I have a niece here in town that is pretty sharp, and I will eventually have to turn all of my bill paying and record-keeping over to her, but I want to be independent as long as possible. I have an old gmail addy that I only recently moved my important stuff from to my IP email! When my bank went to 2 step verification (every time I log in) I wnt in and told them I couldn't do text messages, and they set it up so I could receive it through email. The only way I can still use my PC is by using CTRL+scroll up to enlarge and even then also use a magnifying glass. I have 2 or 3 of those in every room, plus a couple of lighted taqble tops ones. and very bright led flashlights.

The proton/Thunderbird option is very interesting and appealing. Thanks to both Arne and canetoad for the rec. I may get my niece to help set that up. I have until Sept. to swith over. Our local Wal=Mart has started home delivery now, but they also require 2 step by text verification. I'm gonna go in person and see if they have a way to enroll me in person. I have stopped driving so home delivery would be very helpful.

Thank you, canetod, for the white out trick. Genius! I may be able to use that little trick for a few other tasks, too. It's getting difficult to see the start and stop icons on my microwave. A dot on them and mabe also on the 5 that I could feel would help there, too.
