Ten rules to remind us (seniors) (and everyone else) not to repost or forward without thinking about the consequences. Remember, the internet can be a wild place, but a little caution goes a long way when it comes to sharing and forwarding messages. Think before you click!
"The Grandparent Golden Rule": Before you share, ask yourself, "Would I shout this in a crowded library?" If the answer is no, keep it to yourself and your cat.
"The Scroll Stopper": If a post makes you cringe, stop scrolling and think twice. Your scroll button won't file a complaint.
"Meme Majesty": Respect the memes. Remember, not every cat photo needs a worldwide audience. Share sparingly.
"Too Many Cooks in the Inbox": Forwarding emails? Just remember, you're not a chef, and this isn't a recipe. Don't overcook your inbox!
"You Are Not the Weather Channel": Sharing weather updates every hour won't make you a meteorologist. And your friends already know it's raining; they have windows too!
"Political Paws and Claws": Politics and social media can be a dangerous mix. Don't share divisive posts unless you're ready for a debate at the family reunion.
"Quotable Wisdom": Be wary of inspirational quotes attributed to Einstein, Lincoln, and Shakespeare. They didn't say half the things they're credited with. Fact-check before you post!
"Catfish Patrol": If a stranger messages you claiming to be a long-lost relative or a Nigerian prince, it's probably not legit. Don't share your life story or bank info.
"Chain Gang No More": Break free from chain emails! Breaking the chain won't bring you bad luck; it'll bring you peace of mind.
"Remember: It's Not 1999": Just because it's an email forward doesn't mean it's true. Trust your instincts, not your inbox.
