Opened your list as a word doc. It say to press control+click … where the heck is click? I have been racking my brains trying to figure out how to view a couple items. I tried control+every key and nothing. HELP!!!!!!!!!
Did I mention I need… HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Love you
There are two things on at the same time (my bedtime) and I NEED to see both! What am I going to do! How can I tape two things at once!!!!!!!!!1
Mom: Hey, can you call me on my cell phone? I set the ringer to vibrate and I need to make sure I did it right. I’m getting ready to go in somewhere and I don’t want it to ring if someone calls me.
Me: (snicker) OK.
[Called Mom’s phone]
Me: Did it ring or vibrate?
Mom: It rang AND vibrated.
Me: It did? What are you going to do??
Mom: I don’t know. I don’t want anyone to hear it.
Me: Use the volume buttons on the side of the phone. There should be a button with up & down arrows on the side. Use that to set the ringer. Look at the display and set it to “Vibrate Only.”
Mom: Oh, I thought I had to go into Tools.
Me: No.
Mom: Okay.
Me: Did you set it to vibrate?
Mom: Yeah but I can’t hear it very well.
Me: Sigh.
mom: For now, I will stick with technical challenges like resetting my cell phone message after vacation and so on. Hey, got any plans for the 4th? And also, is it considered okay to type while you type?
me: What does that mean, type while I type?
mom: For chatting.
me: Oh, no, there is no problem there.
Mom: Hey, can you get me some more Marshall Tucker Band music off your Lemon Line?
Me: It’s called limewire, mom.
Mom: Whatever. I just know it’s citrusy and provides free music.
Me: Well, technically it’s not free, its illegal.
Mom: There you go again, ruining all my fun.
Mom: aASDFGHJKL;’
Mom: 890-
Me: ?
Mom: SORRY i WAS VACUMING THE KEYBOARD
Hey, do you know how to do a “live chat” thingy? You know, chatting back and forth and it shows up instantly on the other persons computer as if you’re talking to them in person. If you know how can you show me how to sign up for that. I have Time Warner cable if that makes a difference. I sure am moving up in this technology crap.
me: I finally put music on my iphone
mom: so it works like an ipod?
me: it is an ipod
it is also a phone
mom: how confusing
I can’t even believe you can get all this GREAT stuff for FREE!!!!! In the past hour I have downloaded through itunes hours of news shows from CSpan (I can believe that’s free, as we do pay for that news with our cable bills), hundreds of NPR, PRI, and BBC stations and shows, Wall Street Journal morning, which I never knew existed but nothing else the WSJ has is free, Grammar Girl, which is super duper and in such short clips that you don’t get bored, Economics Magazine which I used to subscribe to and quit because I don’t have time to read it, and on and on. I have free music too, from public radio stations. There is so many catagories of listening on itunes, it would take a year to get through it all. This must be how the early Americans felt when Jefferson and Franklin announced the first public library.
yeah i looked at photoshop when you were here and its kinda hard for me to figure out. i have correl draw too which is an awesome program but i have to be honest i dont know how to use it. i go through the tutorial and learn all kinds of cool stuff to do but by the time i get to the end of the tutorial ive forgotten how to do the stuff i learned at the beginning.
Mom: So I finally went a bought a new computer yesterday!
Me: That’s great! What kind?
Mom: I got a Dell laptop. And I also got a wireless mouse.
Me: Oh cool! Wish I had a wireless mouse!
Mom: Yeah, well I need it ’cause I’m going to get a scanner soon.
Me: What? What does a wireless mouse have to do with a photo scanner?
Mom: You know, to scan the photo you have to swipe the lazer from the mouse back and fourth across the picture!
Me: Oh my god, I bet the salesman had a field day with you.
I suppose the search goes on. I’m still looking for a carry on bag/tote that is big enough, nice enough, and the right color! We might need a Christmas trip to NYC!
***** is excited to come see you tomorrow.
i DON’T KNOW HOW i GOT ON iTALICS AND CAPS. tHIS SUCKS.
lOVE YOU!
mOM
Mom: You know, it’s a good thing I don’t have a YourFace account, because then I would be on the internet all day long.
Me: Ummm… MySpace?
Mom: Oh yeah, I guess that’s it.
I played with a kid’s iphone today…a marvel. But it seems you still need a computer for pics. But it did everything but the laundry.
Love, mom
Pet peeve: people who don’t take the time to change to ‘Subject’ line, from (for example), “Helmet Safety” to “I need Clothes.” Reason: i’ll have in my mind that we discussed your need to wear a helmet, which is totally untrue. Please help in my quest to put correct subject lines in America’s e-mail.
call or email me. i get worried about my eldest. i know we keep playing “mail tag”. can’t wait to see you all! do i need to bring anything? today, “tada”, we are getting hooked up to the world of direct tv. can you believe it. maybe next will be a dishwasher-
talk to you soon-
xooxxoxo momma
Haven’t talked to you since your trip. I hope it was lovely. I am becoming a nerd. Really. I now know how to program actions on photoshop. You may be interested!
I have two checks for you which compromise the bulk of your inheritance. One of Nana’s great traits as a Grandmother, is that she thought you and Anna were the most extraordinary people on the planet, same as I thought.
I love you.
x0x
Have you ever googled yourself??? I googled “Your Name” and “Fantasy Baseball” and your articles and analyses are all over the freaking internet! When do you have time to write papers for school???
Mom
did you see that scrabulous is disabled?
got the broke tooth. boo.
xo yer ma
I think that we are going to finally ditch AOL. I want to save my favorite places and also my old email. The computer is running very slow. I brought it down to the computer guy, and he recommends that we get a new hard drive. He said that my hard drive is corrupted. Who knows. I was more concerned that it is too warm in this room and the fan is constantly going. I will talk to you later about IE. It will be quite a process to get Dad used to the new way of doing “EBAY”. I may just go nuts.
Love,
Mom
