I've looked around the new blogger interface before, and it's just something you get used to, BUT, not gonna til i have to. Maybe they'll back off, never do it, so many protested. There are changes i welcome, and changes i don't, will do it my way. Have you ever just stopped, and thot about all the changes that have happened just in your life time? Blows your mind. (if you got any left,,,lol) Like me, i take so much for granted now that were huge changes back then. I think the internet was the one that made the most difference to me.
Back in 1996, when i bought my 1st Intel computer, there was just one company to get online with, and then i was limited ,,,,get this,,,to 40 hours a MONTH!! It was so slow,,that was no problem,,lolllololol. That first computer wouldn't connect, and i had fits for months,,about 4, taking it back and forth to Best Buy. Left it there once, and a few days later they told me it was fixed, so off i went to get it. I asked them if they had plugged it in and checked it, and they lied,,said yes. Got home,,NOT fixed. I was furious by then. Called Houston, and they sent 2 people to my house, and they still couldn't fix it!!!,,Can anybody guess what the problem was? They had replaced the modem. Maybe more than once by then. The last one that spent hours on it, asked me to call him if i ever got it fixed and left his number. Ended up with the company picking it up, taking it to Houston, and sending it back in about 3 days. I called and asked,,,????, and the only problem,,all this time!!! was,,,the modem was plugged in to the wrong slots!!! This was 4 months later. I did call the man, and he said he had looked at that, but didn't change it. When they had replaced it, they had just put it back the same. That was the one that got blasted by the lightening later.
Got all my drugs delivered a bit ago. I couldn't wait til the new drug store opened with the drive thru,,HA,, After i spent 20 minutes waiting in line cause they don't know how to run a drive thru, i gave up.
Ate my waffles about 11, after sleeping til almost 9. I tried it without the ACs on yesterday, except i ran the one in the bedroom last nite. Not gonna do that anymore, just too muggy. Not a breeze at all. In the 90s is just too much for me. It is still cloudy. All we can hope for,,,clouds,,not rain.
Going, going,,,gone,,,yall tc, and
HAGD
I know the internet has expanded my world considerably. But I hate to see what the technology is doing to younger people, and especially to kids. I went to a T-Ball game recently, sat in my car and watched the parents & kids arrive. Every single parent walked from their car to the diamond with their phone held in their hand and out in front of them. It looks ridiculous if you ask me, and I can think of more descriptive language to describe how I think it looks. Maybe someday they will be able to genetically modify humans so that their hand is a phone!
ReplyDeleteIt just burns my britches to see parents at the stores with their kids and them on the phone not paying any attention to them.
DeleteThey need to be holding their kids hand and not that darn phone! Makes me wonder who the heck they are talking to that is more important than their little ones, GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
I get myself in situations when I tell someone to "get off the damn phone and do your shop'n". Gripes my buns when someone is talk'n on the phone right in front of where I want to take something off the shelf. Do you think "excuse me" works? Nope. But "get off the damn phone" sure does get their attention. Am I just a grumpy old man???
DeleteNot letting me use,,reply, so, Gypsy, i HATE that, and i see it too. I think we are seeing some effects of it now, like, kids who don't listen, unruly, etc. Need attention. MsB, i told a wife of a nephew one time to ANSWER HER SON!!! He had been calling and calling her, and guess what, she sits there ignoring him,,on her phone which she had been since i had laid eyes on her. BB, good for you! Guess i'm a grumpy ol woman then. Those kids grow up way too fast, if they grow up, so love em, be with em while you can. I lost 2 sons, so i know.
DeleteI think the internet has been the biggest change in my life as well. I too bought my first computer at Best Buy back in 1991 still have it too it runs on DOS not Windows. For some reason I have never gotten rid of it.
ReplyDeleteI am not doing the new interface until they force me.
i remember taking DOS classes, and at the end, a little bit of windows thrown in, and i asked why we wasted all that time on the other.
DeleteTook 5 months of classes later, accidently college prep one. That was about 95.
