I misread it as 'Phil Spector' at first.

I wouldn't know. I haven't kept up with the industry since I left.

As a Internet OG I can confirm. Back in the 90's and 80's the Internet was such a wild and interesting place. There was always a new website to explore and every website was so different from the last. Fast forward 20 years and now although other websites exists people only use like four and all of those websites look the same. If you look at sites like YouTube, MySpace and digg the one thing they had in common was that they had nothing in common and on those websites they allowed so much personalisation on each personal page that no two accounts ever looked the same. Now a day's your lucky if you get your own background pic.

People always talk about dead internet theory but to me not only is it not a theory it's been reality for years now.

"I don’t want to be insensitive, but are people really dying so fast these days? That sucks."

"Was there any early signs growing up?"

Too many to count. I learn to speak at a later age then others. I wasn't able to read a book until I was 9. I always learnt slower then the other kids in my school and instructions and guides just didn't click.

"What was going to Special Education classes like?"

Very isolating. I couldn't be with any of friends and being special needs does single you out and make target for mockery. Not to mention it leaves a nasty stain on your record.

"If you could change it would you?"

Ever since I was a little girl all I've wanted to be is normal. Absolutely.

"I am very curious to know about how you found out about lemmy"

I found out about it on Wikipedia and thought it sounded cool.

"why you use it"

I like talking to interesting people.

"And why did you want to do an AMA."

I have a unique experience and perspective I couldn't share anywhere else.

"Also how has life been? How are you doing?"

Hard. I'm at that age where friends and family start dropping like flies and all I can do is watch knowing I'm next. I keep myself busy. I watch films, I like to bake/cook, I cycle a lot, I love to find new websites and I have a tradition of going to the bars every Friday.

"Has AI been any help?"

Not really. I used it a few times when it was new not much after that.

"You seem to have worked as an exotic dancer. How’s retirement like?"

Only for a little bit. The last job I had before retirement was as a barmaid. Retirement is alright.
