My grandma was trying to text someone goodnight, and she did a bunch of sad emojis because "they looked like they were sleeping" It was this one

I think I know why you laughed by reading it over but please tell me if I am correct... Id hate to say what I think and then get it wrong ....

Oh boy, LOL... I bet the person that got the message thought she was depressed

The forum has been very slow lately.

Slow as in activity or in loading...

I think the activity levels are down, but I have been distracted by other things recently..

A lot of the oldies get tired of trying to explain things to the youngsters, when they just continually find reasons why the oldies might be wrong, and they are right. Alot of the youngsters don't know how to learn off people with experience, and just turn to google for their knowledge

I always listen carefully even though sometimes it may seem like im not... I google and look at trusted sources but this site is ALMOST the only site I use

I had the privilege a few years back to teach a woman in her experienced years how to use her tablet and she greatly appreciated my help... I would go see how she is doing but covid is still high in our area and I wouldnt want to accidentally give her covid... If you need any "basic" tech help, just PM me... I'd be glad to help

Thank you for you kind offer, I am relatively IT literate, I use it all day at work (I’m a procurement analyst and am a bit whizzy with excel and Power BI) I just don’t understand how (or the fascination) to use Facebook, Twitter and all that social media stuff… I can’t imagine why people would want to know what I’m doing…my statuso would be at work or napping on the sofa…who would want to know that..?

I can see that. Sometimes I feel like me asking questions in an attempt to understand the reasoning behind something comes off as argumentative or questioning...

Sadly I am not sure if I can help with excel or power BI but I may be able to (I doubt it cause I dont use it)... I dont have a social except for this and I do know how to use them all and I would like facebook someday because I can connect with friends and family... Now some from past generations have said "You dont need a insta-face account, just pick up the dangity darn phone or send a letter"... While both those things are great on a personal level sometimes you want the whole family or all your friends to see something, so you can post it on facebook or twitter or whatever... Its great for having all your friends there or family... But a phone call or letter is always best when you want one person to know something and you are trying to just "hang out" with them

Nvm, we really dont have to explain then... Well then I shall pick up my brain from the mud and move along ...

As an engineer, I sometimes do the same, especially when the person I question likely knows more than me or is an expert in the subject.

'Can you explain why ...' is not a dog whistle for 'I think you are full of mulm unless you give me details to prove you are right'

Ive always been one to question things... No matter what... Its also what gets me into trouble, if my parents ask me to do something I dont normally do, I naturally just ask "why?"

Years ago, my first day of third grade and my first time in real school, my teacher sent me to the office to make some copies. We only needed two, but she told me to make 5. I went "Why?" and could totally see her about to get irritated, then calm down and say "It's just nice to have extras!". I think she remembered the fact that I had never been to school before and didn't necessarily know how to interact with a teacher

re: Why - Parents are given a stack of Mom (or Mum) and Dad trump cards upon leaving the hospital. I have a scanner/printer and have made more as needed.
