I imagine I feel the way bout turbotax is the way my grandparents felt about Ma Bell, a faceless giant that wasn't human

#Sunday | When I was coming up and moving town-to-town as an Air Force brat, my parents *always called their Mama's on Sunday night. AT&T owned it all then and "long-distance" was *price-y for calls within the US, even the next town over. Distance mattered, and the highest rates were during "business hours" when a 3-minute call from NY to LA was about $1.50 for the first 3-minutes and a little less/minute after that. Rates were lower on Sunday nights, and folks burned #MaBell's lines up!

Long way of saying, if she's still around, call your Mama! Not a text. Call. Some can't/won't for reasons, but I would if I could talk to mine today.
