5 things:
1. SAVE those receipts, especially from the bookstore!! I'm on my way to BooksAMillion to see if I can get my money back for a book I wasn't able to use. And I even asked the clerk if it worked for Mac before I bought it. What a stupid waste. Wish me luck.
2. Am walking longer and farther these days since I've been wearing my BOOTS! Always loved boots. I think I have wobbly ankles or something, but the boots give me great support, and I can go on and on.
3. Anyone hear about the volcano erupting on the Big Island in HI? through a US news source? I learnt about it last night on Twitter via The Guardian.
4. The Guardian also had a great tweet about The First Bee Count in England recently. Thank you, Guardian, for supplying such wonderful copy!
5. My eldest daughter, age 52, is taking suggestions for the design and placement of her very first
tattoo. I can't imagine the pain or the permanence.
Re #3 : may I point you to Hattie's blog, http://hattie.typepad.com/hatties_web/, she lives in Hilo on Big Island, Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteHave you read her blog? Hello! you will see several comments by XE about just this topic.
ReplyDeleteoops. sorry, Stu. This conversation between me and Hattie took place via Twitter, I think, or in relation to my post on "Where Do You Get Your News?" Not sure which of my Blogs that's on, but Hattie assured me her home in Hilo is not endangered.
ReplyDeleteHad picture of you trying to insert book in mac...kind of like toaster? Good luck with the return.
ReplyDeleteIf only it were that simple--and who knows, maybe some day soon it will be. The book was WORD FOR [yes] DUMMIES. Back in the old days--wasn't that just 10 or maybe even 20 years ago?--Word originally came out just for pcs. Thank you, Bill Gates. And if you're confused now, don't even try to understand "History of Microsoft Word" on Wikipedia. (As G.W. Bush might say, you can read it on the Google.) After various versions and agreements, dummies now can install Word on a Mac as part of Microsoft Office for Mac. It's some kind of cross-platform bidness. (Still with me? Where am I? Shut the Windows, it's Cloud-y in here!) And yes, they did accept the return, which means I did get my $$ back. Whew.
