God bless you are right. I love Monk but you are right. I am nowhere near there.

BUT BUT BUT...

..I do all my cooking on Saturday, have done this my entire life. I was a women's libber, bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a pan.

I just sorted my medicines into a special container, by day, morning and eve. I cut my iron pills in half, half in morning, half at night.

And you see my post I do every week of my daily entries? I post in full HTML code and with the touch of a key I change it from MS-Word to HTML.

CNTR-D is to insert a >>

....for date.

CNTR-B is for bold, it pulls up the paragraph below and puts a

around it. Same with italics. Use Cntrl-P to take all the text and add

at the end of each.

Wrote my own macros cause folks, I can program anything to do anything. I can make Excel sing across the sky. MS-Word is for me.

I also used to do payroll and used a comptometer. Does anybody know what that is?

Yeah, this was the era before calculators. I paid people on that thing. My fat fingers kept getting stuck and I was the first person they moved to an electronic calculator!

I showed this to my granddaughter and she was really wowed. Heh.

I prepare all my outfits for the week upcoming, including church, casual.

Heh.

I really am not bragging. It is what it is. But organized people just get more done.

Speaking of being organized, no offense to the males on this thread....but guys just don’t have a sense of order like a female.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Sorry all for the thread drift, but just had to answer Pat.

Yup I know all about comptometers and the old Monroe mechanical calculators too. I worked in sales for Burroughs Corp in 60's and 70's.

And get this - that first electronic calculator which is similar in function (not size) to those you now often get free as an advertising promo for banks etc -- size = 8x12, 4 function (+ - x /), 1 memory register - $1,695.

And you know what- we sold a ton of then at that price.

I actually have one, looks about like that too. Came from a retired railroad timekeeper.
