Amused at my old creations

 
Life goes on and on and on.
I miss the person who wrote this. 


 

Today I clicked on a link in a friend's post on FB to listen to a song. It took some fumbling, as it always does, and I wound up signing in to something called Spotify. Not something I really want, I thought, although I did enjoy the song. It was called 1936 by Mark Kozelek and Jimmy LaValle. The music did not stop after that song, so I  tried, in my click and backspace and delete  manner, to make it go away. To no avail. I did manage to delete several dozen photos I had been saving, but the damn music is still playing.

Eventually I came to a page that  promised to keep me up on  what is trending near you.    Well!   I mean.

Can you possibly conceive the depth of my retroactive embarrassment and chagrin in discovering that I had been walking in the world all these years without keeping up on what is trending near me. Today, as the sensitive among you can imagine, my humiliation is immeasurable.   I cringe in disgust at my lack of hipness or cool or whatever it is that accrues to those who have always known what is trending near them.  

I have tried to keep up by chatting with my grandchildren. I ask them about new slang words, such as MILF and LMAO .  Street talk, I think it is called.

Once I warned a grandchild, who was on her way to a party, not to drink anything someone else had prepared, nor a bottle that had been opened already. The grandchild laughed, "Grandma, that advice is 20 years old." So I know that now.

Anyway, my point is, now I will be aware of  what is trending near me.

Does anyone know how to make this music stop? It may be trending near me, but I want it to go away now.

Help.
