I lived in Columbus between 1995 and 2005, various neighborhoods but mostly around the OSU campus and Clintonville, and you look very familiar. At any rate, I was happy to check out your blog - I'm sure by now hundreds of people have said this, but it certainly is inspirational.<br /><br />I was wondering if you might have some sort of general advice for taking up computers when you weren't raised with them - how you did it, perhaps. I know you had the advantage of being a writer already; that had to help. My mother is interested, but unfortunately she doesn't have a lot of patience, and when I've tried to help she tends to get flustered and then get angry, and she shuts it all down and walks away. But she is good at hands-on learning in other areas (she's always been fantastic at house repair, crafts, etc.) If you had any recollections of what worked well for you or for older friends or family members, we'd love to hear them!<br /><br />Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with the rest of the blogosphere! I've really enjoyed what I've read so far, and will go back shortly and read more. :)<br /><br />Take care and have a lovely day!<br /><br />-Sandy Conley<br />(Berea, KY)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3095056210384563597.post-89057560805672853972010-09-21T11:06:42.437-07:002010-09-21T11:06:42.437-07:00Dear Phyllis, You inspire me in many ways.

I'm about to turn 21, and have been blogging for 5 years now, when I started traveling. I don't follow many other bloggers because I'm so busy, but I will certainly follow yours!! I can tell just by your attitude that you have many words of wisdom to bestow on my generation. <br />Thank you for sharing!<br /><br />Shirah, in Nashville, TN.shirah.e.foyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011694145507766623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3095056210384563597.post-61163018903777762332010-09-20T17:33:11.550-07:002010-09-20T17:33:11.550-07:00Found you!

It has been a wonderful experience both for the opportunity to express what we are experiencing and learning along the way as caregivers and as aging adults ourselves. I think the friends we are making on line are a great bonus. As you say, it is wonderful to be able to make these connections without ever having to leave the room. We continue to wish you and D.G all the best.<br /><br />Carol<br />Inside Aging Parent CareUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123911324956533635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3095056210384563597.post-53833005691837709452010-09-20T12:44:14.053-07:002010-09-20T12:44:14.053-07:00This is great ... saw this on BBC online and am in...This is great ... saw this on BBC online and am inspired.

It says that you have 254 followers and others like me who have not registered as a follower but will nevertheless read your blogs.<br /><br />My advice for what it's worth, is that you ought to continue writing the blog for yourself and forget about your many, many fans around the world. <br /><br />I have read through a lot of the comments and the underlying message seems to be that people have been captivated by your honesty, your good humour, they have been touched by the twinkle in your eye and your inner strength as well as your ability to embrace new technology.<br /><br />So may you continue bloging and sharing your thoughts and insights with us. <br /><br />With best wishes, Bronte (which by the way is a pseudonym - writing to you from Tunisia in North Africa).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224723721059104100noreply@blogger.com
