OK, so if you've been following me here (and at my other blog), you know we are doing some home remodeling right now. By doing, I mean paying for.
THEN, both our computers died within weeks of each other.
Ouch.
Thankfully, (Praising the Lord for blessings!) we had the money to do something about it. Turns out computers don't cost nearly what they used to back when we last bought one. We've been a bit out of the technology loop. So we now have ONE family computer. It has to be taken care of and used well. It will be for personal use, family finances, record keeping for our business, school work, church stuff, etc.
And, of course, blogging. S said on the way home from the computer store, "Now you're all set up. I expect to see SUPER BLOGGING going on."
No pressure. I'm not really sure what super blogging looks like but I'm pretty sure it involves you guys leaving LOTS and LOTS of positive feedback so some one's husband will see the results of his recent purchase. Ahem.
And now I'll tell you that S and I felt a bit like country folks come to town while we were shopping. The young kid (actually, he was the manager) was talking rapid fire about apps on the printer, and how you can send documents from your phone straight to the printer at your house and they print automatically, and how you can scan your fingers on the laptop to access sites instead of using passwords......
...and I think we might have stood there with our mouths dropped open just a bit. And shook our heads a few dozen times.
"I tell you Herbert, I just cain't get over it. You just push that little handle down and the toilet flushes ALL by itself RIGHT THERE IN THE HOUSE!"
We aer so up with it. Kinda reminded me of a few years back when we needed a new phone. We were looking at all the choices that had answering machines built in and one of us said, "Where do you put the tape? I don't see anywhere to put the tape?"
But that is no longer us. No sir. WE are UP with the technology and whipping out SUPER POSTS such as this one.
Ahem. (your turn---make me look good ladies!)
I'm commenting, I'm commenting! And looking forward to Super Blogging from you! : )

Yay for Super Blogging! And new computers! And hearing more from Brenda! :)
ReplyDeleteStill saving for my laptop replacement and trying to avoid "computer fever". Maybe if I uncover a few more treasures in the garage to sell on craigslist this weekend...
Carrie wins the vote for super-comment! :)
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up. Those 'kids' really know their tech-talk. I think they get entertainment out of puzzled looks. Seriously. I bring hubs so I can smile and nod like I know what they're talking about. Hubs {tries to} interpret for me later. ha!
Bummer on the computer issue, but congrats on a new one. My laptop died yesterday 8( I am using the kids antiquated PC...it works!
ReplyDeleteWe are homeschooling all month with the Dr Seuss theme. There is so much you can do with his books....math, geography, english etc...stop on over...everyday will be something different!

ReplyDeleteThat toilet comment made me laugh out loud!
You are too funny and I love stopping by for a good laugh. Thanks for always sharing your light-hearted spin on life!
Many blessings...
Brenda,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to finally "meet" you too (although it feels like I've known you for years!) ;-) I don't know why it's taken me so long to comment. I've gleaned a lot from your blog though...especially love the "keepin' it real" posts! I'll try to comment more frequently now that we've "met"! :-)
