Figuring it out!

So you thought this was about life, I wish I had that figured out, but this is about writting on my blog!

So in effect this a test to see how this all works. My computer knowledge is all trial and error, as reading help is useless to me. I get lucky sometimes and stumble into what works and hope this is one of those times.

I placed a picture in my blog and trust me that was dumb luck. Unfortunately, all my photos are on my other laptop and to this point I have not tranferred anything from the old HP, as it still works, but overheats. Everytime I go to Best Buy, I pick up a smart stick (?) and put it back. I have a 5 port hub that I can use to transfer items, but I delay. Someday soon.

About that life thing...why do things work out the way they do? Example... I use a hot pot to heat water for my instant coffee/tea/ etc, well yesterday it stopped working about 2 hours after I ordered a Keurig coffeemaker. Did the hot pot know I was replacing it? Or was it all a coincidence...I think NOT!

I'm sure the hot pot knew what you were doing and this is a true hot pot pout!

Glad to see you figured this out. You have to love technology.

Hi Delee!!!!

Well, I'm impressed about the picture! I have to figure out where to get one that is not a picture of me, so I can stay anonymous until I get the courage to not be!

I think it's thrilling that so many of us are getting blogs going and so many are checking in. It's a good motivator to stay current. Everything I've ever learned on computer is becasuse something kind of forced me into it.
Hugs, Syd

Delee- who are these three great looking young people in the pic???

Delee said...

Sydney,

The dark haired gent is Kyle ( A's bf), the middle is my daughter, Amanda...and the other young man is my son, Matthew.

Thank you for the nice compliment.
I got the pic from A's facebook photo album (do not ask me how I did it), and then somehow got it here. Guess some things will be easier if I do them over and over.

Hi Delee,
Loved that about the hot pot!! I had been looking at new refridgerators because mine was bought in 85, ice maker was broke and the wire shelves were rusting. Guess what happened? I was glad I had been shopping around and got a good price!

Life is indeed funny.
