purdygood 355 Posted March 10 If you are using a iphone and trying to hide texts from your girlfriend by deleting them... just know... they aren't deleted. They go into a deleted file for 60 days. You have to click edit at the top, then show recently deleted and delete them again from the deleted file. It it it happened to a friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually just did this. My son and I are taking golf lessons, and we meet for lunch beforehand. I just looked back to see how early we met last time, and as a bonus, it reminded me that I brought takeout to his place last time and it worked well (he lives close to the course).

When something newsworthy happens I swing on by to see if you guys are talking about it. Heard about the Israel/Palestine peace agreements with Trump at the helm and possible Nobel Peace Prize suggested, came to read about opinions here. Then I saw a this old thread of mine.
