Can't Get Here From There

[so lucky]

I had to get a new laptop because SOMEONE broke my old one finally. Once I got it set up, I tried to come here, naturally, and I couldn't believe how hard it was to get on the website! The first listing was a Pinterest link, and there was no way to get here from there. I was not wanting to sign in to pinterest. Then there was a BYC article, then a bunch of other listings but none I could find that just takes you straight here. I finally went back and got on BYC, then scrolled down to the bottom where it gives the other sister forums. I wonder if @Nifty needs to know this.
(I am traumatized....reminded me of a recurring nightmare)

Well I hope your path through the hedge is well marked now So Lucky.
Leave some bread crumbs or something if you have trouble again.

I had the same problem on my new Windows 10 laptop! I entered www.theeasygarden.com and NEVER FOUND IT!!! I finally found BYC and got to TEG. I couldn't find SS of BYH either, the web sites did not come up. I finally got my sloppy, comfortable old laptop out of the shop and hit My Favorites!

Apps are something I have had to learn a little about. Some websites seem like they are all but insisting that one uses their app. All fired important to them but I have my own priorities.

Text messaging is important to me but, Good Heavens, it's changed with this Android phone! DW has a new phone, it is different, yet again. I hardly know how to advise her! She will have to play with it for several hours/days or I will be instructing for dang near the same amount of time!

Email, too! I thought I'd figured out email over 15 years ago. Do I really need previous emails available just by scrolling from the new note? What, I have no mental recollection or I can't find a folder for something I want to keep? Pile too much convenient access on me and my world becomes littered with information and sweeping some of it into a dustbin becomes onerous!

But, ya know, some of this is like fitted sheets. Do we really want to go back to a time before fitted sheets? Is it really too much bother that we can no longer neatly fold a bottom sheet but must, instead, shape it into a wad and stuff it in a drawer ..?

Remember So Lucky, if you have trouble with the technology - it's their fault, not yours. Phones, computers and much of the software are supposed to be "consumer technology." So, what are we - chopped liver?

Well, I nearly had myself locked out of my own computer just now. This is not very fun! I dread my DH getting a smart phone, because he has forgotten any savvy he ever had regarding technology.

I agree that getting a new computer and finding all the old favorites is a problem. I'm working on my TAX computer now and it was all sorts of heck to get TEG working for me.

I am still in amazement over there was a time without fitted sheets.

Actually, flat sheets are not so bad. If you took home-ec in highschool, you learned how to make a hospital corner, so all is good.
And they are a heck of a lot easier to fold.

I came across some accounting for the consumers' use for apps. It was interesting.

Let's see if I remember: The biggest users for apps could be said to be adults, right into middle age. Of course, young people logged the most time but it might be that those a little older were exploring more but less often.

Next, it was about 24 for the oldsters : 24hrs/month and 24 apps used. That isn't really much less than the other 2 groups.

Which apps and how they fared month after month wasn't covered in the stats quoted but the author said : a half dozen. Yep, about 6 are all that are used consistently. Many may only be explored once. Naturally, the youngsters' interest in games changes fairly often, even though the researchers counted each and every time.

So, using your 6 apps, how many are you likely to have on your mobile device? On average, 95 ..!

Mom was an RN she could use a flat sheet for the mattress and bounce a quarter off it. Of course she taught us how to tuck and tighten. Still my results where never as good as hers. Fitted sheets are so convenient!
