Popular Post Ralphie ★ Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 26, 2020 I bumped up the font size by three pluses both on the phone and computer, and I must say the forum software handles it with aplomb. But man, it makes me feel old to look at this big type. But not having to squint will hopefully make me look less like @Parr8heds GIF of Clint. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted January 26, 2020 Soon I will be using one of these I 'spose. My 84 year old mom said she wasn't insulted when I suggested she consider replacing her ancient flip phone with a Jitterbug phone. She has heard of them. The smart one doesn't look that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean my house move, in real life. Yes. Better in every way. Mrs. Further had some reservations and fears, I did too for that matter. But it is much better for both of us. From our bedroom window we have a view of a hillside with a dozen or so houses. She has named one the "Christmas Tree House" any guesses as to why ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs about a dollar a month. No more pain. Ever. No side effects. That I’m aware of. Still drink all the holiday beer you want ?. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
