When Emails Go Weird

What happened?

Today, I find 50 emails from retail, websites, and information places I am registered with. That is a surprise because it really hasn't been that long since I checked my emails.

What is shocking...my spam folder that rarely has any emails, has near 2 dozen!

What have I done differently? Hm?

Yesterday I installed Opera. 

I have been checking my X aka Twitter page daily for over a week. 

I registered to receive emails from a new online retailer.

Which one is the possible source of the spam?

The new online retailer.

Google Gmail decide to change things up in categories. And for some dumb reason, Gmail now adds emails, that should only be located in the In Boxes, into the categories, Update, Promotion and such. It is a nightmare. 

There are online retailers that I like to receive their emails. As it is now, I will be unsubscribing to all but about a half dozen.

P.S. Wouldn't ya know it...now there's hardly any emails.

Adventures in Social Media

Browsing along, laughs galore, interesting questions, fun in general on X aka Twitter, I got to thinking again about Life.

Science supports that human remains are best preserved where the climate conditions are ideal for such preservation to take place. Archaelogical evidence tells us the area had human activity. 

There is no scientific evidence to date that I know of that defines where human life began. In Africa then migrated to Asia or in Asia migrated to Africa, the big deal over where we began can might lead us to understand the conditions of our scientific birth. 

Interesting thought: What if all that will be left is what there is today? Social Media can cause a person to ponder such questions.

Random Saturday Thoughts

Memory is interesting.

I can remember half a dozen or more long unique passwords, but struggle remembering what I did yesterday. Why? Well, I don't relive yesterday over and over again. I do use a password multiple times every day.

I remember my high school boyfriend's birthday, but have to stop and think of my own. Getting old is easy to put out of mind.

The oldest memories I have are being in a crib, drinking from a bottle, and sleeping on two plush arm chairs pushed together in my grandmother's living room because our attic apartment had no heat. 

Today, if I have appointments, I put them on my no service old Samsung cell phone (ringer on my iphone13 doesn't always sound), write it down in a planner book, set an alarm, and sometimes tape up a note.

I admire folks with good memories that in a conversation, can recall just about anything without hesisitation. As I age, every little thing I forget can become cause to worry I'm losing my mind. Being elderly means being on constant surveilance of those signs of dementia or alzheimer's disease. 

When you think about it, there isn't a time in life when one isn't vigilent about one harmful thing or another. Age only changes what we think about.

P.S. Some of this week's posts feel like reruns.
