I bet that...

Most all of you have more than one email address, hmm? A logical thing to do when you are in business or in school or married or have children or need privacy or secrecy or some other such reasoning that I have not mentioned or even know about…But me, why would I need more than one these days, really? Believe it or not, though, retired bum here, me, who also has more than one email too. I hear you, “whatever for”, you yell! Well, maybe not but maybe you wonder why a wee bit. So I will, as always, explain myself… You see, we had only the one and it was our one and only until we got up to speed with our DSL a few years back, yep we had dial up for years, about a dozen. I know, yes I really do know, dial up is like making a phone call using two tin cans, but at the time the price was right and it seemed like a good idea…oh well… times change and so people can too… and we did, i.e., I did. Nearly three years ago we traded up to this century and bought ourselves some DSL and the rest is history! And we saved a few bucks when we bundled with our landline! Sadly, we no longer have that sultry voice telling us that ‘you’ve got mail’ like in the movie of the same name, circa 1998 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, how cute were they?…Some things are hard to get over. But I did. Thus the AOL one is not used very much at all anymore and now this other one, ‘YAHOO!’ from switching to the DSL and being told we have all these choices, too confusing, but they have a cheery greeting too. Any-who, two is our limit and can be quite confusing, and so periodically I have been trying hard to notify everyone, friends, family, including stores and non-profits to use just the one, our current one. Somehow, not all have gotten the concept and send duplications of what they want us to know, even some that I got so fed up with I unsubscribe with. My motives were for simplification of this techno thingy to become more streamed-line for me and Hubby. And the process I found is never ending and so on and on I was doing it ala landline today or email from the current one stressing my need to succeed! To most this must seem boring and not that important… but to me it was something to accomplish and as of this minute I do believe the mission has been! Carried out, that is. Only time will tell, but that will give me more to do as in the re-teaching people who wish to contact us to use our landline instead of our cell phones. It all stems back to that, dial-up VS, DSL. When we had dial up we had the landline on the computer and so we gave out our cell numbers as our contact ones. Yes, we both have them due to a deal we have had for years. Moving on… while writing this I have been receiving emails from ole chum about dear sweet Mom Clara and things are causing a nasty roller coaster ride for her and her daughter, i.e. ole chum…PRAY PLEASE and hard, more surgery is being called for, as early as tomorrow, for this dear sweet woman with such a wonderful heart that is now very sick, that is her heart … at ninety-one years of giving of hers…PRAY LOUDER PLEASE! On that note of true concern allow me to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear? JUST IN: Monday, May 7, 2012 6:06 PM Just got a call saying they want consent to do a procedure tonight, that it should be done now, taking pictures through a catheter again in the groin. This after I was told yesterday they wouldn't be doing anything for a few days. My head is spinning. Mom sounds okay though, and I was promised I'd get a call when it is over. So keep praying! Thank you!
