Re: [MLUG] guess what

[Tresalizbeth <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Thank you very much.  Made my day for days to come.
I guess I never knew I was a "geek" before, just knew how to do things.  
My dad built lots of "geeky" things and I grew up reading popular 
mechanics and did a paper on the internal combustion engine in 6th 
grade.  Didn't do barbies much.
I never thought about the post 40 stuff except all the websites have 
these pics of young kids on them.  When I was their age I was too busy 
with diapers and being miss earth mother to study.  If I had it to do 
again would do it the same because my kids and step kids all grew up 
wonderfully.  I took my EMT classes a couple years ago and most there 
were in their early 20s, same deal but we had a blast.  
My dad had alzheimers and I am maybe more concious of keeping my mind 
active since that is supposed to slow the progress although he read a 
book a day until about a year before he got really bad.  Wine is 
supposed to help too!!
Anyway THANKS so much for the compliment.  I really appreciate all of 
your alls help and wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if  I hadn't had the 
support and knowledge of this group to fall back on.
I loved it when I read on a website last night how the men usually 
handled the computers in the family??!!  I did have my husband put a new 
hard drive in laptop once because my hands weren't strong enough to get 
screws out.    He carries them on occasion too.  We have discussions on 
how to get network connected but he's not really interested as long as I 
keep it all running, and he is like this mechanical genius, can wire a 
vehicle or a building or repair any engine or appliance in a heartbeat 
but the tech stuff is my department.
:-D
THANKS,
Teresa
