    how would i know if i'm going senile, would they tell me?

    if enough people look at me weird?

    Ten Signs you are approaching senility.

    1- You are reading this.

    2- Everyone seems younger than you and you don't like it because young people are lazy, don't know the value of a nickel and can move around unassisted.

    5- Regardless of whether you have a lawn or not, you feel the need to shout at kids to get off it.

    7- More than 40% of your sentences begin with "Back in my day..."

    3- Gravity is really starting to piss you off.

    6- You clearly remember things that never happened and can't remember things that did.

    8- People keep telling you that you are repeating yourself.

    4- Simple tasks like numbering stuff is becoming difficult.

    8- People keep telling you that you are repeating yourself.

    9- Simple sentences are becoming more difficult to put together and you find that you tend to forget about why you started speaking in the first place, mostly it happens when you don't get a nap, but sometimes you find that the possibility of the Planet of the Apes becoming reality is starting to get depressing more real every day... Not the CGI one, the good one where the monkey actors wore latex suits and had British accents... Or maybe that was Mutiny On The Bounty... I personally prefer Brawny because I know the value of a nickel, but in my day we didn't use paper towels, we used raccoon pelts to sop up the mud because the goats.... Zzzzzzzz....

    I don't like the free backup program that I am using because it will not let me exclude folders from the backup job.  I will download another backup program.  Ok, I gotta eat lunch now.

    OThe Halloween Treat Bowls are Empty Complaint Thread

    Halloween candy is on sale in September complaint.  Halloween is at the end of October so why buy Halloween candy now, especially ones you like if you plan to give them out.  They will not last till Halloween at this rate.

    ...was in one of the local stores last Saturday and they're already putting yule lights and decorations on the shelves.

    Christmas decorations, collectibles, have shown up in today's email ad from Michael's!  It's only September, damnit!

    Dana

    Michael’s is a craft store which sort of make sense, at least more sense than Halloween candy in September.  It might take time to make something for Christmas and be ready in time.  Especially an elderly Grandma or grandpa.

    I once carved an elderly grandma out of wood... Back in my day everything was made out of wood and you didn't need a craft store because you'd just go out back and if the wolves didn't get you, you'd take an axe and cut down a tree and carve yourself a friend or grandparent... Unless it was Thursday... Back then we called Thursday "Whompingday" because that's the day the raccoons would come out and everyone would whomp them with sticks they got out back... We used wood to make everything back then, except for the raccoon pelts which we used to sop up the mud from the goats... I think I once carved an elderly grandma out of wood or was that a grandpa... I carved something out of wood... You can carve frozen raccoons if it's cold enough...

    Wheres my pudding?

    Someone took my pudding!

    ...I couldn't help hearing this in Grandpa Simpson's voice.

    Matlock!

    Thank you, thank you.  I remember the first time I heard this.  He's always been a favorite of mine.

    ..I have several albums, including the rare 10" LPs, of his along with the complete songbook Too Many Songs by Tom Lehrer illustrated by Ronald Searle.

    I'm finding many of his songs becoming quite timely again.

    Watch out with the Matlock comments!  My TV is turned on from 12-2 pm daily.  During these hours, I am seated in the living room watching Matlock.  Do not call me, do not come to my door, do not talk to me.  I am not senile.  Have you seen my glasses?  Hmmm, the blasted cats must have taken off with my phone.

    Call for suggestions to replace Google and Gmail.  I'm finally tired of all the malarkey.  What is a good browser?  How about email?  I use Windows 7 on both laptops, have an Android LG Stylo phone, and Kindle Fire.  I went with Google/Gmail way back when testers were allowed invite x number of friends to open accounts.  I use my phone to make and receive calls.  I use my Fire to read books and order from Amazon.  The laptops are for everything else.

    Maybe, but someone is on their way in about five minutes which should have been half an hour ago.  So no clue.

    edit old credit card method did not work.

    Probably going to here a lot of negativity about why I contacted somebody in charge to find out where they are.  I am not able to win for loosing.

    ...not really sure.  I'm stuck as I'd lose all my contacts  and archives if I switched as well as having to notify friends and services of the email change.

    Personally, if I did change I'd go for a system resident programme like Thunderbird (never liked Outlook), however then you become your own email "administrator" having to set up and manage everything yourself and emails will take up drive space on your system. 

    The IS dept at my old company hated the fact I archived every email I received from day one.  Saved my bacon on several occasions as I could pull up an old email to back myself up when someone tried to deny or contradict what they said or a mistake they made.
