Sour Apples

I have a Mac, but right now I can't use it so I'm stuck blogging to you from my hubs computer which...... I don't like. Not quite sure if or how I can load pictures to this thing and the track pad can be tempermental sometimes. Like when all it wants to do is enlarge or reduce the screen when what I WANT it to do is move the arrow to my point of interest. Son of a...... Then I have to turn it off and hope that it resets itself. Of course the hubs doesn't have this problem. I have a theory that computers can sense your feelings and will mess with you if they think they can get a few chuckles out of it. My Mac is currently a paperweight because the charger is not working. This is the third cord that I've gone through and I can't figure out why these things stop working. There are no discernable bite marks (I have a cat that likes to chew on cords) and all I can think is that it gets overloaded because I keep it plugged in even when I'm not using it. Anyone else having this problem with Apple chargers? And it doesn't help that you can't buy a generic one from Wal-Mart and they cost $100 to replace. This is the third one this year!!!! I don't have that kind of money. I happened to have the first two from previous Apple purchases and they did the same thing even though I had them for a long time before hand. One day they just stopped working. I'm getting a warranty on the next one if I can. It's gotta be the cat doing it and maybe she's just learned how to chew the cords without leaving damage. Don't know how. Or maybe the gnomes have stepped up their game and are coming after my cords now. I know they loved having my camera and were probably miffed when I took it back. Time to knit them another set of socks to distract them from messing with my electronics, lol. Christmas time is here and that means handmade gifts for everyone. I'm starting to like that better than buying. I think those that recieve the gifts like it better too because it's a one of a kind item and I took the time to make them something which I think makes them feel special. I really love it when kids ask me to make them something. It seems more special that way for me anyways. I had a request from a young cousin and I'm aiming to make sure that I have it for her by Christmas. After my last blog I went out of town for a few weeks and had no internet access. I loved every minute of it, but can't say that I didn't miss it. There are times when you just want to look something up or watch something and you think "No internet..... darn." My grandparents still have dial-up and it refused to connect the whole time I was there, but we still had Plants vs Zombies to play and lots of land to roam around. The kids loved it and I wish that we had a place with plenty of land for them to play on daily. I think they wouldn't miss tv and video games because that seemed to be the case while we were visiting and it brought back memories of good times when I was a kid. Coming home was like stuffing myself into a cave, but it's just not possible to let them play outside whenever where we live right now. Dear Santa, I would love a tranq gun for Christmas. I'm going to use it on my neighbors during times like right now. If I wanted to listen to your music I would have it blasting in my house as well. You notice that I don't. Thwip! Tranq them and turn it off and not have to worry about it for a few hours. Fighting in the hall? Thwip! Tranq dart to the rescue, no need for the police to solve a domestic disturbance. Yes, Santa, I want a tranq gun. I will be sure to get my darts back and no one need ever know that they've been tranqed. They can blame it on aliens. A non violent solution to all of life's little problems. I love it. I want it.
