Well, it wasn't a 'surprise' meetings but I have met 'Dave/George', Davemidohio, 'Poppy' who use to be a regular on this forum but now is on another very popular one (let's just admit it's 'Hallson's') and 'Buff24', who use to be a regular, as well, but being a working mom of a toddler with another baby on the way is kinda time-consuming, don'cha know! I did meet another former poster, 'Valerie'--we met at our local sale--she lives in Cincinnati, as I recall! Oh, and last but certainly not least, 'HostaFreak/Phil'! He and his wife made an over-night stop in Dayton, last summer, on their way north of us--and spent the evening with us--what a nice occasion that was. The first 3 of us, have gone on field trips to nurseries and been in one another's homes, though it has been awhile since we've done that. Buff & family got to meet Phil at our house when they stopped by, too! Their little girl is the spitting image of Buff--her name is Makenna! Hope I spelled that right this time!!! She was and still is adorable!! Hosta folk are certainly the best! I highly recommend connecting if you ever can. McT and I are 'working' on a way to get together and I am hoping 'thisismelissa ' will be coming through this summer, too! I always welcome the opportunity to meet 'the folks' who I've come to look forward to coming to this forum and seeing what you are doing and saying each day!

In my limited experience, 3G is often problematic. It's best not to use it unless you must, like in the car, or for those features which only work on 3G. It also saves you bandwidth to use wifi when available. It's possible that your 3G was running slow and timing out before the information made it to the site. Where I live, theoretically we have 3G on all networks and 4G on some, but in reality we're usually on the Edge network or equivalent, which makes it more or less impossible to use it for anything more than text email.

You could always use the "forgot my password" link and they'll send you info on how to change it. This would come in handy only if you have your e-mail linked to your IPhone (I have 2 e-mail accounts linked to mine). Also - the IPhone has a notepad and you can store multiple pages of notes. I use mine for grocery lists, reminders, etc. You could store some of the less important passwords there. I wouldn't store bank info or anything like that on there, though.

Sue - Your Frenchies would be adorable even if photographed through cheesecloth. I wonder if your DH has the XR, it's only slightly larger than the XS. The XS is 5.8, the XR is 6.1 and the SX max is 6.5 The sales associate said the 2 main differences is the XS has a dual rear camera while the XR has one, and they have different displays. I'm not sure I could discern the difference. Maddie - that's a good point. When I go back I'll have to hold it like I'm talking on it. I don't use my phone for very long periods of time the way my kids do and the earphones would be helpful. And to make this even more confusing for me - my son just gave me an iWatch - it's the series 4 with cellular. Verizon had a special offer for 2 weeks - buy one iWatch and get a second one for half price. It was a wonderful gift, especially since DH has had several health scares and now he can reach me even if I'm in the pool at the gym ----but now it means I have to learn how to use 2 new pieces of technology. The only thing that would be worse would be if I had to get a new car too.
