The elderly online... My experience

November 12th, 2009

I tell ya one thing, if I knew it was gonna take this much effort to make a space book id I would have said to hell with it from the get go.  But no. all my friends are telling me I need to keep up with the times and get online so I can see some pictures of someone’s baby and their latest men in their lives.  Anyways, I got on the world wide web about 4 days ago and typed in the www.facebook.com and my adventure had started.  I tried to logon up there at the top of the page and it came up in big bold letters access denied so I tried it again  access denied again and this time there was a little thing that said if you need help or are new to this site click here.. So.. I clicked here and lord knows another screen came up with all kinds of mumbo jumbo about typing URL’s correctly and I aint never heard of a URL I said I Am Real and I just want to get on this damn internet to see some pictures.  Well anyway I got fed up with it.. Said to hell with it and had a cup of tea and went to bed. 

Day 2.  So I get all my house cleaning done and supper on the stove and decide that I aint hungry no more so I come sit down at this computer again and type www.facebook.com  Well this time I see that if you are new you supposed to make an account with them and I think to myself what the hell, I bet they going to ask me for a damn credit card number and I just aint gonna be part of that.  But I click on the link to create a new account and it starts asking me all these questions like I’m standing in line to register to vote or drive or to donate blood, cause that is something that’s very important to me is to give blood for those who need those transplants or hell if I may need a transfusion in the next few years.  So back to the story I put in my name and my e-mail address that my nephew had made for me to send me pictures back a few months ago and at the bottom there was some agreement I had to sign it said so I clicked it cause I know better than to sign up for things and not read them, then 5 years later you have incurred more debt with those people than the current US debt about.  Oh lord my eyes near bout popped when that next screen popped up and it was saying the third party someone something another to the second party says legally they..blah blah blah.. What the hell was that?  Well I said to hell with it and yanked the cord out my computer so they couldn’t steal my name like I’ve been told they do and  had a cup of tea and went to bed. 

Day 3
So my nephew calls from out of state and asks what I’ve been up to and I proceed to tell him about this space book thing that my friend had told me about and all the troubles I’d had with it.  You know what the bastard did?  He laughed at me and I couldn’t get another word in for at least 5 minutes.  I know that boy was crying I thought he was ailing but it was from laughing so hard.  He finally tells me to calm down and just do what he says and next time just fill out the form and click the little box on the screen so I can bypass reading all of that fine print and there won’t be anything charged to my name.  My credit is valuable to me and I don’t want it run up cause my name is in some world wide web scandal like they talk about on the news.  So I get off the phone with him and he said he and his wife are doing well and expecting their first baby, aint that precious so please get on the computer so I can see the new pictures after the baby is born.  Well I got right over to that computer and revved it back up and went to www.facebook.com and filled out the little form and clicked I Agree and hit the enter button and here come the next screen.  There is an Error in your name.  You must put your whole name in the required field.  How the hell do they know my name isn’t what I put in.  Why would they ask for it if they already knew it?  I mean come on!!  I clicked the button to try again and saw my name was correct. Honest T.  Well I went right back down to the bottom and clicked that I accept and enter and there went the same damn screen again.  Invalid name.  I get up and get a cup of coffee at this point cause my nerves are bad and I didn’t sleep well last night from the dreams of the IRS coming to my house cause I owed the internet money from signing  up for some site that I’ve never heard of and not paying my bill.  So anyway I get back down there and keep reading and come to find out they won’t accept 1 letter names in the name field of the programming…  So I asked myself what can I put in this last name part that this damn site will take that is the same as T.  T.. I was thinking and it made me thirsty, then it came to me.  I’d just put Tea like sweet tea.  Lord you know I love sweet tea as I was raised in the south and we love our sugar with a little water and tea flavoring.  So I put in Tea in the last name field and clicked enter at the bottom and bam!  There it was.  You have created your account.  Connect to your friends.  So then I just followed the on screen instructions of adding friends from my e-mail account, although I didn’t trust they would not give my password out to all of everyone I know in a mass email like those ya get about breast enlargement and even things I don’t have making them bigger.  Lord knows anyway I went to bed after I wrote my password down on a piece of paper and taped it to the screen of my computer so I’d remember for next time.  I’m tired as hell now so if you want to be my friend you have to do the work and add me cause I don’t know enough about it yet.  Well  I am watching for pictures and someone to talk to me on here.  Where are ya?  Hello?  HELLO??  Oh hell.  I’m going to have a cup of tea and go to bed,  To hell with this internet.
