Technology Can Be Frustrating

After having Comcast two times, they will have to come back another time to adjust the DVD that no longer works . They put in some new connections for my TV, but they did not check the DVD. Technology can be most frustrating.


Still waiting for Thursday to get help with aol. I am unable to get my address list on internet explorer. One day at a time.

Fancy Nancy Gets Frustrated When Technology Does Not Work.

A Good Hearing Seminar

Had a fun seminar today on Hearing Loss. I gave them all a copy of my book and said if they wished they could make a donation to the hearing association. There were 0 donations, but they all kept the book.

Also, saw my doctor who adjusted my meds for blood pressure. Hope it works. I have been working on getting out information on a new news group that I have formed. Also, will have a party for one of my students who turned 90. Today, I even met three men who were 90. People are living longer. Years ago , most men did not make it to 90. Times are changing.

Fancy Nancy Says: Make the most of every day. Still waiting to get back my aol connection.

Lost my Connection to AOL

In trying to download a new aol program I lost the whole connection. Luckily a student of mine who is good with computers just returned to Naples and I will book him to help me out. These computers can really go whacky at times and they can be most frustrating.

Technology is great when it works and a real pain when it does not work. We just added on to our TV's since we had no choice with our service. Today the man to fix our TV's arrived again and he fixed the TV. Next thing i saw he was playing ping pong with Marty. So much for company efficiency.

Working on blood pressure issues and on Monday I will get advice from the doctor. One day at a time.


Fancy Nancy Says: Watch your blood pressure. It can creep up unexpectedly.

Thanksgiving Day is Near

This week is Thanksgiving. We have no definite plans, so we will probably just go out to eat. I have been using my new health club and I bought new expensive goggles for the pool. This should help with the chlorine.

This week I start my volunteer job with the Chamber of Commerce. They do some interesting things for the volunteers. I have already been invited to a boat trip and a luncheon. This is our pay. Sounds like fun.

Fancy Nancy Says: Don't give us on your health plan even during the holidays. Stay fit!

Trying LA Fitness

I just joined LA Fitness to see if it works for me. They have many machines, an indoor pool, and racquetball courts. I have been playing some racquetball against myself. I have to be careful about injuries since I wear a hearing device. The best part is I don't have to keep score and I always win.

I used the pool, but the chlorine was too much so I just bought some eye googles to protect my eyes. Hope they do the job.

Tomorrow I am scheduled for a free training demo. Time will tell if the memebership works out.

Fancy Nancy Says: It is fun to try new things. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

New Contacts from Readers

I was amazed today to see on the map the number of new readers from other parts of the world. I often wonder how do they find the blog? If you are from outside the US let me know the answer. I would love to learn how you connect.

Today I helped a student with her writing . I am also working on my new book. I loaned her a copy of my first book and did not realize that I needed the copy. I contacted her and she will mail it back when she has read it.

Sometimes we make mistakes , but the trick is to try and correct them and recognize that we all learn from our errors. We are lucky when we can make corrections . I guess what happens to us many times, we are in a rush to accomplish many things and our focus diminishes.

Fancy Nancy Says: It is easier to concentrate on one thing at a time. Many of us multi-task, but that is when some mistakes can occur. Slow down and focus.

A Good Time to Start Somthing New

We just returned to our winter home and the move went quite smoothly. Well, I even have some free time before I have to teach again, so I thought perhaps I will find something new and fun to do.

Well, the ads in the paper were not much help. The only ad I saw was for a Salvation Army bell ringer, and with two Masters Degrees, I guess I would qualify. Wrong, they want 40 hours a week, and I can't work 8 hours a day ringing a bell.

Perhaps the library could use some help. They said I could put books on a shelf, but I had to fill out an online application to apply and then wait for them to review it. Forget that idea.

Maybe the Y would like me to teach some courses? Left my name and so far no reply.

I tried my religious organization, the Federation, but they did not need help.

Well, I have always enjoyed volunteering at the Chamber. I contacted them and I am waiting for them to reply.

I am beginning to feel like one of the group camping out in a New York Park.

Well today I was so happy. The Chamber called and they want to interview me. Great!

Yes, I was looking for something new and perhaps it includes what I have learned. Finding a job is a full time job, even for volunteers.

PS I met with them today and yes, I got the volunteer job. I start in a week .
