The impact of them on me is amazing - makes me wish a bit that I could go back to college!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15294204009310379754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-63973075676181385952015-04-10T17:40:26.273-06:002015-04-10T17:40:26.273-06:00Grinning here.

Cannot tell you how many times such a thing has happened to me. I usually have to drag the poor person to spend some time with me. My van back in the day, refused to not perform for the mechanic. It worked like a charm when he took it around the block for a spin. Fine. I asked him to please accompany me and my two up the huge SFU hill. He agreed - if only to shut me up. We got half way up and the car thankfully came to a complete halt. Yay! Just as I described. He was most puzzled and we had to call for backup. Man did I feel vindicated.<br />And yes, the college shopping is an interesting, interesting time. It's so fun to get texts from my two now alerting me to the fact that they are spying from their posts in the library on the touring families now. Makes them feel "old." Ha! How did that happen?<br />And I love your make over. You look refreshed and relaxed.Kelly L McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649279572727703824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-68506837730473753312015-04-10T08:34:20.357-06:002015-04-10T08:34:20.357-06:00My computer must have been terrified by the Apple ...My computer must have been terrified by the Apple store then - because it hasn't made the sound since!

When I bought my iPad mini, I was asked to enter my password. I did. It wouldn't work. I entered it 5 more times. Nothing. The geek reconfigured something. Didn't work. Finally I entered each letter/number with a pause in between. Presto! Turned out the numbers were "sticking," not registering -- and not my fault at all. But through the whole process I felt like a total red-faced idiot.Jackie Horsfallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-88018787172143706212015-04-08T17:45:45.665-06:002015-04-08T17:45:45.665-06:00Maybe it was just whining because it was homesick!...Maybe it was just whining because it was homesick!
