I have angle brackets on my iPhone but typing out HTML would be tedious and I have little female fingers and still mistype constantly.

The worst problem on an iPhone is that in most browsers you can’t get the entire text into the box to see it, so you have to scroll left and right as well as up and down. And that is just to READ. Then I found two browsers where you don’t have to do that, Atomic Web and Opera Mini, but still the font is small and when you try to post in Opera, and I think in the others too, you CANNOT SEE THE POSTING Box so you are typing blind.

And on the stupid iPhone (nothing FR can do about that) the return key is in part of the old space bar so I am constantly hitting it and not knowing, so my post
Comes out like
A haiku
As if
I wanted it to
Look like this.

What am I, Wardaddy? Lol. ;)

I don’t know whether a full app is needed or if there is some trick to get FR easy to use on a phone. I do all my home freeping on an iPad where everything is absolutely awesome. Thank goodness. But when out, I’d love the same ease. Thanks for listening, John. Merry Christmas!

That is for sure

My writing style

I think I'm talking not writing

My middle boy was with me today watching me chat up rental agents and waitresses and shuttle driver old ladies and stewardesses...I joke to him how we call them flight attendants now

He asked me if I had to talk to everyone especially girls

I'm like hell yeah...if folks respond and enjoy communicating

It's living to the fullest....anyone can be a turtle

Besides when you're old and no skin in the game it's fun chatting with beautiful women that woulda tongue tied you when you were a young buck

People like to be paid attention to politely and engaged

My Miss Mississippi mama had it down to an art.....and now I do it...I prefer talking to women I confess

My wyfe warns me careful if they look lonely....they will mistake your engaging nature for an opportunity

Anyhow..I write like I talk

I do laundry better

I was struck today between BNA, O'Hare and Detroit Wayne International how liberal looking young people are and how ethnic we now are in short order

Now all of America looks foreign and not many masculine young men....bearded or not...a Viking or Hells Angels beard ain't waxed and twisted....they have dandy beards these hipster lads...
