Forwarded e-mails




Although many forwarded e-mails have wonderful sentiments, I have a problem with the graphics---they distract me from the message. There is too much animation and the graphics don't seem to go together. In this one even size seems to be an issue.

What you can't see is this came to me glittering on a rainbow background---that didn't copy. I tried copying the entire e-mail but the graphics don't "stay" and they lose their animation. . .

My daughters say they don't get e-mails like this---it's my generation who still marvels at computers and the internet. I think they are definitely done by retired people with a lot of time on their hands. So, again, I'm caught between generations!

So, as much as I admire the sentiments, my eyes hurt and I think I'm getting a headache.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
