He sometimes sends a text that is so garbled it is hard to understand and then follows it up with "That is close to where I wanted to say" 
Yesterday they set him up on Facebook and added some family friends to his facebook friends. Today he made one of his first posts. It was a sweet post about how lucky he is to be married to his sweet wife Elaine.
It was posted on a lady named Elaine that is NOT his wife. He managed to make the post on the wrong person's page. 
Maybe someday he will try using a computer.  |
That is similar to me, I really liked my flipphone because it could go in my pocket without worry of breaking it. I never sent a text until a year ago when my wife upgraded all of our phones (Samsung galaxy S5). I seem to be the only one at lunch or out on the town that doesn't have my phone glued to my hand or ear.
I have been using a computer for awhile now, but never downloaded anything, or set up any new software....just not interested.
I am on facebook, but only have about 50 friends (only people I personally know, and have talked with in person). I guess, I just don't need all the electronic stimulation that most people do.
