm still trying to figure out my MP3 player. The sample songs sound great!

Looking back, I have NO earthly idea what he thought he wanted with me.

I have decided that the institution of marriage is just that, but with the right person -- oh, my! -- it's such a pleasure!
Both of my exes were first born as am I. The power struggle was massive. My current hubby has an older sister and a strong mother. I think he was custom made for me. We divide power and it works very well.

Hi Gem good to see you....

Funny about the e-mails and passwords...I actually have a recipe box filled with passwords for this and passwords for that. So hard to keep track of them.

I was so excited the other day when I added unlimited texting to me little phone. I don't have one of those fancy thingys just a phone to say hello if someone needs me. I have enough complications in my life. If I leave the house I don't take the computer with me.

GPS tracking is also not my friend..it gets me lost even when I know where I am going. The grouchy old bat talking to me will say take a right...my answer is well she must not mean that right! One of these days I am going to throw that out the window. Remember when life was simple with the rotary phone and a really long cord?????

Oh this is great you guys are still rappin so............I have multiple accounts but I got fed up with the passwords and now have converted everything that needs a password to just 1 word with a upper and lower case letter and a number. I'm not the president of the United States and I'm not rolling in dough so I figure if someone wants to look at my stuff go ahead; you can't make any money off of it.

I also text my kids all the time and scold them when they try to use the short language (it must be spelled out). There really is no excuse especially with the virtual keyboards they have today.

I was watching this person the other day take out his phone and try to use it. He started with the up-close to the face and then the long arm extension and then back and forth until I went up to him and offered him my reading glasses. He was embarrassed and confessed his eyesight was failing. I told him it's age my friend so when you guys were talking about not seeing the keyboard anymore it reminded me of that incident.

The technical term for it is presbyopia and is due to the eye lens stiffening or loss of elasticity and not being able to adjust (this is brought on by age for the most part). Now days there is laser treatment for it. I know a couple of people who have done it and it worked.

Anyway I appear to be rambling on so later my friends.

I prefer blind as a bat myself! Anyway, one of my favorite BlackBerry features is the option of enlarging the image or print on my touchscreen. Very helpful!

No purse here! If it doesn't fit in my pocket,clip on my back pocket or go in my glovebox,it stays at home. Well I do make an exception for hubby.
