Hi Jackie, you make me laugh because I am old🧓 according to my grandchild (because I don't have to work any more and can take vacations). I admire your spunk. It shows in your communications, too!

I agree that there can be overwhelming amount of notifications at times.

Here are some tips that help me:
-I have found that by editing my notification preferences in
Account Settings, I can eliminate some of the clutter.

-My preference is to read thru my emails and to quickly scroll and determine the ones that I feel are important to me and need my attention - either now or save for later. I also look for those where I might be mentioned by Colleen,a moderator, or another mentor because sometimes I want to respond if I am tagged to respond (needed) to a particular discussion that I don't usually follow.

-I also like to check in on the Mentor and Moderator Group on a regular basis. This is where Colleen posts Information and updates for our group. The [brackets] tell me if she is posting a [Tip], [Idea], [Help Needed] etc. It's also where we, the mentors, can communicate and support each other. I would be lost without this feature!

-My own priority to the groups that I have selected to follow. And to myself-self care is always first.

-Lastly - I think that a simple click of a 'Like' can mean a lot to a member 😃

I agree with you Rosemary. A "Like" indicates that you have read the post and that it represents something helpful and/or encouraging. It does mean a lot, without having to spend a lot of time on a post.

@rosemarya Great tips, I will save this.

You and I think it was Teresa asked me to share some photos when we got back from vacation, so here some are.

In Denver, my son and his fiance are in one photo with us. In the Charleston ones I am the admiral 😉 of the Yorktown aircraft carrier, and there was one of my indulgent lunches -- she-crab soup (yum, yum, yum) and fried green tomatoes (just OK).
