:( got another email phone call

he wants me to email this guy he found on craigslist so he can get his phone number.

i told him i cannot email for him anymore, i have tried to show him how to use email for YEARS, and he still doesnt understand it. i told him he has to learn how to use email or he simply has to resign to the fact that he is not capable of using craigslist.

this is a guy that everyone tells me how smart he is/was :( yes, this is the alcoholic i have complained about many times over too. my 87 year old grandma loves email, she actually prefers it to talking because she cant hear anyone speak.

i even tried to tell him to type in gmail.com and he says when he does that there is absolutely no place to sign into his account. he says 'its forcing me to create and account, theres nothing else on the page'... and i reply 'but somewhere on that page must be a sign in button. just look harder' and he gets all pissed off and says theres not.

then he says 'cant you just send the email for me and ill call the guy when you get his phone number?'

"dad, i cant spend my life emailing for you. if you cant take the time to learn how to do it then you have to understand you do not have the capacity to do such a task".

he yells at me 'WELL ILL TRY THANKS' and hangs up.

:roll:

can you email the guy for him, red? i got a lot of shit to do. actually if you want you can program his project cars fuel injection for me too, and run the data lines for the internet so he can get free tv after you program all the shit to do it for him, then actually turn it on and get the channels going too every time you see him.. he likes fox news. i also need you to complete the addition to one of the cabins for him, he started it years ago but only got halfway done... it just needed siding, insulation, interior walls and ceiling, electrical, paint, carpet and all the finishing trim. thanks. oh, you need to mow too, twice a week and everytime you do the tires in the tractor need air and the battery needs charging. also, can you figure out why his radio doesnt work right? its supposed to be batt+ to yellow and switch to red, and thats exactly how its wired but it doesnt work. then tell him the manual says batt+ to yellow and switch to red and suddenly he tells you its backward, and pioneer is a horrible company because of that.

please, be my guest, red. he's all yours.

I'm going to start a thread on my 70 yr old Mom going on 102.

Dad is 71 going on 60, so I guess I'm lucky. He's figured out email and txt just fine. Jut needs help setting up a network printer once over other year.

he has a reality problem caused by drinking. he refuses to even try to use a web browser. way too complicated he says. i ask him how old he was before he learned to wipe his ass. not sure if he even got the hang of that to be honest. fuckin pisses me off because he always complains about lazy people not wanting to do stuff.

If he won't use a browser how did he find craigslist?

If he is in his 50's now that means he was in his 30's once? Smack dab in the middle of AOL days? How did he avoid learning back then?

I guess I am lucky. My dad is 80 and does the web and email like a champ. Ipad, not so much :lol: :lol:

I do feel for you (and for him).

We went downstate yesterday to take my mother in law to dinner. It was her 93rd birthday.

She was blown away being able to talk to her grand kids and great grand kids by Facetime.

She did take her portable phone to dinner five miles from the nursing home. She didn't want to miss any calls.
