An Unlikely Meeting + Yahoo Mail :(

May 8th, 2014 at 01:16 am

On Good Friday I had gone into big G and gotten my car title and registration taken care of. The process took 3+ hours (waiting time) and in the meantime I got into a lively conversation with a Native American women. I never thought I would see her again, but it was a good conversation.

So this afternoon I was standing outside our gym waiting for the IT person (I give her a ride home most days - she has epilepsy and doesn't drive.) Suddenly there is this women standing next to me. I'm looking at her and thinking that she looks familiar, but I just couldn't place her. Then she reminds me of who she is -- the woman from the DMV! She was apparently dropping off some kind of election information. Small world! Smile

A few days ago while using Yahoo Mail, it stopped functioning and I restarted my browser (my whole browser froze.) When I logged back in, I realized that YM had "upgraded." I have to say I absolutely hate the "upgrade." One reason is that it is much more difficult to differentiate between new and old mail. I even played around with the color themes to try and find one that made it clearer. Ugh! But the other reason I *REALLY* don't like it, is because I can no longer right click!! I use the right click functionality a LOT -- at least I used to. Frown

I'm wondering if anyone else has had their YM "upgraded" without being asked, and what you think?

Only 1 more day of classes left for me! (then two weeks left of the school year!) I only had 3 classes today, and spent the majority of the day printing out the mother's day cards/posters the students have been making the past month. Smile We don't have school on Friday (teacher inservice) so I need to get them to them by tomorrow afternoon. Most of them turned out to be really cute - it is so neat to see their creativity.

I cashed out for GymPact this morning - and have already received my $10! yay!

I wrote another bubble post - about a conversation I had this afternoon with a teacher assistant about finances and also a bit of my letting go of something.

    That is awesome that your computer might be able to help the woman and her family!

    It is so much better for it (computer) to get used, then to sit around collecting dust. Smile Even better if it is being used by someone who can make it give herself a step up into better jobs, etc. I would never have known either if it hadn't been for the boys being kept out today (with them in the group, there is NO chance for conversation.)

    Oh, and I think my Yahoo mail updated a few months ago. Surprise change can be annoying but we adjust!

    I hate the update, also. It is very hard to find the part of a back and forth conversation that you need to refer to. Maybe I'll adjust....

    @Carol, that is the part I didn't like. I found I could 'ungroup' conversations by going to the settings icon, far upper right of screen, looks like a gear...uncheck the 'enable conversations' box. That help me quite a bit!

    haha I never did like Yahoo Mail much, but I still use it from time to time because that's all my parents can remember.

    If you haven't tried it already, give the
    Text is mobile version and Link is https://m.yahoo.com/w/ygo-mail/home.bp
    mobile version a whirl. It's minimal but much less cluttered.

    CCF - Thanks for the tip on how to get rid of the nesting! I don't mind it on my phone, but on the desktop it is really annoying.

    BA - I'll have to check out that link. Thanks!

    I got the upgrade, too, a while back. I think they are trying to mimic gmail's style. I don't like the grouping either, but I guess I'm getting used to it.

    Hah! I was just clicking around in the settings tab to change the "conversations" and saw something about "basic." I clicked on that, and wahla! It's back to normal!!

    Yay!
