I worked with the old folks today and there’s nothin’ better than hearing them ask “What’s a Microsoft?” Ok, grab that Bing Crosby Christmas album and let’s dance pops. haha. Hope everyone had a fabulous day with hopes for a bright 2019. Hugs

AskWoody PlusDecember 25, 2018 at 7:53 pm #242613Ok, listen up sonny, turn that contraption off and let’s talk about the old days when I sat in the middle of the living room floor buying out Park Place on the Monopoly board. The only time “broke” came into play was when our play bills ran out. haha, well, that’s according to pops, and he ain’t scratching his head trying to fix it.

GuestDecember 27, 2018 at 2:56 pm #242843I have told some elderly folks that they have not missed the tech boat too much, as some of it now it is more geared toward wasting your time than a benefit.
Seeing here, elsewhere and knowing others with more knowledge and experience than myself confirms that statement. I hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas.

Most definitely. Adam and Eve got themselves into a real mess when they ate the forbidden fruit. God then sent His Son Jesus to fix the mess by dying for their sins:
“You shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.”
What a wonderful act of compassion – you are headed for a long prison term, and then someone steps up and goes to prison in your place, allowing you to go free! That’s what Christmas means to me!
