I want to wring her neck!! The program being slow is tied to your computer, and your computer alone!! If you were asking if our websites were slow, then yes it could affect everyone else. Otherwise, just restart your darn computer!
EDIT: For clarification, she's the only person who has access to that program, so it can't be her asking if the coding is wrong with 'everyone's' program.

My dad thought the internet was a place you went into. He asked me one day where this internet place was everyone was always talking about. Say what?! 1 -

"I didn't see you" does very little when you could have killed me. Open your damn eyes. If you can't see a motorcycle, your eyesight isn't good enough to be driving at all. So stay your *kitten* at home or get someone to drive you. Actually had to lay it down and still clipped someones bumper a few weeks ago, and took nearly a month to get the money from her insurance. I swear, one day I will lose it and just beat the hell out of someone for that *kitten*, assuming I'm not overly injured in the accident.
I live in Ireland. I lived in Arizona for a few years. Can I give you my opinion on your post? Well, it's not really an opinion, more of an observation really. So my dad is 86 and cannot drive. He can walk to the nearest shop for milk and his paper and a few small items. If he needs to go anywhere else he phones me and I bring him BUT when I lived in the US, I met a lot of people that did not have the luxury of being able to walk to the shop for milk etc as their nearest shop was maybe 3k away. Their kids went away to college and are not local to them to drive them to the shop. So what do you expect these people to do? I may not be from a fancy place and may not live a life of luxury but we have set out the infrastructure for society for when it ages. I could not believe the lack of old people when I lived in the States. Where do they all go? Obviously the people that can afford it go to elderly communities but where do the others go? Oh I know. They stay at home and keep driving so they can still live....oh and drive out in front of people like your good self. Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to give an outsider view.
Great post. When American elders can no longer drive safely or they can't afford to keep the car running they're screwed. Millions of elders get caught in this trap. If they don't have anyone to deliver them food & medicine on an almost daily basis and drive them to medical appointments and they can't afford the luxury of an assisted living facility - they get herded into nursing homes. A lot of elders don't really need to be in nursing homes. It's poverty and social isolation that puts them there. I work in nursing homes.
I was raised by grandparents and saw this happen after staving it off as long as I could. I did everything in my power to prevent it, but it was out of my hands at a certain point.
After that, I made the decision in my 30s to NEVER live anywhere where there wasn't a frequently running bus or train within one block of my home. And grocery stores, banks, etc. within walking distance to my home. It means I have to live in neighborhoods which, um, aren't terribly sought after. But I will NEVER be dependent on owning a car, ever, even though I currently have one. When I don't, I'll still be okay.
It really is a sad situation for American elders.
Thank you. I'm sorry about your grandparents. I wasn't trying to say that we do things better here. Nowhere is perfect. Sometimes the elderly people don't want help either. My own father is so stubborn sometimes when it comes to help. He has had a carer offered to him which he refuses. I brought him to a social club for the elderly, where they pick you up and drop you home after which I thought he would enjoy. He told me they were all too old for him at it. He's 86! Well, what are you gonna do?1 -

Posts on mfp you read..scratch your head and wonder what the *kitten* they are talking about ..
Im guessing its because Im aussie and I don't get the political/sport/current affair or innuendo but some posts I swear the poster is drunk or high cause they just don't make sense. They may as well just post their shopping list ..

People who reach over my food- bonus points if it's an elderly person because all I can imagine is dead skin flakes
And yes, I know they can't help it but this is my pp soooo...
Also, people who bring their dogs EVERYWHERE. I'm not talking about the park or petsmart, but the ones I've seen in Walmart/Target, at my kids' soccer games, restaurants, etc. They claim that their dog is nice or well behaved but all it takes is one random soccer ball getting kicked their way or the smell of something/someone in Walmart and there could be a dangerous situation. Not to mention people with allergies or fears of dogs/ptsd. This goes hand in hand with the people who lie and say their dogs are service dogs so they can bring them everywhere.2 -

My 8 yr old daughter was attacked by a dog when she was younger and is deathly afraid. It's hard enough to take her to visit friends/relatives with dogs but to go to a store or something and dogs are there is extra stressful.1 -

I don't like when someone with a dog will ask your kids "Go ahead, do you want to pet it, its friendly".......Because first of all that is MY decision if I'm going to allow my child to pet some strangers dog and if I think its friendly enough for my kids to pet it...I"m sorry stranger but when it comes to my kids I don't care if you think your dog is mary effing poppins.....don't come up and shove it at my kids saying go ahead pet it..... You'd be surprised how many times this happens when i'm at the park with my five year old. We have dogs...my kids are fine with our dogs, I trust our dogs...but I am always wary of strangers dogs........
