It's Five O'Clock Somewhere or maybe Noon Perpetually....

A blog I read has a Ipad contest. HERE You had to make her laugh.

I'm sorry BUT I find it hard to find humor in a device that leaves me weak in the knees and with a throbbing headache at even the 'thought' of owning something with an android OS or smart phone, whatever either of those ARE ?? .........

Because I have a DVD player........
It' s a NEW DVD player/recorder because the old one quit after a jazillion years which brings me to the problem.....

It needs to be SET UP.  I read the instruction manual which makes NO sense other than to press MENU and then Quick Set Up which did..........nothing.  Absolutely NOTHING............



What in the SAM HILL would I do with an IPAD when I cannot even set up my DVD Player????  Who writes these instruction manuals anyway???? Do they even HAVE the DVD Player in the Room with them?  Or do they just write goobley-gook and take that fat paycheck home.  I vote for Option No. 2 myself.


There's a Whole Bloomin' Boomer Generation of us out here whose DVD Player, Microwave, Coffee Pot, and probably the Cell Phone, Answering Machine and Goodness knows what ELSE is permanently FLASHING
12:00

Do me a favor will ya?  Don't let me win that IPAD.  It will finally and irretrieveably drive me to the Nut House.
