"He's an elevator tech..."

So he has his ups and downs in the job.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm sure your both have heard it a million times.

I'm one of those people who tries to figure things out through trial and error. I can't be bothered to read through the instructions, because half the time, you're more confused afterwards. I stopped buying furniture that had to be assembled because the instructions were wrong half the time or didn't provide enough detail. I also stopped buying them because once I get down on the floor to put everything together, I have trouble getting back up :-) I'll pay someone else to do it for me or I'll just do without.

I've managed to master my Time-Warner DVR and record all my programs because I can at least fast-forward through commercials. I also managed to work out how to download programs (BitTorrent) from a UK website and burn them to DVD. Of course I had to get some pointers from my son beforehand. I've been retired for almost 5 years and it seems I have less time now than I did when I was working a full-time job.

Yeah. We hear a lot of jokes about elevators. Odd thing is, a lot of people are afraid of elevators but not escalators. An escalator can grab a shoe, shred your pants and a foot. Hubby seldom works on escalators but he helped a coworker and they found shoes and packages in the escalator pit. It's a dangerous piece of equipment if you aren't being careful.

I'm just tech challenged. I don't think that's going to change.lol

I have to go. I still have a load of roses to plant. I surely enjoyed chatting! :)
