There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream – whatever that dream might be.   Pearl S. Buck

     Never believe anyone that tells you can’t for if you do you’ve let them take a dream away.  As a girl I had many dreams that an older relative took great joy in smashing.

     Much older now, I realize how naive I was to allow that to happen.  When I grow up, I will be a writer.

     So now my printer and computer aren’t talking to each other.  ARRRGH!!!  I have the printer wired to the desk top computer and still won’t talk to it.  At this rate, I need an in-house computer geek.

     The printer is fairly new.  It worked fine before the computer needed work done.

     It has me wondering if it will talk to my lap top.  I’ll try that tomorrow.  I don’t feel like running up and down stairs now.  Yes, I’m lazy and it’s two freaking a.m.

     I wonder, if I can’t get the computer and printer working together, do I have to haul both over to my computer guru to see if he can get them working together?

     Shoot me now.  I hate driving over there.

      Well, I tried to open a Paypal account again.  I have one now but they don’t like my bank or something.  I’ve jumped through their hoops a few too many times and I refuse to leap another one.   Let’s just say I have a ‘minimal’ account with them and leave it at that.

     Automated teller machines hate me too.

     I do believe it is my bank’s fault.  They’ve never once in 37 years had the correct numbers on our checks.  We always have had a problem when someplace wants a routing number or other such thing.

     Once a year, at the very least, I have to call them and ask for the proper numbers. 

     How about you?  Did you jump through all their hoops?  Or, perhaps you are smarter than I am and you don’t deal with them.

     Did you ever have one of those months where the money in the checking account seems to have disappeared into a black hole? 

     Yeah, that’s us this month.  The vet bills–many more than usual, the repair of the old desk top, The Curmudgeon’s new glasses–both pair,  bills, groceries…oops!  The balance got low faster than usual.  We’re going to have to budget carefully for the rest of the month.

     Makes me real glad I put the lap top purchase on the charge card.  I figure I can clear that charge in two or three payments.

     I’ll need to stay out of Amazon and keep The Curmudgeon away from all those catalogs.

     At least he’ll get his birthday present next week–they finally shipped his new cane.
