Spivey: ROTFL. I need to re-learn that trick.

deannie: I work some times....but I become weak...like those boots I saw Thursday...lol

Spivey: I didn't realize how tight my money was until this month. I woke up at the beginning of the month broke. LOL. Actually, someone charged almost $3000 to my debit card. It took almost the whole month for the bank to return the funds to my account.

deannie: been there...but it was not for that much.....I work in corrections and when a criminal happen to me or any one I know it make me mad

Spivey: I was devastated, deannie. My social security and pension checks had just been deposited. The purchases were all made in England, Italy and another foreign country. Imagine, ver $500 worth of shoes, and a tailor for over $400. I want the bank to track down who it was. I don't like to harm people, but that was just mean and I don't feel inclined to forgive. Of course, I am not using my debit card at any more little stores. I will use cash like I used to.

deannie: I know your pain....they were right here in the United State online I watchning one on best movie....Devil in the Blue Dress with Denzel Washington

Spivey: I never saw that movie.

Seventies Soulchild: It was called "The Genealogy Event" and was sponsored by Ancestry and Family Tree Magazine

Spivey: Oh, that sounds impressive, Seventies Soulchild.

deannie: Sounds great

Seventies Soulchild: It was morsel of an event rather than a conferende

Spivey: Were there any sessions with speakers?

Seventies Soulchild: I do not like auto text!

Spivey: What in the world is auto text? Can you use it here in this room?

Seventies Soulchild: Yes they opted to go with tracks vs sessions

Spivey: What is a track? Sorry for so many questions, but this event sounds interesting.

Seventies Soulchild: Autotext is when the computer tells you what you type before you finish typing. LOL

Spivey: Oh, you can turn that on here?

Seventies Soulchild: just a fancy word for lecture session lol

Spivey: Hmmm. Now, their whole presenttion seems to have been interesting!

Seventies Soulchild: My computer is broken. I am on the kindle Each presentation was 30 mins

Spivey: Oh, Kindle. I have the read only one. Enough with all this technology. I swear, people will end up carrying their house, car, etc., around in the palm of their hands. lol

Seventies Soulchild: Yes I will be getting a new laptop in a couple of days

Spivey: That sounds good to me for a first time conference. Short and sweet.

deannie: Ditto lol I was talking about that to Angela....she said when I go to St Louis I send got the the tech classes

Seventies Soulchild: There was plenty of tracks to sit in on. My favorite was the book writing with Biff and Nancy Barnes

Spivey: Of Barnes & Noble fame?

Seventies Soulchild: I learned a great deal. I don't think so Lol

Spivey: That is always good, learning. If only I listened better. I would love to go to a conference presented by Ancestry.com. It sounds like they know how to present a conference. The speakers, of course, are under the gun to present within half an hour. Makes them pare down some of the rhetoric..

Seventies Soulchild: Well I best get going. I am tired from my day of genealogy and shopping in NYC. Have a good night ladies. More details tomorrow. Bye
