Is there another Redit area dealing specifically with problems setting up google groups and adding 200 people with different email types? These are for old people, who aren't very techie and don't like change/ Someone said to, "just get them to change from yahoo, outlook, etc, etc etc". This is like asking them to do backflips.
I posted this in another redit area and it got bounced for not being allowed. Let's start over and see what happens:
Myself and co-admin / owner created test google group of 12 members in July. Member emails ranged from gmail, yahoo, outlook, charter, hotmail, ATT, Charter and more. With except of one yahoo user, all were added or invited/accepted. For some reason when adding the Yahoo user, Groups wont add the ID. It, sends am invite and puts in "pending". There is no notice to the yahoo person of invite rejection, nor anything in spam. Repeated clearing pendings, doing adds, invites and it's the same thing. Inability to add this ID.
My email is gmail but ironically, I also have a throwaway yahoo account. My co-admin was able to add me. It was in my spam, but a simple (no spam) fixed it. Over several weeks many tests were done and all worked. Yesterday, I did another test with the test group and linked it to a 20 question google form survey about a community issue.
The survey test worked great and dumped responses into a spreadsheet. The survey to test group wasn't hypothetical it was real. The survey distribution is a beta test ahead of distribution to 200 community residents. WE wanted it to be bullet proof as the community ranges from 55 yrs to 92.
Most are at least able to use regular email text on phones (and play Woordie or other games) but still a lot of grey hair. I'm also in the grey hair category but I've been banging on a keyboard, My first was in 1968 connected to a computer with vacuum tube in a big air conditioned room. From there to PCs, network engineer, then kicked into management.
So we created another google group actual communication with everyone. I'm in the painful process off adding IDs and not happy with google making me add 5 or less as members, Then further getting in my way having to jump through captcha or pick out pictures of cars, busses, bicycles etc in between.
This takes us back to the original yahoo member who still can't be added to the test group and now, the almost ready for prime time group, Even more daunting, as I add IDs to what will be the live system, there are more people with email that through up roadblocks preventing google from adding them.
Anyone know a solution to this?
Advice for an 81 yr old male weighing 310, still able to be somewhat active, (drive, shop, walk short distance). Yes, keeping dry, clean, etc is obvious. It's the inevitable drips when peeing or just after that make underpants damp.
Dampness does not affect the glans. Rather, on the right side testicals contact inner thigh. Friction and moisture not only cause a rash but irritate skin tags. Lar August, returning from 10 day road trip with wet pant often, doc (female) cut off about 10 tags. Not only hurt but way embarrassing.
Liquid antitfungal is sprayed or powder spray. When rash hurts, antifungal cream is appied at night but makes it greasy between legs.
Change underwear in a public bathroom stall? Not happening for a big guy.. Take a shower? At Walmart or other grocery store or highway rest stop? Not likely!
Sit to pee? Shortness and large testicles make it hard to aim down. Stream shoots out between porcelain and seat. Incontinence pads or cups? Nothing to keep in place. Even it a pad was stuck to inside or underpant, pulling out penis becomes a challenge especially when ugent.
Perhaps the best situation is peeing at a store with upright urinals. Extending as far as possible and a combination of underpans fly and jeans to hold it up and press helps eliminate drips. Getting up at night to pee almost always means change of underwear.
Loosing weight is of course the answer and some success in 2001 (100lbs) and 2012 80 lbs. Although fat for all audlt life, buriend penis is a recent (1-2 yrs) occurence. Urologist want to do major surgery to suck out pubic fat pad which is scary as hell and long recovery.
Also hard to loose weight with lower back pain. Surgery in 10 days for spinal stenosis. After that regular doc want to presceibe Zepbound.
How do others cope?
I'm a home owner, not in sprinkler install business and still tweaking the design. 40 yrs ago, in my previous house when I was "only" 40 yrs old, I did my first and only install. That was easy-peasy because I had sandy loam soil and jetted down a shallow well that put out 30 GPM.
My new home is sitting on clay soil and although my pressure (65PSI) is good, it has low (7 GPM). This was a factor for choosing Orbit's Saturn III gear drive heads. I will begin dgging holes for sprinklers in 2 weeks and rent a Case Maxi Sneaker to pull the lines.
Because of the low GPM, I decided on Orbit's Saturn III gear rotators which can operate with low GPM. I had everything delivered and now realize I have to go deeper than planned.
The body of the Saturn III is 7". I'm using Hydro-Rain Blu-Lock Nitro Saddle Body and Nitro 1/2 self taps. The self taps only come in FNPT so close nipples are needed. I'm at my desk with one assembled to a test piece of lateral pipe and the thing is over 10". See picture (water is my computer screen image)
Is there a similar, water efficient head with a shorter body than the Saturn III and operates on the .75 to 1.5 GPM as the Saturn does. (And priced at $10 or less like Saturrn?)
I've ruled out spray heads because they require much more GPM.
