Tawnya | 4040 comments How is it possible for someone to have over 50,000 edits in a week? Going by the warning, we should only be able to do 21,000. I know that the system is screwy though. It has allowed me to do 5,000 in a day before cutting me off. (At this point, it is almost an addiction-lol) One time I didn't even get to the 3,000 and I got the warning. Every morning I check my count and put it in my spreadsheet. Spreadsheets might be my other addiction. Geez, I am such a dweeb

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7858 comments But we love your dweebiness, Tawnya!

btw, my daughter inherited my spreadsheet addiction. I asked her a question, and she said "Let me check my spreadsheet." When I commented "Oh, you have that in a spreadsheet?" her response was "Well, yeah, Mom. Spreadsheet!"
😂😎

Tawnya | 4040 comments 💕 It shows that we all value information that is neatly categorized.

I am a bit of a Luddite.
I fought using excel for years, thinking it was too complicated. I had a CD of MSWorks from Win 98 that I loaded onto the next few computers. Then in 2022 I bought the thing I have now. It doesn't have a bloody CD drive. I bought one of the drives you can plug in. It found the CD and said it couldn't install. Being forced to use excel showed me how much more I can do, so yeah for forced obsoleteness.

The same thing happened to me with music. The only reason I stopped buying cassettes was the new car I got back in 2002 only had a CD player. The Fiat I bought in 2016 doesn't even have that. I got a year free of Sirius and found I loved it. Being able to play it on my computer was neat. The family made me get a smartphone. It sits on my desk. I use my flip phone still. It says that I can use Sirius on the phone, but I don't know. I loaded a game site I used to go to and the difference was so severe that I never used it. Same thing with using it to read my books. I have my original Kindle from 2016 and a lighter one from 2021. I am amazed the 2016 one still works, since I use it daily.

I will stop blathering now.
