How lovely of you to be nice.
The simple answer is:

When I'm sober, you can't. I might ban you.

When I'm pissed, I'll anwer you all and forget for a while that I can ban ... and when I remember it's too bloody hard to put in the secret code because when I get drinky, I get blindy also.

As is my Mom, a youngster at 85 and 3/4 (as she corrected her cardiologist this week, :lol:- he labeled her 85 and 1/2). I would love to get her a computer, but she gets flubbed up trying to handle her cell phone. :unsure:

Neither of them had ever used a computer or a mobile phone. They had a cheque guarantee card I believe, but neither of them used a debit card or credit card. They paid for things with cash or a cheque, didn't use direct debit for anything. Certainly they received credit card offers in the mail and the bank kept sending them debit cards, but they were able to use their old methods till the end.

Now we are getting into a period when folks who've been using computers, plastic cards, emerging technologies all their adult lives are retiring & in some cases unfortunately getting senile. Hard to see how they will juggle the multifarious accounts, systems, pins and passwords as they progressively lose their marbles...

What's age got to do with it, Cindy? We have a few on BE that say they're young, yet have obviously lost their marbles. You only have to read some of the posts to realise that. ;)

You didn't - Oh FFS aren't you slipping up.

Even I saw that one but was too lazy - drinky to go back and correct it.

Anyhoo ........... is nobody else a bit drinky tonight?

Bit early for me, If I was drinky at 4.30pm, I wouldn't even be able to think about dinner.

Okay - even I wasn't that drinky at lunch time but I damn well didn't want to make a big dinner either after a big, massive Sunday lunch.

I wasn't hungry and the kids not much, so I told them to open the fridge and have a little pic-nic for themselves. I thought I was being a Goddamn lazy awful mum, and true to form - the bloody blighters loved it !

I'm confused. You answer me, (although I didn't ask a question) but quote Robin's post?

Marbles rolling around like crazy.
