NEW MODEM

      I have been having problems with speed on my computer for some time. Sometimes it would say that I'm off the internet for about 5 secs. or so.  It was slow opening things up as in my google chrome.

      So finally I got my act together and phoned my provider. I've phoned many times to technical support and always got through and was given assistance. 

      The other night I ran into all the bimbos they had. They were asking security questions which has never happened before. I had no idea of any of the answers to the security questions. This was  set up year's ago and I'd mislaid the information. I talked to four bimbos before I was told to go to the local provider store and exchange the modem and change my security.

      Today I went to the provider store with my old modem and was given a new modem. They didn't even ask my name let alone any security questions! Since I'm challenged with computer stuff I aske for instructions on what to do and I was given good information. When I opened the box there was a booklet giving instructions on how to set up the new modem.

     Things went quickly. I was being told that I was connected before I new it. 

     Now the only problem left is to set the iPad to the wi fi. I tried a couple of times and it's not cooperating but not to worry , I'll get there. 

      So that was my day on Aug 2 , 2023!

      Well, sort of my day. I worked on painting my back fence this morning.

      The micro Manager wanted to go to the Casino for lunch where it was 2 for 1 for seniors. Then tonight she wanted to go back to the casino for the other senior special. I hate them all. 

THAT PRINTER !

      You guessed it. I had to have a serious discussion with my printer. 

      I bought a half decent (not all the bells and whistles) printer about 5 years ago. I do very little printing. The printer also has a scanner and I do much less scanning than printing. 

     I will admit now that I was extremely challenged when I set the printer up. Some nice people at Brother guided me through the process. 

    Somebody in my house said that they didn't like all the cords with the computer. So the said somebody suggested that the printer be connected to the computer  by Wi fi. Now connecting computer and printer by Wi fi was another epic challenge

     Once in a while Wi fi, the printer or the computer forget that they are supposed to stay connected so they can chat.

    I don't scan very often...maybe a few times a year. So these three may have not been talking to each other for quite some time. Enough time has gone by so that I forget how to connect them again. Fortunately , I kept instructions. Even then there were things that I had a tough time to remember. How do you write 8 on a printer that doesn't have a keyboard? I finally remembered how to write number and put in my pass phrase. 

    Now doesn't it feel great once you've solved a problem. 😊 So I scanned a recipe and emailed it .
