It wasn't my fault


No, it isn't my fault that I haven' t been able to post until now........my s-i-l upgraded our services to an AT&T plan. Guess everything is going to be that way......computers, tvs, phones......shoot, I don't know, I just know I couldn't use the computer until now. My s-i-l had to take the day off today to be here for the installation.......and thank goodness he was. The young man that came to do the installation, well now, I know he must have gone to school for this or been in a training program through the company, but I don't think he won any Rhodes scholarships either.........Steven(my s-i-l) had to show him 1/2 of what was going on, then Steven had to almost prove to him that what he showed him was correct.......hello? It's done now and everything seems to be working............now comes the final exam, ME. Yes me, it only took me a full year to learn how to do the two televisions in this household.........now the one in my bedroom has no whistles or bells so I was able to handle that one right from the beginning. The last couple of months or so, I have been able to pause, backup, record, rent movies........shoot I was on a roll. Now I am eyeing a new controller and starting to feel the first signs of diarrhea..............yes, I know, not pleasant, but it's me........what can I say. I will get the first lesson and then the second lesson and then the third will be given with that "look".........you know the one "what is wrong with you?", now the fourth time - and trust me, the fourth time is ONLY after I have messed with it by myself forever and really have it all messed up........now the look is "and we trust our sons with you." I'll get it, it's just a matter of "when". Until then, will someone please watch Survivor for me and keep me updates, oh and American Idol too........thanks.

Thanks jojo.......I am floundering, but it seems the biggest challenge will be.....all of the channel numbers have changed......like HGTV use to 67, now I think it is 450.....oh man........
