I am so excited!!! I couldn’t wait to share the news with my loyal blogger buddies…that is if they’re really reading my blogs. If you are out there, I know you are just waiting with baited breath. I’ve found a relic hair dryer. I just can’t believe it!!! And if you’re thinking that I found it at some yard sale, you’re wrong. After looking forever, down one aisle and up the other, I finally came across one hidden behind tons of new fangled, overdressed, over functioning gadgets that are more hype than hip. After wiping off the dust to reveal a price tag comparable to it’s age, I hugged it. She is so beautiful, not in that outwardly appearance, but in a more subtle sense. Just two toddle switches…one for temperature and one for speed, but not too much speed, just enough to make it a wonderful, soothing, unrushed drying experience. Life is good again!!!

Tecnical Glitches
Monday’s class was a bust again. It seems that there is always one problem or another. Half the time not all classes can hook-up. we have audio but no video or vice versa. Wouldn’t you think that with it being a technology class that there’d be less technical glitches. It seems a little bit comical to me.
Got another one for you!

Now type the letter 'P' to bring up the Program Manager."Customer: "I don't have a 'P'."Tech Support: "On your keyboard, Bob."Customer: "What do you mean?"Tech Support: "'P' on your keyboard, Bob."Customer: "I'm not going to do that!"

Tearful Eyeful
I have a West Highland White Terrier (a.k.a.) Westie. A while back his eyes became infected so we brought him to a local vet. She said that his tear ducts had stopped producing and his eye sockets were drying out. If something wasn’t done he would lose his eyes. We opted for the medication that would stimulate his tear ducts but it was very expensive. Feeling another consultation was in order, we went to Moncton for a second opinion. The vet in Moncton verified the same thing. He did offer some hope and said that there had been great strides done in this technology and that a local vet had performed successful surgery on few dogs with the same problem. It was explained to us that tubes were surgically inserted to allow saliva from the saliva gland to moisten the eyes. This sounded wonderful to us and we were eager to find out more. The only problem that was encountered after surgery was that when the dog was fed it would stimulate the saliva glands and his eyes would water. The thought of my dog gushing tears every time he looked at food just seemed unnatural. Please tell me there’s another way!!! On a happy thought, they would probably be tears of joy!!! We decided not to go for the operation and continue with the medication. What does this technology mean to me? Well, just thinking about it brings on a few chuckles, I can almost feel a little tear forming at the corner of my eye.
Another tech joke for you!
