New member who needs all the help she can get!

[irishmcgrammy5]

Hi, I am a 68 yr old female, a grandmother as you can tell from my username. My husband and children recently bought me an Ipad 3 with Retina Display for my birthday. Though I have a computer and actually had a website up for 9 years, I am a dork as far as intelligent knowledge is concerned about it. And now I have an Ipad, WOW!! So here I am seeking help from folks who know what they are doing, hurrah!

I live in Northwest Arkansas; have been married 38 years. We have 3 children 5 grandchildren. Three dogs, 2 house cats and 3 porch kitties.

G'day Irishmcgrammy. First off, there is no way you can be a dork. Simply, plus among other delightful things you say, because you are using an iPad. You are in the right place to interact with some amazing, helpful and knowledgeable people. Got a question? Ask away!
Regards, Andrew

Also, clicked on all ur posts after tapping avatar, and that's where the pm was too.
Still a little confusing navigating here but will keep trying .lol

Hi Betti,

Yes the email link will take you to the site and not the app. I usually use the app as I find it so much easier and quicker.

You're getting there and will soon be up and running!

I see now. The site is what I get when I come here thru an email

Where are the quick links...
