I guess many thought I had ceased my blogging efforts altogether. Not true, not true. I have been in the doldrums of not having my main computer. It ceased working properly months ago and finally refused to turn on earlier this month. I believed it was a conspiracy by Microsoft because I installed a virus program not provided by Windows. Then I thought, the "Thought Police" have taken exception to some of my writings and decided to censor me. I think now it might be an outdated mother board. I am trying to get it updated. I am pretty sure I have all the data saved on an external drive, but with technology, I never really know for sure. In the meantime I am reduced to using a laptop. It is an uncomfortable thing to try and type on because my thumbs occasionally drag on the little pad below the space bar and move the cursor to outer space where my typing ends up. So until I get my data base back this will have to suffice. I am trying to use the time to create some new poetry using pencil and paper. See you in the funny papers, Pappy
John wants to know if you'll be there tomorrow...in the funny papers... Just glad that you're out there somewhere. We've actually imagined you traveling.
ReplyDeleteThanks John and Vee. My wife usually finds me there somewhere in or near the Lockhorns cell.
ReplyDeleteCan't go away now --the election is coming up!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! "Stick" is right. It's too close to the elections to quit posting now. #mittmentum
ReplyDeleteI use a laptop in the evenings and found it very uncomfortable with all my neck pain. So, I bought a special laptop table that tilts. It's much easier to use than putting it on my lap or on the kitchen table. Hope you can find a good solution too.
((HUGS)) to you and BeBe. Come see us soon! :)
Thanks to the Cowgirls and Sparky. I am getting used to it, but I need for my computer guy to come over and download the files I saved to the external drive. I have gone electronic out of necessity, but it still makes me crazy when it won't work right.
ReplyDeleteWhere there's a will, there's an external keyboard and mouse to hook up to your laptop...not hugely expensive at Costco. Just in case.
ReplyDeleteOne summer, my 14 year old daughter and I turned off most of the electricity in our house just to experiment going to sleep with the sun and living more simply yadda-yadda and we ended up writing some quite nice pen-and-paper poetry by candlelight. You know how gazing into a flame sparks the ruminative creative juice flow! Good Luck!
How're you holding up with the election so close? We're just curious!
