I'm tired of everything in this house being smarter than me. I used to think I was fairly intelligent. Not Einstein smart maybe but smart enough to get by day to day with all the fastchanging times we live in. I thought with age comes wisdom; at least that's the line we were fed when we were youngsters. All I have to do is spend a few days with the grandkids to realize that that is a crock. The little stinkers are born knowing how to work all the latest technological gadgets. It's enough to sink one's ego into the basement. I honestly feel like I'm getting a little dumber each day. I blame it on my medication but who knows?
Anyway, about the time I think I've gotten everything up and running, BAM, along comes another complication. This time it's David's computer. It suddenly decided that it no longer cared to send anything to our printer. I know the printer is just fine and dandy because I'm still able to send from mine so what the heck? I spent all morning when I was supposed to be doing my dusting trying to figure out what is going on. I really dislike personal computers like his. I think my Macbook is far superior. A few things I researched were: Is his computer on the right Internet connection? Yes. Is his Bluetooth turned on? Yes and no. It depends on where I click. The icon in the lower right hand corner says no but when I'd click on troubleshooting it would appear. So I tried getting the computer to 'talk' to the printer. It would finally 'discover' it but refused to let me go further. It also, for reasons I cannot figure out, thinks the optional FAX line is connected. It is not. We have never used that feature from our home. All I can think of the reason for this sudden mutiny is when his computer updated to the latest Windows version it no longer accepted the printer. Did I say I seriously dislike personal computers like his? It makes absolutely no sense. It does try to connect to a printer we haven't used in years.
This comes on the heels of my issue with my newest sewing machine. I thought my first machine was so high-tech with its dozens of fancy stitches to choose from (I think I might have used four or five) just by pushing a button. I think my next one was even more basic which I really should stick to. My new embroidery machine was so fancy all I ever learned to do was add names to items. I intend to recruit my sister to help me with that issue very soon. I've only had it for about 10 years so I guess it's time to do more. This brings me to my newest one– my quilting machine. This newest innovation in technology is really bad for my ego.
