To Dream The Impossible Dream..Favorites...A Computer That always Works

This WOULD be my favorite if it existed

But right now my computer seems quite twisted

Sometimes it turns on twice

And that is certainly not very nice...

It's trying to drive me crazy

But maybe it's just being lazy?

Still I'm counting my blessings

That there aren't even more "messings."

Yup, the last line was pretty lame but the verses are too true. Even while trying to do this post, the keyboard suddenly decided to freeze (and it's in the 80s today).

I know that it needs more memory (but so do I), so we've ordered some, but meanwhile the computer and I pretty much look like this...


This is one of those 'fly by night' repair men, but looks like he has the right idea after a few frustrating sessions...

Wish I had this to fix the computer woes...maybe my keyboard would work ALL the time...

Would like to give it a lobotomy, but I would be practicing without a license (or enough knowledge for sure)....

When I typed in references to a perfect computer, this is one picture that came up...does ANYONE see any connection here?....

Sometimes, Maxine just says it all...

This is NOT an office computer so it only has itself to blame...hmmm, well, we do have Michael's computer in the same room....

This is the letter C and it stand for CRAZY where my computer is driving me!.....

Wish this police officer would give my computer a ticket, not this little law breaker!....

Now, for an appropriate "joke" for today, BUT is it REALLY a joke???

Subject: A Spanish Lesson


A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.


The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:


1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;


3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and


4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.


The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:


1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and


4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

~~~Lord, I truly do thank You for the blessing of the many times this computer has worked and I pray You help it to continue to do so.
