I forget to think of myself as really old, until some sweet young thing reminds me that I am too far over the hill to understand computers. I haven't written on my blog since last Thanksgiving, not because I have given it up, but because the government has been such a pain in the tochas that every blog piece became a rant against something. I still love reading good blogs (like yours) and think I'll give it another try.... to prove that people over 50 (or even 75) still have operating brains.Kaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204053320557518502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-80809746380651361242011-07-20T22:51:41.315-05:002011-07-20T22:51:41.315-05:00I feel like I just saw an episode of twilight zone...I feel like I just saw an episode of twilight zone in color and with lots of commercials.

He said to his wife, "Would you look at this? Someone's gone and put the Internet on <i>paper</i>! How amazing!"<br /><br />But I have to be nice to him. If I ever get a smart phone, he's the one who will teach me how to use it....The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-75782970982020391942011-07-20T12:29:00.505-05:002011-07-20T12:29:00.505-05:00Real comment here: Thanks, oh Curmudgeonly One, f...Real comment here: Thanks, oh Curmudgeonly One, for helping to spread the word.<br />And about us Boomers being able to use the web? Didja hear that HuffingtonPost is launching a whole new website/blog next month JUST FOR US?!! Hired actress Rita Wilson to head up the effort. I guess they think we're catching on, slowly but surely. We ARE trainable.susan harrishttp://www.boomerturnons.comnoreply@blogger.com
