This past weekend has been one
frustrating
thing after another. First my printer acts up.
Then my email account went wild. I
have
Thunderbird, which controls all 3 of
my email
account.. The one I use the most is hotmail,
and then I have my personal one..
only family
has that.. and then one that Google
decided to
assign to me because of this blog
when Google
took it over. All this happen over night.. I had shut
down everything the night before…
and open it
up in the morning.. It asked me for
my password.
I don’t have to give it every time. So what is with
this.. but put it in.. it told me it
was the wrong one.
WHAT? It is a simple one.. in fact I
was thinking
I should change it.. After several
frustrating moments
I went on line and changed it to a
very complicated
one. Still not it. I could go on line, just not
get any
emails.. Then I decided to try out the printer. It
tells
me after printing half of the page..
that there is an
error. But no where to tell me how
to fix such an
error. So went on line..back and forth.. trying this
trying that.. NOTHING.. NIL..
But before I decided to commit a
felon, and kill them
both.. I turn them off.. and gave it
to God. To calm
my nerves. But all night long, it would run thru my
brain.. maybe it was this… maybe it
was that…No,
brain shut up.. go to sleep.
Got up and didn’t touch it until
10am.. I turn it
on.. and up came the request for the
password.
I hung my head low.. and typed it
in. AND LO AND
BEHOLD… IT WORKED.. Happy dance.. thank
you Lord… then on to the printer..
not so lucky.
after cleaning, it …in several
different ways, the
machine took the paper.. and for all
sense and
purpose… it took that paper in,
twisted it.. smashed
it, as good as any boss who takes
your hard work and
crumbles it beyond recognition, and
then jammed the
machine.
I walked away, and got myself a cup
of coffee… and
went back.. slowly got the paper
out.. all the pieces.
started it again.. running, lining
up, printer status report.
Took and unplugged the printer at
the printer and at the
plug on the floor… went and drank my
coffee… came
back.. plugged everything in.. Wa la…
the paper gets received.. and goes thru the printer… and came out….
BLANK… over and over.. back to
research.. pages and
pages of reading.. last word… if you
have tried all of
this.. then the driver is shot… (why
couldn’t it told me
that a hour or so ago.)… Went to
Staples to see
what they had.. Had a really weird experience
…See
the nerd or what ever she called him…
told me that the
printers don’t last long anymore..
about 6 months is
average. WHAT? Then he shows me the expensive
one.. told him that was out of my
price range.. we talked
about the pros and cons of each..
finally he says.. well
you would want this one that sells
for $199..and get it
Insured and get your money back.. And
I said no.. if
I am going to be putting out of
pocket money, I am
going cheaper $79.. after all you
said they all die in 6 months. Figuring he was full of bull.. I left.. Went to
Walmart..
very nice gal.. had one like the one
I was going to get
for $59…had it 6 years.. ink is
cheaper than my old
one.. So sold.. came home and hooked
it up.. still
simple enough I didn’t need the kids
to do it for me.
Have I mention before.. I HATE
ELECTRONICS.. especially
when they don’t work.
