re: taking things apart, I've always figured if the darned thing is broken anyway it can't hurt to give it a try...😜

Book, hope the charger fixes the issue. Recently my MacBook wouldn't turn on, wouldn't charge. Years ago, I used to work on electronics, so I had a feeling it may be a small thing, where something in the power source had become undone, a fuse, something that wasn't too complicated because if a device just suddenly goes dark, it can be as simple as loose connection in the power source.

I took the MacBook apart and using video on YouTube, saw where my battery went to the rest of the laptop. I was able to reconnect some things and voila, it started working again.

Even if you aren't comfortable taking apart to see what you can see, it may not be a big issue, a minor fix, if you know someone in electronics who would take a look at it for you.

But also - I hope the charger is the fix. ;-)

I ordered my iPad's charger from Best Buy. Can't believe they sent it by ship. It had left Richmond, CA on 19Jan. When I saw Richmond, I just knew that it was going by ship! No, no... So, I haven't been using my iPad since then. I realized how much I miss it, though. Tonight, I decided to check the Tracking number.

Ohhh.... Strange... We're one day ahead of the mainland US. We're the same time zone as Sydney, Australia. It's Friday, Feb 23rd at 9:30pm. The tracking system says that it was received by the post office on Saturday, Feb 24th at 2:01am... Hmmmm .. That's 4-1/2 hrs from now... Yay! My charger is finally in... Let's hope it works. If it still doesn't work.. that means I need a new iPad. (ugh!!!)

So I finally gave up on my favorite, old fashioned, wind up alarm clock, because it wouldn't keep ticking anymore.... I put up with it losing time, but it keeps stopping now, so threw it in the trash. Just now, accidentally kicked the trash can and the clock started ticking..... it can just sit in there and tick; I'm not rescuing it!

Spirit, if you mean the kind that you start seeds in, I got a nice one at Wally world 2 years ago for about 10$.. holds a ton of seed disks and is reusable.

Many a mickle mak's a muckle, Veronica. You could go round the car park gathering up the waif and stray carts and win both whole dollars and a reputation for eccentricity :)

I have just received the following email message from my water company:

"Mae hi bron a bod yn bryd i ni bostio'ch bil blynyddol.

Ond cyn i ni wneud hynny, roedden ni am roi cyfle i chi newid i filio ar lein. Ar ôl cofrestru, byddwch chi'n gallu gweld eich bil ar lein yn hytrach na'i dderbyn trwy'r post. Gyda Fy Mil, cewch weld eich balans cyfredol a'r taliadau rydych chi wedi eu gwneud ar lean."

I hope they don't want me to do anything about it.

The regular size candy bars are now $1.49. I rather wait until I get to the office. Our building's vending machine issues candy for $0.75! Same size, same brand, too. The same with the bottled Dasani. I can get it much cheaper at the vending machine for $1.00. Except the machine has a habit of taking your dollar and you find out that there's no more water. And the light is still showing that there's water available. Hate having to end up drinking Sprite or Coca Cola.

Something about nothing but little things please little minds. Went shopping at Aldi and thoroughly aprove of their policy of locking their carts up till you push in a quarter. This time there was one abandomed in the parking lot keeping it's quarter. I almost went and got it to retrieve the quater but decided it was not worth the effort, I am not that desperate and what can you buy for a quarter anyway?
Then I thought that if I added 3 more quarters I would have $1. Surely you can't buy much if anything for $1 these days.
So I went looking in the grocery store. a loaf of generic white bread, an apple or orange, 2 pounds of bananas, hot dogs, a head of lettuce,a couple of medium tomatoes, cans of fruit or veg, a frozen chicken pot pie, a pound of frozen veg a greek yogurt, and occasionally a whole pineapple. Have to add a dozen eggs.
Now I need to rest my few remaining brain cells

Book, Monday was a Federal holiday here - President's Day - so no mail, no banks, no govt. offices. However, I was surprised when I was doing some research into some missing commission payments for a travel agent client of mine that even the accounting departments in major hotels and resorts were closed! Spent 2 hours making calls only to have to follow up again today.

Family Day here too, but no shopping because most malls are closed, as well as beer and liquor stores, grocery stores, etc. The municipality plans "family" events, but only if you have little kids - face painting, skating, snowshoeing, sliding down the snow "mountain" built by the road crew. The Legion did open their doors for a couple of hours for darts and billiard for us older folks. I think most of us don't really know what we're supposed to do on Family Day cause we've only had it for 10 years or so, it doesn't seem natural to have a holiday in Feb.

Our holiday was last Monday. They call it Family Day here. But I've heard they are going to make ours coincide with the rest of Canada. I don't know why they don't just call it going to the mall and shopping till you drop day instead cause that's where everyone seems to gather.
