Hello, @LynneS930241, and welcome! I'm also a "Lynne with an e"😊

 

One way to get started with the AARP Online Community is to join in the Introduce Yourself forum and tell us a little about yourself and your interests. This way we can suggest some forums and discussions that may be of interest to you.

 

Thanks for being here!

thanks for replying I will go and try to find introduce yourself . It is fun to find Lynne with an e. My mother and father thought I was a boy and they had my name picked out after my grandfathers  which was raymond and Linn so they called me lynne  rae. How did your name come to be spelled with and e?

@LynneS930241, Lynne Rae has such a nice ring to it and how clever of them!

 

Since our last name is short my parents just thought it looked better to add the e and also when my whole name was spelled out with Regina, my middle name. But more sentimentally, it was a way to remember my late sister, Elizabeth Lynne, who passed away at age 2. They gave her name partly to me, Lynne Regina, and my sister, Karen Elizabeth.

 

By the way, this is the Introduce Yourself link: https://community.aarp.org/t5/Introduce-Yourself/bd-p/IntroduceYourself.)

 

Nice chatting with you😊

Hello: Where in AZ are you? I came out here to help my Aunt, who has cancer. Honestly, not enjoying it here very much. 
What exactly would you like to chat about?
How many lady friends are you chatting with?
I’d like to know how to get to “the private forum” or just chat via our individual email 

addresses. I’m not one to chat via open forums.

hope you’re doing well. Look forward to connecting with you.

There are no messages to reply to.  This site needs some work.

This site does need some work.  I don’t even know how to maneuver through it and I am very tech savvy.

@LynneS930241 I don't think you're doing anything wrong just not too much activity here

Regular Contributor

oh is that whats up? sorry for butting in; i was lost too. its nice to finally connect after not hearing from anybody; its like the last man on earth for a long time,then he finally sees somebody, anybody to talk to. Like the movie Castaway (Tom Hanks) there was nobody so he painted a face on a volleyball and named it Wilson (famous maker of sports balls).

Don't understand why the messages aren't in date sequence.  The original post started in 2018.  Confusing indeed.

Periodic Contributor

Its not in date order due to people respond to different replies, I just received five emails in one day from this post, someone started talking about sex on google or something like that, and i got all the replies.

Hey Barry, I'm Rebecca.  Welcome!  You might want to take time to see how all of this works.  This site is not very user friendly.  Have a great day!
