2. I get more robo calls than regular calls..In one way it is a good thing..(only one way)

..It forces me to get up from the computer to pick up the phone which is about 18 feet away. Now, I did have a phone, (I have a land line too) right next to the computer. So I didn't ever have to get up. But I realized that getting up and walking the 18 feet to pick up the phone was not a bad thing, but a good thing..
..The computer offers so much info, and usage, that I could sit (and have sat) for hours. But getting up and walking to the phone is good for me. As much as I hate the robo calls, in a way they are better than sitting 3 hours and going from place to place on the computer...

...Before I had a computer...2006, I went to the library, and we were limited the amount of time we could use one of the libraries computers. And then there were only 8 or nine for public use. Now there are close to 25 in two rooms. Oh well ...back to the drawing board..Wait, I have a drawing board on this computer...I don't even have to get up...
