Nice and Keysy!

I was diagnosed as having a form of tendonitis in my left hand that requires surgery before I can use my left hand to full capacity again. On top of that I ended up getting 2nd degree burns all over my right hand from an equipment malfunction while steaming milk at Star Bucks. So I didn't have full use of either of my hand and had to learn how to do a lot of things with my feet and toes. Now today I still can't use my left hand fully but my burns healed into tiny scars that I have to make knuckles for someone to even notice yet I will still do some things with my feet. My honey says I have monkey feet and if I ever start throwing poo at people he is leaving me. :)

Oh sweets what are you like eh? Well I am absolutely hopeless at DIY (no not that DIY!) but putting things together, you know the flatpacks that come and you have to spend a few hours putting together or should that be a few weeks and a few screams, sore fingers, howls and grumbles and shouting at your nearest and dearest because you can't find screw a to put into joint c and all that malarkey! Well one year I bought myself a computer desk didn't I, and yes much to my chagrin it came flatpacked, oh it's easy to erect the guy said (no pun intended) so off I trots with it and do you think I could put the damn thing up, I nearly gave myself a hernia getting it home on the buses this was years before I got my car! Anyhow I was in tears, I was nearly screaming the house down in anger cos I couldn't do it, in the end I gave up and I improvised, I used a couple of filled up supermarket boxes and laid the main frame across it and made it into a makeshift computer desk! It looked a sight but it did! And it lasted! I could have taken it back but the weight and hassle of doing that plus the fact I'd look a right idiot saying that the desk was ok but I couldn't put it together, and arguing for a refund, it wasn't worth it! Never again have I bought flatpacks, for the price of my own sanity! So don't ask me to do DIY!

I am saying nothing at all as I will only get into trouble but Gissi said that his Auntie Mo must really look funny and that he would love to see a Photo He does not understand that Auntie Mo is still wearing the shades as he has not barked at her lately to give her the Headache and he says that his Mum has been good to Ok I am not laughing honest I am not

Well just after xmas.. SOMETHING happened to the spacebar on my wireless keyboard.. We have "no idea" what happened to it.. but i woke up one morning after hubby had been up at the pc all night and it was STIFF.. i am a pretty light typer, i dont pound on the keys, i like them so i just have to barely touch them! My hubby on the other hand when he types the entire desk shakes.. literally! So i went out and got a really expensive keyboard for us since we had gotten money from my mom for xmas.. and wouldnt you know it, the spacebar on THAT keyboard TOO was broken! only i didn't realize that was the problem in the beginning, i thought it was just a tough spacebar, then oneday being frusterated by the lack of spacing in my typing.. i looked down and realized one side (of course the side i use) of the space bar was down farther then the other! So i returned it and got a new one, and so far so good! i love this keyboard, its quiet and light touch! It's even quiet when hubby bangs on the keys!

Poor mummy! So sorry you're having such pain still! I don't really have any fun tech stories to tell, just saw your post and wanted to say hi! Big hugs! Well, the computer I'm working at is sort of interesting, with a black tower, white monitor, putty-colored keyboard, and gray mouse. I've been thinking about painting the whole lot purple, but that's mostly because of Transdisc's post about unmatched pairs. It's almost always his fault, you know! More hugs! ps I'm fine, just needed some catharsis to clear my head this weekend! OK, maybe a little bit of putting a stick of dynamite in someone's bum, too!)

Ok, I'm probably a bit more techie than the previous responders but I had a computer once that looked like a sick robot. My brother gave me an old Acer once and it went kaput but then I acquired another archaic computer (HP) from work. That computer had a whole 2MB of hard drive space. Plus it got shorted once and only worked at about half power. So...I removed the harddrive and power supply from the Acer and stuck them into/onto the HP. Since there wasn't room to contain it within the casing, the second power supply stuck out of the front. So now the poor HP had a casing half on and plugs sticking out both ends. (grin) -Tink

I am so pleased you are so smart , that MMMMM was driving me mad lol , When I was using your keyboard I was either getting no m or a row of them lol , I think it looks OK too i thought it would look really weird , I am just so happy to be here and using mine again , I hope you are OK pal , when is your appointment for the epidural ? xxx

Awww... I'm sorry to hear you had so much trouble with your keyboard, my friend, but what an ingenious way to save £195!!! Well done, you! I don't have any embarrassing moments to share except for the time when I spilled water on my keyboard, had to quickly turn it upside down, then grab a hairdryer to dry it out! lol. I hope your back soon gets sorted. I hate to think of anybody in pain like that, especially when it's a dear friend. Brightest Blessings in the hope you Get Well Soon! xxxx

I have had to rig so many things I can't remember them all but it just goes to show that the expression "Necessity is the mother of invention". Glad to have you back. xxOOxx

Oh mummymo I wish I had known you were having this problem. Any time you have a computer related problem please drop me a line either here or in email. Your post made me laugh :))) I have a P3 old compaq that the keyboard does not work right, the screen is gone and the speakers are blown,,,, LMAO but I can put a monitor on it a keayboard and some speakers and the kids have a computer that I do mot mind them playing on.

By the jingoes Mo, you are so clever!! How can you be embarrassed by that...I would never have thought about using a keyboard like that and isn't Blutac wonderful?? I so hope you're feeling better soon. I'm feeling a little better. The back pain hasn't gone but it's changed. Instead of constant, varying degrees of a sharpish ache and being sore to touch it's gone to a sharp pain every now and then. I feel weak a lot of the time and very tired but that's because my sleep patterns are awry. I'm back for more x-rays and a visit to the Dr on wednesday next...2 days time. Sending hugs, healing vibes and thoughts full of fun and laughter...see, made you smile! :)

Hi mummymo, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been in so much pain again. I do hope your headache is under control now. Congratulations on getting a new keyboard, as this whole thing sounds quite frustrating, to say the least. As you may know, my desktop monitor has been giving me grief for months now. Some days, I almost hold my breath, waiting for it to give out completely. It does 'a thing' where it blacks out, and then comes back on 'when it's good and ready to.' We've just spent the weekend at my sister's, and she's sent us home with 'one of the older type' monitors ... you know, the thick chunky kind. My current monitor is one of those lovely 'flat screen types,' but it was purchased as a floor model, and maybe this is the problem, as it isn't very old. My sister was able to help with those recent glitches too, and has offered me some solutions, which I do hope will work. As for adapting things, well up until a couple of years ago, we virtually had 'no lights' in our basement. Our laundry room was dark like a cave, and we had an old broken lamp, tipped on it's side, so that it'd shine down on the washer and dryer. The light bulb used to hang out of the broken socket. I know this sounds dangerous, and completely nuts, but I couldn't afford to get the wiring fixed. Miraculously, in the summer of 2006, some dear friends volunteered to do some renovations for us, as a gift, and we now have proper working lights in our basement, including the laundry room.:) Take care. xxx

Honey as you can most likely guess I have alot of stories of adapting things to make them work and most are too silly to even mention..so Doll we are going to allow you the entire spotlight on this one...I'm just so glad you are back. xoxoxoxoxoxo
