The "touchscreen"...First World Problems? The "touchscreen" screen isn't working on our new touchscreen computer.<br />The 3D glasses for the TV don't work with my varifocals.<br />The food item I want is always in the OTHER freezer.<br />The closest remote control is never the one I need.<br />There's never anything to watch on TV until I try record something then three programmes clash and it deletes my favourite one. <br />I've need more passwords than I have relatives to name them after.<br />When I set up an online account for my MIL she chose the name of her favourite grandchild as her password - and it wasn't one of my children!!!<br />Last time we had a scheduled power outage hubby hired a generator to run the big freezer and one kettle!<br /><br />Gosh I have a hard life!!Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037646455011773371.post-22256561776348709642013-08-01T11:24:30.851-05:002013-08-01T11:24:30.851-05:00Yikes.

No shame in that. :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230362349362748862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037646455011773371.post-26461893994086805102013-07-31T19:06:08.391-05:002013-07-31T19:06:08.391-05:00Well, there was the time a residence started getti...Well, there was the time a residence started getting our phone calls and we got their phone calls. Then we'd have to call our own phone number if they got an important phone call. That lasted about three days. Really?<br /><br />Then there was the time our heat pump stopped working.
