Amy says that every time she comes over to the house, Mom asks her to "fix" her computer, ipad, whatever. So, yesterday she comes over and has to fix Mom's printer which no longer prints. It is wireless and for some reason, the connection to her laptop (which is two inches away) disconnects. What happened to the just hook it up together and it works ~ the plug it in method? Is that gone?
Then Amy wants to hook up my new laptop to the new printer upstairs ~ yes, it has been that long since I got it and have not used it. So, up we go. It is not easy and Amy has the most colorful language that she only uses with me, since it makes me laugh. But, she is successful and the laptop and printer now speak to each other.
Then last night, as the Oriole game got started I decided to download a new security package to the new lap top. I have done this process many times. But tonight ~ no. I finally got a lovely girl somewhere in Asia to take control of my laptop and download the program. It took her an hour and added to the hour and a half that I worked on it.....I missed the Orioles 12-2 victory over the Cardinals!!!!!!! Why has this stuff gotten so complicated???????????
Verizon, verizon. I had to contact them because they decided that our wireless bill (that was due on August 10th) needed to be paid on August 8th, because there is a mysterious $100.00 late payment. I track Mom's bills paid and I have a monthly conversation with Verizon and we still have issues. Now the dvr package isn't working ~ if she didn't like televison so much, I would cut it all off. Music is better. Calming. Happy. No commercials. And plus, I like to listen to baseball on the radio. (Win win for me.)
And, apologies to all ~ I went down for the count for a couple of days and it has taken a week to recover. I am still not 100%, but getting there. I need a nap every day, though, and that is not normal. Since it is Saturday, I am going to accommodate my nap desire.
Oh yes, I bought a lovely book ~ Iphone for Senior Dummies ~ so I could figure out Mom's iphone. It might help.
Enjoy your day!
Love, Leslie
