I’m still using an aol address because why not! I figure people will think I’m not tech savvy so I have them fooled.
What’s so terrible about an aol address, anyway? I did stop using my original aol because too many people accidentally entered it and I got tons of spam. Also interesting stuff, like an annual tee time at an Orlando golf course, details about a Colorado wedding, lots of e-cards, info about a marathon I definitely could never have entered, doctor appointment follow ups, etc. If I could tell erroneous emails were legit, I usually let the sender know.
I remember via something one of my kids learned in spelling class - it’s so dry in the desert that there’s only one S. Which makes no sense if you think about it but it still helps me remember!
My sympathies! A couple of months ago I slipped getting off of the couch and probably cracked a couple of ribs. It hurt to move for weeks.
My other sign: thinking that putting my PT on retainer or else accept that I’ll have these nagging issues with my calves, ankles, feet for the rest of my life.
lol, one thing I enjoyed (kind of) about waiting for months for knee replacement surgery was that I always, always got a seat on the subway and bus. And now when I bring my shopping cart
aol email is owned by the same company that owns yahoo email. My original email address has five characters before the @ because that was all that was allowed. A couple of years later, it went to eight characters. I used my daughter’s Chinese orphanage first-middle name (her legal middle name) to make her first email address. I can’t be sure, but I think she may have used that email for online dating until she finally met her amazing husband.
I don’t really like the aol interface and I have been moving everything to gmail. But the old address lives on.
I look forward to getting my quarterly alumnae magazine, but our class notes used to be towards the end (where the most recent are). Not any more!!! There are decades and decades after ours now! How did that happen?
The fact that my ds is eligible for a 10-year high school reunion this year. I doubt they will have one, but how is it he’s been out of high school TEN years!
Means I’ve been hanging around here at least 12 or 13!
Wish that was more of a joke instead of good advice. I have a friend who fell in the bathroom and spent over 24 hours on the floor. Water everywhere but she couldn’t reach it. Now she keeps a bottle under the sink.
