    Hello all. This is my first day here, and also my first post. I am single, 75 years old, and on SS. Also live in the blue ridge mountains of TN.

    I was told by verison today that since I video chat with my daughter I would probably need an I-phone, same as her for things to work right. I swear, the more I learn the dumber I feel

    Internet question for dummies (me)

    Thank you..My daughter just called me and she told me what a hotspot was and how it worked. Sounds like if I upgraded to a I-Phone, I could hit a button and connect to the laptop, although there might be more to it then that. IDK

    Internet question for dummies (me)

    every post are talking over my head. I have windows11, and if I get very far away from my modem it doesn't work. My cell phone is a flip with call in, call out, and text. I'm dumber then a rock. How do I stay connected, on the road as I do everything on the computer. PLEASE keep it simple.

    Experience with a Berkey Water Filter System

    Many people from times long past used to keep silver in their water barrels. I am by no way an expert, yet I don't always believe what the so called experts say. Unfortunately there are those that base their opinions based on whoever slips them the most money under the table
