October 28, 2014October 12, 2014 Jeanne Charters Blog

  Earlier, I wrote about changing email delivery systems for my blogs and how confusing it   gets to be a non-Geek operating in a Geek world.     Well, it’s gotten worse. I can’t say I’d rather be starving in Ireland like my ancestors did   in Shanty Gold, but I sure think life […]
