aarrrgghh%$#@

I feel like Maxine ......

I'm trying to be a Mac girl now... but, so far haven't quite got it all figured. We, (that would be Mr. BV and me we)... have been trying to transfer info, files and photos onto the new computer. And...then, in the midst of it all I wanted to find some photos for yesterday. It didn't happen.

Today I was trying to download two pics of this little man.. my Century Sam doll (made for the Centennial year in the little town where I grew up) from when I was a kid in school... and there were two pics side by side...but, once I got the one downloaded... I returned for the second and poof... I seemed to be in another section of photos...and there are ... oh, I am embarrassed to say the number.... uhm.... there are s...s....si....six.... thousand (gulp) to choose from.... and so far I haven't figured out how to organize them into the correct areas.

Then, there is the matter of the new puny keyboard...so tiny you could stick it in a pocket... with the delete key that so far only works going backwards. I'm used to using the left arrow... then deleting letters that I choose.... but, I can't make it happen with this board....who needs to be highlighting to delete? .. there must be a better way...or maybe I just have to get used to it.

Brother........ it'll take some time to teach the old bitch new tricks. Somebody is talking about "Mac" school on Saturday at the store where we bought it. Grooooaan.... I hate school...

hahhaha.... found it..... it was a lot of scrolling...with an imaginary scroll wheel if you can believe it. Yep...the mouse has no scroll wheel. You just stroke it like there is one..... what next? Oh, well... there is also no right click or left click anything... just another pretend thing you do on the left or right side of the fancy dancy mouse with no buttons or scroll wheels... good grief! Every time I type an incorrect letter...I have to remember not to click the back arrow... because then, the second I hit delete after backspacing...I delete the letters behind where I stopped with the arrow..not in front as it used to be on my old Microsoft keyboard.... ooooooooo .... help!

okay.... I better tell you why I am posting the pics.

They were made by me... the one all backstitched by hand; we didn't have a sewing machine.... the other blanket stitched around the outside.... with some help from Mom to figure things out. I think it is funny that even all those years ago I made two dolls. Then, never even did anything like it til the past few years.

ps.... the pics must be different sizes too...because I had to go back in and move the print down well below each pic so it didn't run alongside the photo...... it's all a BIG learning curve...... more like a spirAL..whoops... found the caps lock button......LL.... HAHAHAHHAHA...
