It rarely comes out the way I envisioned it coming out...
Talk to your "kids" about your difficulties and they are no help. Usual response I get is..."I can't believe you still don't know how to do that!"
Response I am looking for goes like this..."I've had problems with that cut & paste thing to..I'll come over your place and show you what I learned..."
Is it Me or Is it ModernTech?!?

Nooo...it's not you, Pea; it's a "generational thing", I think. To us, "cut & paste" still means using scissors & glue--kinda like 4th grade @ St. Ambrose. We were all busy working while our kids were learning & playing & not-being-afraid-to-use these new-fangled COMPUTERS!
Ditto, Commish...I have never figured it all out and prolly never will...'course, I'm pushin' sixty...cough, cough, hack..burp!
If you wanna get even with your kids when they nake those snide computer remarks try this; hand them a brown bag (you'll have to explain what a brown bag is and what it's for) give em a small stubby pencil and then tell them to add up your grocery bill on the bag with the pencil. Come back a week later and they'll have built a calculator to do it for them.
As Mr. Kalstein once said: "that is sooo true Slim!" "Now, gimme that, again: You want 2 oz. lox--sliced very thin-- & 2 oz. cream cheese & two bagels, right?"
mr k did it in his head ...the calculations on the bag were for the benefit of the people that mr k was "advancing" the credit to...
ask a "kid" today to tell you the time from a Clock that displays only numbers and hands! Duuuhhh!!
They need "digital readouts!"
