I hope you're given the opportunity to question the owners and whoever runs this site as to why they chose to act in the manner that they did.

All the mods for that matter.


Hello. Carp?

Just to be clear, we are not related!


Someone identified that member as JinMi.

Margo, I was just recently forced to get a new phone, when my three-year-old phone sadly fell from a great height and died (sob!) What used to be a simple experience -- getting a new phone -- became a complex nightmare involving all manner of subsets of information for which I was ill-equipped to understand, let alone make the right choice.

The new phone 'lived' in the crack of the couch seat for a couple of days, while I fumed. I decided that what one person could do, I could also, albeit with a lot of research and discussion.

My pedantic point is that you are NOT too old for ANYTHING. We can all do that which we choose. You might be generally unwilling to relearn everything, or even so irritated that you go stomping off and do something else for a bit, but it has nothing to do with age or your perception of it. If you are anywhere near my age, you learned to do a lot of things whose knowledge is mostly absent these days, and if mentioned anywhere, it's in an irritating "article" on your browser page which is written to trigger Boomers, thus creating clicks for their advertising.

Sorry for the rant, but -- like you -- very glad to see someone I recognize.


Welcome to the next evolution of ATS; long may it incite our fire.

I don't anticipate any such opportunity. This is me being pragmatic. This is what is. I will utilize this form of communications with people who matter to me until I cannot. ;o)

like you, I only use my fancy I phone for phone calls, a friend of mine tried to teach to do other things, I can not get the darn thing to work for me.

Is hard to learn new tricks as you get older,

,

Is a lot of information lost if the old accounts are no longer available.

That is a beautiful view. I love getting up in the morning and looking at the sea, because it tells me things about the future. We don't get into the ocean nearly enough, not as much as we did when we were younger, because now there are considerations which didn't previously exist, such as "which ladder is the easiest on our knees", or "is there still underwater trash drifted in by the last tropical cyclone?"

If you are lucky enough to be within driving distance of great water, you are lucky enough, yeah? There was once a moderator by a similar name as mine who posted photos of the Green Flash here about 15 years ago. If you have an opportunity to, you might check them out. The Green Flash is real, and it is a wonder of nature/deity of choice.

My Bride and me are making it. The world is a frightening and wonderful place. I love your upbeat spirit, and I think you probably inspire people around you. Where I live, I consider it my task to give people a laugh; I've been falling down on the job in the past month. Your post was very timely.

The point is, thought, that we are capable of learning it, if we choose. Like you, there is a bunch of stuff I choose not to learn. Other than ATS, I don't do social media.

I lost most of my contacts, which initially made me feel desperate, until I remembered that I made it through 50 years of my life withoout a phone. I restored the business contacts, and then patiently waited for those friends and family that mattered to say, "you still there?"

I do not do social media for security reasons due to my husband's job, but I been playing a game for seven years and have made a lot of people from other countries. Soo I am not soo shy after all.

, I use telegram and line because of the game.

I guess I didn't like the thought that you, a warm, intelligent person, were margalizing yourself. You can do whatever you choose Margo. You can also choose to enjoy a lazy afternoon doing nothing, without guilt or shame.

I would never have mistaken you for someone who is shy. ;o) My Darlin' is connected to government, so I understand. I mostly don't want to embarrass her.

We don't know what this latest iteration of ATS will be, if anything. Earlier today, I tried to log on and ATS was offline. I have been preparing for that time every since Bill (SO) started talking about selling the place. We will all ride this and see where it goes. ATS is a very apt metaphor for the world in general, no? The people in control can blow it up if they are fool enough; all we can do is live our best lives and be glad for those things and people who enrich them.

You are one of those people. Well done

Thanks for the kind words, I think the owners are working on the problem, I been having double pages to log in since this morning, everytime I close the page I never log out, but is doing for me now, soo when I try to get in my old information is back, but still I can not log in, then I open another page and used the new information and I am ok.

This was not happening yesterday, while my laptop recognizes the ATS page the ATS page does not want my old log in yet.

I got the feeling things will be ok, eventually, as for the phone, I am hardheaded I am just too lazy to work on my phone capabilities.

, but I am pretty good with the lap tops and tablets.

I used to talk via message I always thought it was a male, but you never know, I never actually asked him or she.

I used to look for his new topics and love them.

Look at the site now, it seems to be getting somewhat to the way it was before, finding threads that were active before the problem started, no getting spammed like in the yesterday, it was terrible.
