I think I'll forward it to my son so he won't complain when i call him frequently for his computer knowledge. I too look at my mother's hands when I visit her...and see how she suffers from osteo-arthritis and rheumatism. Life is good but it can be cruel. <em><strong>Indeed it can, Matty.

Think about it, this technology is beyond anything they could ever have imagined. I loved the comment about paying for the long distance calls. That was a good story that your Mom had forwarded and I don't think I have ever seen it before. Thank you for sharing. <em><strong>Thanks for reading it, Jen. Momma would have like that people did.

Sorry. It’s just that when I look at my hands, I see Momma’s now, and when I think of Momma’s hands, I think of this story. Momma never learned to research. It was a little late for her to learn it…at least as far as her health went.~skt
