Still going nuts

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Welcome back!

This computer is driving me nuts.

It keeps disconnecting me when I am in the middle of doing something. It might only take a minute and then zap - gone, blotto. The screen is dark and refuses to be adjusted for a brighter screen. If I am not careful, I will have to invest in some welch allyn equipment to help me with my eyesight.

Just today alone ( I have only been on the internet for 30 minutes) this computer has disconnected me 6 times. Most of it just between the last 8 minutes. I guess that I will have to type faster.

I say, you say

Have you ever noticed how different people in different parts of the country have a very distinctive way of talking?

Each part of our country (USA) can almost have its own unique language. Now, if you put those circumstances into effect for other countries, it is no wonder that people do not always understand what someone is talking about when they compare notes.

When I was back in high school (no, I will not tell anyone how long ago that was), I used to take the city bus to get to and from where I needed to go. I heard two men talking and getting louder and louder. One was obviously from the Bronx, the other was a deep south Cajun. They were both speaking English, but could not understand one another. I ended up translating for both of them. My bus came and I wondered what had happened.

Speaking English is no guarantee that you will communicate with others without errors.

Put in your mind all the difficulties that come about when you add in the variances from other languages in addition to the variations that happen in English.

Now, do you wonder why there are wars? No worries mate. HUHN

Had an emergency

Monday, December 28th, 2009

We had an emergency tonight and I got some things on the blog messed up.

One of our very close neighbors got taken to the emergency room tonight. When they were done with him after some breathing treatments and shot and meds, he was released. Well, eleven at night is not the time to need a ride from one town to another.

I took off from the computer screen to get him and when I got back, I fouled up something that I was writing. Oh well………………..DELETE sure does come in handy sometimes. I guess that electronics can be more forgiving than paper at times. :)

I locked him out

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Yup, I sure did. Guess who I locked out? My husband.

I really did not mean to do that, but I wasn’t really awake just yet. He was outside taking to one of our neighbors. I went out said hi, and then went back in. About 30 minutes later, I heard someone trying the door knob.

I looked out the peep hole and saw my husband out there trying to get in. I had forgotten that he was out there. OOPS I let him in and then apologized. He later told me that he was glad that I didn’t go back to sleep.

I have a feeling that he might carry his keys with him next time. That is the 2nd time that he has been locked out and both times it was my fault. The first time I was locked out also. Our maintenance man at the apartments had to go in through a window to let us both in.. As he went in he said that he could watch tv. I had forgotten to turn it off when we both went to visit another neighbor, along with forgetting to carry my own keys with me.

Maybe I should wear a key on a chain around my neck? :)

Still here

Friday, September 25th, 2009

I am still here. I just went through some interesting things with my computer. I learn a little each day. Hopefully the computer survives what I do to it.

Some programs….well, lets just say that my experimenting sometimes has unfortunate results. I won’t dance around about it, although Dansko shoes should help even me to dance, I messed up. Erased somethings that I did not want to have erased.

With the help of my brother-in-law Ed, things are basically back to good operating condition. Here’s hoping that I learn and don’t mess up again. :)
