Hi Mark!! Did you ever ask her who she reads, listens to or which sites she visits online??

She refuses to get cable, she only reads the KC "Red" Star, the KC Jewish Chronicle, and Newsweek (although she'll also sometimes read Time and Ladies Home Journal. As far as going on-line, she has trouble just dealing with Yahoo Mail! She's in her early 80s, and I get calls once or twice a week about how to check or respond to her emails. I've tried to set her up with some on-line news sites, but she just can't get the hang of it.

The weirdest thing is though, she listens to, and likes, Rush! It's just that nothing he says seems to sink in! lol

Well, at least she is on the right track if she listens to Rush. Her age is probably suspect, although almost everyone I know in that age bracket is pretty sharp. Rush usually gets through with some time.

At least, she is listening, just give her time, and if you want, give her a " LISTENING ASSIGNMENT " and have a pleasant chat ( at least, try ) on the things she might have learned, and listened to on Rush's show.
