She's a very giving lady, still has all her marbles for her age. But like everyone, things are not what they used to be. New technology can stump many the older they get, and I guess that will happen to me as well to some degree.

Ok, so I wrote a poem for her, going to print it out tomorrow when I visit. But I don't have a printer so I was going to print it out on her computer. I posted on the link bellow.

So I tell her I will use her computer and printer to print it out for her. And she asks "How are you going to get your poem off of my computer?" She didn't understand I had posted it online. All I have to do is go to the website I posted it at.

I really have no room to talk, cell phones have been around forever and I didn't get my first one until last year.

I don't get it. You young people think you have all the answers with your fancy pants young people skills haha jk. I hear ya. Even a simple thing of emailing your document to yourself is a way to always be able to get access to it from any computer. A great way to store files for free instead of USB drives. 

I try to help my grandparents with their computer often, usually they are clicking on all sorts of popups, and spam so I have to clean it up. At least they haven't started giving money to the kings in Nigeria who promise a fortune for paying the money transfer fees. You sound very young if you just got a cell phone last year. Just wait until you get older. You will become lost in the world of all the new technology. I know what twitter is, but have never used it, and really don't care to, or facebook for that matter.

How is your mother, btw? Is she getting along okay independently?
I remember you were worried a few months ago.

Pics of it's not real.

That means the NSA has it, too.

She's doing fine right now. She's healthy, but she is also 83.

My grandmother is 92 and still lives on her own. Tough lady, that one is.

Kudos to you and your mom.
