When I was a child, I often had tonsillitis or strep throat. While most physicians would suggest removal of the tonsils, my docs usually hedged around that solution, because of my bleeding disorder.  So, last week, Friday the 13th, of course, I felt a swollen gland under...

I am in no way, shape, or form what one would call a techie or whatever, so I may use my own jargon here and there, but you'll probably still get where I'm coming from. This "New Twitter" stuff is driving me bonkers. I understand wanting to update, upgrade, or integrate...
