I even reboot it all (tv, cable boxes, modem, computer, etc) before calling them. Of course, it took me several embarrassed calls to get someone to walk me through the directions before I learned all this stuff, but still. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you could have someone write up cheat sheets of things to check before you call someone for help, that way you feel better about calling.Bob & Muffintophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517851052183148808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169839817702622712007-01-26T14:30:00.000-05:002007-01-26T14:30:00.000-05:00Aww.

I'm sure you'll have more moments like that one, but you're holding up so well!<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear what you think of the books. And darn it, I want the JD Robb book NOW! Did you see what it's about? One of Roarke's old flames comes back to town! And Eve gets so jealous! I WANT TO READ IT!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182390014214738550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169745770009358412007-01-25T12:22:00.000-05:002007-01-25T12:22:00.000-05:00You are so funny :) but I'm amazed at how great yo...You are so funny :) but I'm amazed at how great you are doing. Don't you hate those customer service people who try make you feel like an idiot. How rude. These people need a different job. <BR/><BR/>Sorry about the Ronda mixup. When I wrote the review I used the 'h' but in my spreadsheet I spelled it right. I hope you like the book. It's not like her later paranormal stuff. More like a Crusie.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169731395399993472007-01-25T08:23:00.000-05:002007-01-25T08:23:00.000-05:00Kristie, you're doing fine.

Sometimes just a quick reset and you're back to normal. So you would have found the off powerbar and the caps on, along the way.<BR/><BR/>I have 4 Chapters orders partially filled and there's a couple more books I want. The new Allison Brennan is out but I am waiting for one of these orders to fill before I set up another. The dh has been smart to not notice them sitting in the inbox :)<BR/><BR/>S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169703637541108242007-01-25T00:40:00.000-05:002007-01-25T00:40:00.000-05:00I'm glad that Brent came over to help.

When we did the last reno things got so bad that I *had* to figure stuff out and I was mad as hell that I even had to. The anger was about missing Bob but I am lucky that Bob did finally come home and slow down.<BR/><BR/>I think it's cute that you worry about calling the 'cable guy'. I was so gearing up for a fun story ;) I think I've told you this before but when we bought our new computer I called my internet provider so they could come and put an ethernet card in. The lady paused for about 10 seconds and then asked what I meant. I explained that I had just bought a computer and needed a techie guy to come out and put in a card. She laughed and said that all computers sold now (and for the last 5 years dontcha know) had that built in. Ooops. <BR/><BR/>So I never really worry about looking like a fool ;)<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169700656778112942007-01-24T23:50:00.000-05:002007-01-24T23:50:00.000-05:00You know you shouldn't compare your self to anyone...You know you shouldn't compare your self to anyone but you. Nobody else has all the little bits of knowledge and interest and experience and whatever that you do. And no one has the same memory or understanding for things as anyone else. :o) My best friend has a mind like steel trap when it comes to conversations, happenings, etc. Me, when it comes to that stuff?? My mind is more like a sieve...

I did remember to take out the garbage every week so far but one. But when I compare myself to Lisa, I end up failing miserably! She can do anything she sets her mind to. (she was dissecting dolls when she was a kid to see how they worked. Man was our Mom mad when she found out the surgery she performed on her Chatty Cathy doll *g*<BR/><BR/>Marg: Oooh you'll have to let me know what you think of it. I've read the first and second so far and just recently got the anthology you read. Author most glommed for me - Ronda Thompson!<BR/><BR/>Lori: I do know how to bold *g*. I just hate being confronted though with stuff I don't know and no one to ask.<BR/>I've read mixed reviews on TSIM but I'm looking forward to reading it. So far I'm still reading 2006 books - and getting quite a stock pile going of 2007's *eek!*Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169686495673706512007-01-24T19:54:00.000-05:002007-01-24T19:54:00.000-05:00((Kristie)) Don't feel bad about calling your sons...((Kristie)) Don't feel bad about calling your sons for techie stuff. My mom calls (my dad is of no help at all!) and expects me to help her fix stuff - and, if I can't, it isn't like I can just drop by and take care of it...they're six hours away. LOL <BR/><BR/>It isn't a sign of dependence...it's an acknowledgement of their powerful knowledge (that's what I tell myself when Mom calls). ;-)C2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260556835414082481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1169686059266088802007-01-24T19:47:00.000-05:002007-01-24T19:47:00.000-05:00I think you are doing well too!!

When I think of the stuff I've had to do for my mom since my dad passed away (like "how do I bold this word in my document?" HUH?!?!) - trust me, you are doing great. <BR/><BR/>I think you will like The Stranger I Married. I liked it a lot. I'm in a total reviewing slump, but, I did enjoy it. I haven't read the others...Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250972350798310498noreply@blogger.com
