Driving me daisy….crazy

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Welcome back!

My computer is driving me CRAZY. *^%$^%$#()(_&%$#

If IT thinks a link is taking too long, it puts up a message that it timed out. Yeah, RIGHT…I don’t think so. IF I am working on something and it hasn’t had computer messages going back and forth, say I am typing something…it disconnects me from the internet.

Who designed this crazy stupid junk? I would dearly like to give that person some of my point of view when I get disconnected, interrupted, and in general driven crazy. I was e (*&%$) it did it again! I am beginning to HATE computer and their supposed logic boards. There is no logic to something deciding - 0n its own - to disconnect when it hasn’t been asked to.

Did you know…..

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

There are a lot of different types of check out registers that can be used at a business? There bar code scanners, POS systems, and other things.

Some of these systems will automatically keep track of what is being sold, and will tell you when something needs to be restocked, and then there are other……..

In other words, blah, blah, blah into infinity. I never knew there were so many different ways that people could spend money and the retailer can keep track of what is being sold and when it should be re-ordered.

I was told, growing up that computers would help to make things easier and simpler.

DUH, I don’t think so.~~~~~~~~ That is paperwork, friends. Computers have made paperwork even more essential. :)

Do Not Call

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I have been on the Do Not Call list for years.

That however, does not stop bothersome people from calling. There is something that you can do about it. I made a link in the sentence at the beginning of this blog, where the words ‘Do Not Call list’ are put. If you click on it, it will take you to the official site to take care of such things.

Games 11

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Yup, here I go writing about another on-line game.

I have a few favorites of course, but this is one of those that I keep going back to. It is called Yeti Bubbles. The sound effects are hilarious. The music, I usually turn off while I play away. Then I get hear the Yeti scratch his rump! (snicker) Okay, okay, I know that I am not 8 years old anymore, but I still have a wacky sense of humor. :P

Spirometer

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Yes, I did spell that correctly. The word spirometer stands for a medical device that is used for those with breathing problems like COPD. It somehow measures your breath and with associated tests the doctor can tell about what your lung power is like.

I have seen some of the things used for testing sleep apnea, even though I had no idea what the different things did. It is amazing what medical science can come up with to take care of humans. I saw an ad in the waiting room while mom waited for her doctor to see her. Some magazines had pictures, some recipes, some were nothing but words, but this one word caught my attention. I at first wondered if I was reading it correctly. I was, but I still do not quite understand what it was that I was reading about. Of course, I am not a doctor, just nosy after all. :)

Games 10

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Found another new game. WARNING, this game is very addictive.

It is sponsored by the web site Fupa.com. I have played this thing until my eyes go blurry.

I try to walk away and just cannot. Try it, but set the alarm to remind yourself to do something else. I forgot to eat, also. :)

Light bulbs

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Well, all that I can say is the light bulb in the living room finally gave up the ghost.

Of course the light in the bathroom had to go, too. The bathroom light fixtures that we have do not make it easy to replace any type of light bulb.

Of course that is especially true since we live in an apartment complex that is supposed to be for seniors and handicapped. You’d think that the designers would have thought about that from the first.

No one ever said that designers were logical though. Have you heard the expression - ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED? Designed my foot. A woman’s size eleven foot might give some of those designers a better idea of what to do with some of the things that I’ve seen. Of course, that is another blog.

Transferring

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

I am not transferring to another country (in spite of Obamacare), or to another school (I have been out of school for decades).

I have been transferring information from one computer to another. Oh joy….NOT. I need a flash drive. At least that is what my brother-in-law who is a computer dude, says. He says that I can put all of the information onto the flash drive, and then zip it into my other computer and then go to town.

Where do I find one? :) (smiley face with hope)

Computers ARGH!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I have 2 computers.

They are scheming together to drive me nuts. Yes, they are!

One is running out of available memory, the other is refusing to send out any e-mails. Why? I have NO IDEA. They are driving me nuts.

When things get tough computer wise, I just remember…they were designed by human beings to drive other human beings crazy. :)

Yup, that’l do it for sure.

I’m bored

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I am bored.

Great news isn’t it? Well, I guess that we all get to that point at one time or another. We have an entertainment center with TV, VCR, tapes (yes tapes), DVD’s, and a lot of other stuff on it. I just wish that entertainment centers would also come with their own entertainment.

I really don’t feel like watching a movie. TV does not really suit me right now. Maybe a book to read would be nice. The books that I have in our home, I have already read. I guess that I could go to sleep and join the millions of others in dream land. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - oops, see ya laters.
