A Rough day here--

COMPUTER TROUBLE   this morning---  was online with Apple Care for hours--  Maybe its time for a new computer ---  You know what tho? I had a bandaid on my finger--that I type with--  Could that have been the trouble?----  I just took off that band aid and all seems to be going well-- --so far!--  I use a track pad also--  It might not agree with the band aid----Who knows-----  I should price a new IMAC  anyway-- as if I can afford that!
Anyway, we have sunshine--  cold temps --and no snow falling--  which is a good thing--
So, since this has taken my whole morning, I best get off of here for now--and the computer seems to be working---  FOR NOW! 
I hope your day is going well--

  1. Yikes! Good luck. Isn’t it scary that we depend on technology so much? Kind of scary. Hope that your computer comes on line soon.

  2. It's Kathy. Computer problems are the most frustrating! I'm glad you were able to get it working again. Yes, we do seem to be able to get through 100% of the bad days! Hope today improves for you.

  3. Oh, Lynda...the band aid caused your trouble? That's funny! Right after the holidays prices will probably be lowered on the computers that were not bought for gifts.
    I'm so busy today, too. Figured I'd better comment before I got started with everything.
    Happy Remembrance Day to you and yours.
    Still have Veteran gifts to collect here: coupon for a haircut, pizza for a friend.
    Some Sadie work going on here, too...and Lucky hasn't been played with yet...but, he's eyeing me. Who can resist those adorable faces? Not me!
    Have a great weekend, Lynda. Hope your 'troubles' are done for the rest of it! {{{HUGS}}}

  4. Glad it is fixed now, no matter what caused it. How old is the computer? A 7 year old computer is like using a car from the 1960’s, and driving it in our freeways, not enough OOMPH anymore, not enough memory! A slow brain. Darn it all. It’s like the iPads, they don’t last long, either, maybe 3 years. Take care.

    2. I know they are pricey! I checked a couple years ago but chose to get mine rebuilt for $245. Same as new again and much cheaper.

  8. Marti here. I don't know if you've upgraded your computer any, such as putting in a new hard drive or upgrading the amount of RAM you have in it, but a computer more than 7 or 8 years old, in my opinion, should be upgraded (to a new one). Today's webpages and devices generally operate better on newer computers. When you DO buy a new computer, always purchase one with as much RAM as you can afford, and consider an SSD hard drive, they are much faster. Where I work, I can take in people's old computers, or my own, and one of our managers who is very good with computers, installs more RAM for me and a solid state hard drive (for free). My 90 yr old neighbor's computer's hard drive just crashed on her not too long ago, he added so much RAM and a new solid state hard drive and the thing is FAST! :)

  9. Hi Lyndsa: Com[uter issues are the worst. I am not the least technically illiterate. But the bandaid could have caused the problem. I use an external mouse because I hate the mouse on laptops. If you unintentionally touch it at the wrong time when you are typing, I can lose everything I typed! They are such a pain. Snd computers are so expensive. Maybe the Black FRiday sales will have something? You do good at getting through bad days. Play the piano and relax tonight! Hugs Brenda

  10. Sorry for your computer troubles! NOT good. But glad you have sunshine. That helps. Cold here, too, but sun. So, I’ll take it.

    Here’s to a good weekend.
