Umm, where do you get those great emotion thingys?

You have to go to the bottom of the page and switch your phone from moble to desktop and they come up as smiles, click more and you can see all of them. You won't see it in you post even if you preview until it is posted. At least that's how it works on my phone.

Hi all. I have been lurking for a while, and though it seems a lot of you are still just kids, or at least more the ages of my kids, I will jump in, if it is ok.

I have geese and ducks and a few chickens. The waterfowl are my favorites.

I do have a question. I am using a "smart" phone and struggling to learn it. Live where there is almost no signal so need to use wifi when in town. I hear so many cautions about that. Any pointers for safey?

Welcome to BYC

from San Diego high desert.... And welcome to the OLD folks.... heh heh.

I am 59 going on 100

at least thats how I fee. Um FEEL... Cant help with smart phones... I barely can work the pay as I go one I have.

There are a couple of PROS on here though you will get your answer.

I don't think I'd look too good in a bikini top.

Well. she may wear a string bikini today but, some years down the road she will be paying for all that sun exposure. I wore a bikini once (high school years) but, was too shy to wear it outside. You get older and sometimes a lot fluffier and you realize guys are not doing a double take like they used to.

I did get quite a bit of attention though ,the day I missed a step in the restaurant and careened off a couple booths before my flaying arms were able to re-establish balance. I truly expected the diners to applaud and yell "do it again."

Saw this yesterday-- one more thing for my dial up to cope with .. or crash.

When in the Philippines with really bad internet bandwidth, i use Opera Mini on my phone.

There is also a Facebook Lite app that uses less bandwith and phone memory

The opera browser for PC can be tweaked to make it pretty fast on slow systems with low bandwidth

And then there's always Lynx. It's a bit too stripped down for my taste though.
