Turning down time into--tech time.
Permalink  
 


Okay Tom, was that a typo or is it just me? Did you just say the word "enema"? Either I'm lost sir or something seems out of place here. I thought your leg was hurt not you *ss? Okay, I just leave that part alone.

So, what's up with technology nowadays? It's confusing to me that's all. I have a hard time installing my watch battery let alone a "Magic Jack". Besides, what the heck is a "Magic Jack" any way? Is it along the same lines as Jack's bean stalk beans?  That was a rhetorical question in case you're wondering. I'm not a tech savvy person myself, so most of this stuff goes over my head, literally. The last time I tried to fix something it sent shock waves throughout my entire body. I guess water and electricity don't mix. Who would have known?

So, you've been draining Netflix of its documentaries? I hope it's more enlightening than the tax man. Don't get me started on him. Do you want to hear a good tax joke by the way? Well, here goes: How do you know if you've got a good tax accountant? He's had a loophole named after him. Okay, it's not the funniest tax joke I ever heard, but it's not the worst either. I just hope it makes someone laugh. Enjoy the extended rest...

So if you are handed lemons-----

I have my foot up, eating Greek Yogart(thanks Wren) Drinking lots of water (Thanks Dean) And giving myself milk and honey enemas (Thanks Pappy)wink

One of the things I have done while sitting here is getting tech saavy.  I have installed a VOIP phone called "Magic Jack".  I have figured out how to use a proxie server, I got my phone to work as a tv remote, I upgraded the RAM on 2 computers and I swapped internet providers! I never would have had the time to do that stuff if I had not dropped off a cliff! I have been draining Netflix of its documentries, and overall, I feel grateful.

Tomorrow, I start taxes!

Tom

Tom, are you really? The enemas I mean. I"ve heard of herbal enemas, but shoot, it sounds so sticky...LOL, I guess if it works don't fix it! At least you're being productive! Me, I'd lose myself in a hidden object game on Big Fish or something. I hope you still feel gratitude after doing taxes. Such an optimist! I read recently that an optimist is someone who when they take a step forward, and then fall a step back, rather than think it's a negative, they call it the cha-cha. Sounds to me like you're dancing! Me, once I get through this horrible syfy horror flick, I am sticking in (you got it) Avatar. I got a jones for it after yesterday's post. Peaceful movie. I hope your incision is feeling better. If I need help doing my taxes, I'll give you a call..... ((hug)) Chris

 No Wren, I thought that enema line would make Pappy laugh. Hey if you can, watch "Stardust" that was a funny story with a happy ending.  I streamed it on Amazon.

 Good Stuff David!

Yes, the tech stuff overwhelms me to, and before I tackle it I need plenty of "Frustration Room" (i.e time)  You know as soon as you touch one thing, you are going to be on the phone with "technical support" for hours, which I was, so now is a good time to do it.  The Magic Jack is probably one of the true good deals out there IF IT WORKS.  It is a VOIP (voice over intrrnet protocal) That means for $69 dollars you get a device that you can plug a phone into and have home phone for a year-unlimited calling-for $29 (did I mention for a year?) The first $69 gives you the device and a year of use, then its $29 a year after. It is a love hate thing where there is minimal customer service, so if it does not work, you may as well return it, but if it does work, it really is a great device. Mine worked so.......off to the savings!!

Okay guys, ... Who, in their right mind, would give themselves a milk and honey enema???

In the old days, I've heard they got new-comers to drink milk and honey to get 'digested' sugar into their systems to help with the DT's ... But you must have read my directions wrong Tom, it doesn't help to go into your 'butt' first ... you're defeating the purpose ... LOL

I was with you and enjoying your post til you got to the 'TAX' part ... then you lost me ... :P
