Computer Revisited
Recall my computer woes of last night. I drowned them in a tub full of honeysuckle BBW bubbles. Ransom and Wes kindly offered their knight in shining armor services to see me through this annoying computer crisis, but I was determined to try again to install that dratted php board for Wit.
So, I did. And it was working just fine. I had to change two settings, but Wit beat me to it, and THE BOARD WAS FUNCTIONAL! I was so thrilled. Until Wit saw it and said, “That’s not what I wanted at all.” Grrrrrrr. I shall think of it as an exercise in helping to teach myself computer stuff.
Did I report to you my book selling update? Remember I wanted to sell some on Ebay? Well, I listed an out-of-print paperback I thought would sell well, and it sold for $30! Buoyed by that success, I listed two more. Neither one has a bid. Such is the world of Ebay, I suppose.
You Are a Spork 
You are creative. You see the world in bold colors.You are a dabbler. You love to experiment.
You aren’t an expert in anything, but you know a little about everything.

I still haven’t tried eBay and I have a ton of books.
I was a fork…
I was chopsticks…it said
People see you as exotic, unusual, and even a bit intimidating.
You are a difficult person to figure out.
In truth, you try to live a very simple life.
But most people are too frenzied to recognize the beauty of your simplicity.
haha idk..I wouldn’t say i’m intimidating, but hey, ya never know! lol
@quilt_cats - I was a fork, too.
Glad the computer stuff is working out.
I stopped the food log because it wasn’t changing my food choices. I guess I’ve been so aware of my choices since I started to understand what it does to your blood sugar. I cheat, but I know I cheat. I hold back because I choose to. But the funny part is that I imagine what I’d post whenever I make food or munch on something. You got me on a roll journaling! Speaking of, better do the exercise journal on DearieMe.
Sorry I’ve been out of touch. I am just catching up on blogs–after being home for four days.
One nearly sick child, and another sick child. I think I have my work cut out for me this week.
So frustrating…sorry!
I’m a fork, or so I’m told.
Catching up on posts….and I agree, you are very sporky!
You never cease to amaze me with your computer skills, my darling spork!
A spork is such a handy thing to have around. I mean really!! Whether your eating cereal or spaghetti- it meets the need! Wow. I wonder what I am. Probably a spoon….round and smooth. (LOL) Now, curiousity will get the best of me.
I cracked up that once you got the board running your son said it’s not what he wanted. Sounds like something that would happen here.
RYC: You must have missed the news. My basement “flooded” because the sup (sp?) pump quit working…and when the plumber came to fix it- he left the downstairs wetbar sink running and PLUGGED!!! I didn’t go down until about 5 hours (or so) after he had left….so the basement was “swamped” twice in one week….all over the brand new carpet! (sigh)
Oh wow. Im not a spoon after-all!!! I’m a spork. Well gee…maybe I should get a personalized license plate. SpazzySpork or something! LOL.
30 dollars for a book is awesome!
The highest bid I ever got was once 80 euros for an out-of-sale ABBA book.
Spork is a funny result!
My brother sells tons of stuff on Amazon. I think it may be easier. Not sure as I don’t know how to “work” e-bay. Wahoo on the learning how to do computer stuff…even if it wasn’t the right stuff.
But you DID get it done and that is something! You won!
spork is a funny utensil.
my niece just left for England with her dh for a month -something to do with his masters? in engineering.
Sorry about the computer problems.. I’ve been offline myself for a while now.. it’s good to be back.. =)
Computers are headaches, sporks are cool, and congradultions on your $30 sale. Way to go!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on the book sale! and good luck on the others.
I will think of you every time I eat in the school cafeteria now; sporks is all they give to eat with. No knives for the mystery tough meat or spoons for the soups……….just sporks!
I am going to try the paper towel method of leak detection first; food coloring if that doesn’t work. (I am going for the cheap fixes first) Thank you sooooo much for the information!
Oh my goodness! hhahaahah……..I am really hot! I just ran inside to tell you……….I think the paper towel detection method would work better for colored paper towels. I used white and when they got wet, they become practically transparent (or my eyes are really shot) and I cannot hardly find them! Isn’t that a hoot?!
I am sure I went looking too early for them to have floated around properly, but I think I’ll add a drop of food coloring just to get it started.
Way to look on the bright side with the computer problems. I’ve had my share of similarly frustrating experiences (both with machines and people). It’s true that you learn by figuring out things the hard way! You can also try selling books through the Amazon marketplace and z-shops. I’ve sold several that way… just price yourself a little under the current lowest seller and you’re almost sure to make a sale. If you have Craigslist in your area, that’s a great way to get rid of stuff… probably not the best for individual books though.
I had a minor battle with my computer today. Fortunately I was able to beat it into submission…
Maybe another dunk in honeysuckle bubbles would be helpful at this point…
I sometimes think about dumping my computer in the tub when I have troubles with it, but it will probably end up just flying through the window as it is closer and there is less work involved.
ryc- You are so blessed to have an amazing husband and he is so blessed to have you. I hope that you both appreciate that and do everything you can to show each other how much you love the life you have been blessed with. It is not something that everyone gets; cherish it and keep it safe.
Well, I saw this a long time ago and just had to take your test. Here are the results:
First, I was a spork. Then, I was Chopsticks. (A couple of the answers could have gone two ways!) Then, depending on the combination of those same answers, I was a spoon and then a knife. I’m just a multi-purpose kind of table setting, I guess! But, I did notice that I was never a fork! Hmmmm. What could that mean? OH!! I hope I don’t lose any sleep over……zzzzzzz! ;D
