Every time I told someone that I was 49 they acted like I was the oldest person on the internet, I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only person who was addicted and lured in by the chibi character which is Gaia! I love the items and the Gaian life it helps me to keep up with my son and to enjoy some time to forget the real world for a while! I'm so impressed and feel that I can "keep going" for a long time to come! I have found new inspiration!

I'm so glad for this guild. I'm 29 and for a long time I thought I was the second oldest on Gaia(my friend who got me into Gaia is older).
LL do you think that you could help me figure out a way to teach my mom how to use the computer? She can check her e-mail(that only took a couple of years to learn) but that is about it. Any suggestions on how to teach an old teacher new tricks? biggrin

The being judged for being "old" thing gets old very quickly though, doesn't it? I felt obliged to hide my age from the kids on the site that I work on, because I didn't want to get the usual stupid accusations about being a ****** and the other crap that young teens come out with rolleyes
But we got new software that enabled you to add your birthday/date to your profile, so I put it up there for all to see. I figured it might actually educate a few of them.
First in the fact that anyone over the age of 20 isn't actually dead, and is allowed to use the net for more than buying commode chairs and suppositories.
And secondly, that just because you're an adult on an avatar site, doesn't (necessarily >.<) mean that you're some kind of weirdo!

Serp3 I'm so glad for this guild. I'm 29 and for a long time I thought I was the second oldest on Gaia(my friend who got me into Gaia is older). LL do you think that you could help me figure out a way to teach my mom how to use the computer? She can check her e-mail(that only took a couple of years to learn) but that is about it. Any suggestions on how to teach an old teacher new tricks? biggrin
The first thing is she really has to WANT to learn. I've found a lot of people just don't want to make the effort. Then, I have to admit I had help in learning how to use a computer. I operate a Mac and they provide lessons, one on one, at the Apple store. I now can use my Mac for lots of things, including making DVD's from my photos, writing letters, etc.
If your mom really would like to learn, you can probably show her one thing at a time. Be patient and don't move to something new until she has mastered a skill. Actually, a great place to start would be Gaia! Help her build an avatar and maybe she'll be motivated to go from there. Remember, you're NEVER too old to learn new things! Good luck to you both...

Oi. 75? That's quite removed from where I am. Old enough to be my grand mother though, given that my mother turned 50 a couple of months back and I'll be 23 next week. 3nodding
It's great to see this broad a range here. I wonder if it spans further than the knowledge of this guild. But after the recommendation for this guild was given...>_>

This lady behind Pink will be turning 50. I love how the kids react to my age, especially after we've been talking. I've had some that get their nose out of joint by my age but then I tell them "Aren't you a little too young to be here." rofl
