First and foremost let it be understood by one and all, I’m assuming all guilt<\/strong> until proven innocent. <\/p>\n

So I decided to begin orbiting the planet twitter today. It’s simple. Easy as 1 2 3 the mantra goes. Not so fast cult breath.<\/p>\n

Seems I’m from the Stoopid Tribe. First I don’t have IM. Hey, I’m 57 in a couple months, so give me some slack. My efforts to obtain IM are laughable, as nobody seems to want to help. By nobody I mean IM online sites. Google Talk apparently hasn’t been introduced to Steve Jobs yet, so those guys are out. You’d think they’d have at least run into each other once by now. <\/p>\n

Take a few deep breaths, and email Lani<\/a> for help. She sends Mathew<\/a> and Andy<\/a> — the twitter cavalry<\/em>. They are both very cool and helpful guys, and along with my new application from Twhirl via Lani, I sent my first twitter. Is that even how you say it?<\/p>\n

At this point I’m apathetic.<\/p>\n

There’s no online help worth a used Snicker’s Bar. My password is now being denied. I changed it to the original password and they’re still telling me to go jump in the lake. Honest, they told me my new password was way cool.<\/p>\n

And it’s not just the password thing. I see a message from someone I don’t know and decide to click on it. A new box comes up, but I can’t figure any way in hell to get back to all the other messages. I tried every icon there was. Go fish.<\/p>\n

The first thought entering my addled but appealingly smooth pate, is — All this just to say ‘Buy low, sell high — I’m the real estate investor guy’. Really?<\/p>\n

Again, I assume blame for all this.<\/strong> I have no clue whatsoever why it was working and now it isn’t, and until I get belly to belly with somebody who can lend a little hands on assistance, I’m officially putting the whole twitter thing in the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n

Thanks again to Lani, Andy, and Mathew for their help. It was working for almost an hour. The Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
