I just bought a pedometer, a rather simple aid, and I'm having to consider how to program it. I don't think that age is the problem for me--I'm 77--I think I've always been technologically challenged! I so admire the savoir-faire with which you use your phone? blackberry? what????

What drives me crazy is that BOTH of them have this private joke between the two of them where they change my ringer tone. I have several ring tones. For my daughter, I usually have Taylor Swift's "The Best Day" and for my partner, I have "Ventura Highway." They think it is HILARIOUS when they change up their ring tones. Liv will change Bing's tone to "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" and Bing will change Liv's to some Justin B song where he repeats the word "baby" over and over again. Sometimes they change their ring tone. Once Bing horrified me by changing hers to the song "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails and it came on while I was in a crowded elevator. Listen to the lyrics on this one, if you have a chance. They are extremely raunchy. People were staring at me incredulously. I burst out laughing after I finally found the phone in my purse and stifled the thing. But...good grief.
