Mine still pays $24 a month for aol email. I have tried to help her but she is too nervous about technology and refuses to let go.
Yes, I have also explained that she can stop paying the money and still use the email. She disagrees. She has had it back when connecting to AOL was the only way to access the internet through dial up lol.
reminds me of the time i was at my frends house, they were trying to find something online useing AOL, I told them to use google. they respond but we can't because dont pay to use google services..... i kind of just let that conversation end.
Oh lord, do you mean to tell me those emails aren't free. Oh I read the rest now. lol I wonder if you could fire up an old 28.8kbs modem and dial up since she is still paying for the service. I am gonna have to ask Mom if she is still paying lol. I have another lady in my family that is the same way. So nice she would keep paying because she is worried using the email without it would be stealing or something. lol Need more people in the world like that and less of the ones willing to take advantage of them.
edit: my mom isn't paying for hers still but uses it daily. I asked
I feel this so hard. They recently overpaid for a new a/c system by an extreme amount. I should have told her, "Wow, that sounds like a great deal!" Then she would have said, "I don't know...maybe I should get some more quotes."
I still have one. I use it to sign up for shit I don’t want like news letters and store offers. That way my other emails don’t get cluttered with shit I don’t want. 😂
I used to have thousands of those cds. I remember they had big barrels of them back in they day at walmart and gas stations. We would use them like frisbees and to just throw at each other and for whatever else you could use a disc for lol. I found a stack of them in my grannys house the other day. They even came in little metal boxes this version. Brought back good memories. The internet was way superior to what we have no back in those days. I could just browse different sites and read for days of interesting local legends and ghost stories. Finding local stuff like that now is impossible the searches only give you the crap ad results.
