Seriously.

New cell phone, can't "program" it. New Bluetooth... hold button down till blinks, say "STEVE!"... it dials work.

I am going buggy shopping tomorrow, screw this.

 

[IzzyLucyWillie]

buggy shopping? As in baby buggy? Anything you want to share T?

 

[blacklabparent]

Nope, this uterus is closed for business. I have my 2 beautiful wee girls, and in order to keep them in the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed, 2 will be our limit. =)

Buggy, horse & buggy. Like the rest of the Amish have.

Don't go Amish - just join the rest of us "Luddites" who reached their abiility to learn new stuff about 3 TV remotes ago!

Steve's "Man-Land" in the family room has too many "Star Trek" remotes.
We have a stupid "Universal" remote, plus...
a remote for the tv
a remote for the dish
a remote for the digital HD cable thing-y
a remote for the surrond stereo jobb-y

I just hit the POWER button on the tv & hope something good is on that channel.


The tv in the bedroom is my speed, 1 remote for the digital cabble/tv combo. Small & easy.

LOL. That sounds like our house.
1 for the tv
1 for the cable
1 for the DVD
1 for the surround sound

You should see the universal remote he has but hasn't programmed. I think it has at least 40 buttons. All I want is to turn the **** tv on without being confused.

Good luck trying to figure out how to watch a movie. SU has to be home for us to use the DVD on the big tv.

 

[mollyrock]

if I didn't have SU to do the tech stuff, I would seriously have
no tv
no cable
no internet
no cellphone
no landline
I probably would be pretty happy with a low tech life....wait, no, except the internet.
a buggy and internet and I would be happy

 

[blacklabparent]

Me too, Molly. Although I do love watching downloaded movies from the computer through the BluRay on the PS3 on the big screen tv. It's a shame I need Steve to navigate the menus so I can watch one.

OMG - that sounds just like me - it's hard to imagine that just 15 years ago I was an independent, single girl doing just fine on my own - it's amazing how much technology has progressed since then. Now I can't even play a DVD

 

[Garth]

I think the correct term for all the above is technologically illiterate.

 

[blacklabparent]

That's me, Technologically Impaired. Do I get a special parking space?

 

[BigBrownDog]

Those driving buggies do get special parking.

You do realize that going Amish means no zippers for you?

Hmmmm, no jeans? That's bad. I do look good in black though =)

 

[patm]

In fact - no buttons ,snaps or hooks - if you're a woman, you have to close your dresses with straight pins!

Well that truly sucketh.

Can you be half Amish? Like, go with the buggy & no electronic gadgets, but keep the buttons & zippers?

I share your pain. That is what brothers are for IMHO or with the last phone none of us could figure out. I called the tech guys in I.T. at work that I dealt with when I was on our computer conversion test team. In exchange for sending the cell phone over with a batch of home baked cookies on the morning run with the courier it was delivered the 4 miles back to my office completely program and step by step instruction on operation with it shortly after lunch.

 

[Jinx]

Shiteth. =(

i'm calling dibs on your roots purse if you convert.

 

[Labs4life]

go low tech you'll like it better.

Compared to the rest of the country I'm fairly low tech. I still enjoy the internet but could live a very happy life without cell phones, TV, Black berries,air cards and ABS brakes.
