nothing works!!!!

[silver]

*whine*

there are 2 laptops and three computers in this house and I cannot

-find one from which to burn a new mix of CD's for my Cycling classes and I'm tired of my old music and I'm sure my participants are too.

-download my garmin with my running info

-upload any music to either of my MP3 players to listen to while running

I'm very upset!



*kicks computers and hurts toes and jumps up and down saying "ouch!"*

*pouts*

but I can log onto Team Estrogen on this very old laptop which does have power and a wireless internet connection.

[bmccasland]

at least you have us...... :cool:

[Zen]

do you use an ipod?
Some of my instructors connect their ipod directly to the stereo in the cycle room.

[silver]

I have 2 mp3 players and neither of them is an ipod I could use the MP3 players on the system that we have but i would need toput togethertheplayliston the computer

I'm sorry but that just made me laugh.

You really are having a bad day. But it could be worse.

[Mr. Bloom]

Silver calls at work to say that:

...accidents happen...:(

...at least she didn't break a wrist, 5 ribs and have a collapsed lung like with her last accident...:rolleyes::)

...and she thought I was going to be mad:confused:

[silver]

Ok,you'reright! I feelbetter now! :o

[sundial]

Poor Silver! It is a full moon you know.

[Mr. Bloom]

I see the space bar still isn't working:D

Must have been in the den when the ceiling collapsed...

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Does your keyboard need a new battery?

[silver]

Does your keyboard need a new battery?

It's not so easy. :( It's a laptop and I knocked the space bar off.

I'm using Silver Son's brand new computer right now.

I'm trying to figure out if I can download the music again into this computer to mix my CD's.

I have 5 blower fans going on in the house the constant drone is making my blood pressure rise.

One thing at a time.......

Poor Silver!!! :eek:
Yes one thing at a time.
Those fans can do psychological harm. And whatever you do, don't watch the David Lynch movie "Eraserhead" right now!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[silver]

One thing at a time.....

I'm RE-ripping my CD collection to Silverson's new computer and will soon (hopefully) have the ability to mix a new CD.

Using SS's computer so don't have to deal with the broken space bar (I'll deal with that later)

Just met with another water damage mediation company for advise. Now I need to fire the first company (this job is over their heads and they should have said so.) This second company can take me through to the finish of the restoration project and say that they have worked with my insurance company.

baby steps...must avoid hiding my head under a rock and work through issues....*pouts*

[Mr. Bloom]

:o:oBoy, I'm looking forward to going home tomorrow:o:o

I still love you Silver...no matter how destructive you are;)

Might be a good time to come to Bloomington after all...

[silver]

update: first company out of here, second company in taking on everything.

Reripped Some Cd's on to SS's computer, mixed a smashing new spin mix for the Y (needs to be a bit more conservative than the other gym) wrote out my times and class and tried to burn it......but alas, the new computer can't find it's CD burner. :mad::mad::mad: Just shoot me now. :(

[Mr. SR500]

Silver, you need a Mac! I switched after 20 years of PC's, DOS, Windows... Mac's are better!

[silver]

I need somfin! that's for sure!!!!!

anyway, I worked on it a bit more and got it wo make windows media the default player and I think......possibly.....I may have burned a disk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh please! Those Y folks are so tired of my old stuff.

*deep cleansing breath*

[Mr. Bloom]

Silver, you need a Mac! I switched after 20 years of PC's, DOS, Windows... Mac's are better!

Didn't you see the first post where she said that she was in a house with 5 computers! The last thing she needs is a sixth one (in addition to the two I maintain at home #2!):D

:DTake that Mac vs. IBM propaganda elsewhere please:D

I'm home! Drying holes cut everywhere; stains abound! Noisy Fans! This ceiling is 50 continuous feet in length...will be interesting to see how the insurance company tries to settle up on cost:( 'cause, I'm not going to be satisfied with a patch job;)

[IFjane]

Silver & Mr. Silver.....{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}

I have no idea what you are going through - I have had bad days that I thought I could not get through - and I have done stupid stuff that resulted in damage - but not to this extent. I feel for you and wish I could make you feel better! Please keep us posted & know I am thinking about you both and hoping that everything works out for the very best.

[Mr. SR500]

Flood? I missed what happened - sorry and hope everything gets taken care of.

As for computers (IBM ... that is old school), time for 1 that works :D

[Mr. Bloom]

Thanks, but no worries and hugs necessary.

Like I said, at least it's not a wreck with five broken ribs, a wrist and a collapsed lung! It's just stuff:)

This is simply one more inconvience in life;);)

[sundial]

Silver, you need a Mac! I switched after 20 years of PC's, DOS, Windows... Mac's are better!

Absolutely! I second that! Fewer steps in doing any tasks. :)

Silver, are you back on track yet?

[Zen]

...will be interesting to see how the insurance company tries to settle up on cost:( 'cause, I'm not going to be satisfied with a patch job;)

Yeah.
Good luck with that :rolleyes:

[silver]

Mr. SR500 the flood was hidden in the cryptic message in post number 4

Back on track? I don't know if I was ever on it in the first place! :confused::rolleyes:

Anyway, things seem to be under control. We are hoping for weather that is possibly good enough to enjoy a short ride outside today and tomorrow.

Teaching my spin classes is keeping me sane. I've taught 5 this week.

And, when the restoration contractor was here, I needed a philips head screwdriver to remove the access to the jacuzzi, so I got out my blue Park bicycle tool. And the contractor was a mountain biker. Ohhhhh, bike talk! I got to show off my Madone!

[Kano]

So, searching for bike computer stuff -- mine's working funky suddenly -- I found this thread.

SilverFamily, how did all this turn out? Ceiling repaired to satisfaction? Space bar every fixed? (could have been cookie crumbs.... I always start with turning keyboards upside down and giving them a good shake. Amazing what comes out sometimes!)

Two words: keyboard cover.

[silver]

Oh, thinkgs are much better. The water damage was all fixed to the tune of $5,000 plus. But all fixed, thank you!

somehow I had knocked the space bar off, i don't remember how now, but it works now, thank you again.

It's been a somewhat miserable time since then, but we keep plodding through and we have hope that things will get better.

I do have my first tri of the year coming up on April 27th. It will be my first "longer than a sprint" tri and my first Ocean (technically a Gulf) swim. Distances are 1500 meters swim, 40k bike, 10k run.

I'm not prepared at all for it, but am going ahead just to get the experience.

It's the Pensacola Beach Triathlon. I think there are a few TE'ers in the area?

Thanks for asking for the update! you gals (and guys) are the coolest!!!!!
