When I was in elementary school we had to learn to use an abacus.

Some older folks around here still use an abacus until now.

My mom still uses AOL, which I tell her stands for "All Old Ladies". She retorts with "I am an old lady!"

I still have an AOL email account, but I only check it once or twice a year maybe. I remember when those sign-up discs were EVERYwhere! 
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I never had AOL. I remember visiting my mom and borrowing her computer and being totally confused by all the boxes and things that were popping up.

I remember the dial-up days. I was hesitant to join LW then because I was afraid my folks would freak out at our phone bill.

When I moved into my condo, I still used dial-up. I had a land line installed just for that purpose. I never used it as a phone. Six months later, I got a cable modem and haven't had a land line since.

Blaze doesn't own a land line either. Says he won't have a use for it anyway. We do most of our talking online (for reasons that I've told you about before :p)

I haven't had a land line in eight years. It just seemed silly to pay for two telephones. My mother doesn't have a land line either. Actually, she has an iPhone (she inherited my 4 when I upgraded to 5). She loves it. She plays Words With Friends and listens to Elvis Presley on it.

My parents are glued to their IPods as well. So are my aunts and uncles. I'm probably the last one in the family who doesn't play Candy Crush or Words with Friends.

It means I have to change my keyboard (yes, I am blaming the keyboard for my spelling mistakes!)

It's a secret trap the Society of Error-Filled-Postmakers uses to identify who mentions such things. You're now on the list.

I was going to say that you posted while I was typing and so if refers to the poster before you.
BUT as it's a secret list for secret purposes I shan't.

Don't worry, Ibby. A certain legendary poster (who shall remain nameless) has a thread devoted to his inability to spell.

Where I grew up in Tennessee, when we got tired we'd sit and rest for a spell.

There was a Bewitched episode where Samantha gets sent back to Reconstruction-era New Orleans with amnesia. It's called "Samantha Goes South for a Spell".

Spelling as a means of relaxation? I'd rather count.

Where I grew up in Tennessee, somebody who was always relaxing wasn't no 'count.
