Scattered Thoughts for August

I love the story of the flight attendant that blew his stack at the passenger who thought the rules didn’t apply to him/her. When I was very young, I got furious at my boss. I went to the locker room, got my coat, and went home – at 2 in the afternoon. Next day I came to work wondering if I still had a job. My boss did the most hurtful thing he could have done to me. He never said a word about my disappearing act that I thought of as a big grandstand play, It made me mad at him all over again.

[Can anyone tell me why my computer will not print an apostrophe? I get a [ instead. Also, I cannot put quotation marks in front of the letter O. When I try, I get Ö. It sort of reminds me of the Geico TV commercial. The two little eyes peeking over the O. ]

Sally has recovered from the nasty cat bite she got a couple of weeks ago. She now needs to recover from two trips to the ER, Two potent antibiotics, one hefty shot of one antibiotic, and multiple OTC pills of antihistamine.

I wish I could solve your computer problem, but I have problems of my own and don't have a clue how to change them.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the original problem (cat bite!)

To me it sounds like a keyboard driver problem, as in you have the wrong language driver loaded for your country. This sometimes happens even when you've had the right one for years. Are you on a Windows PC ? Let me know and if you are I can give you a bit of guidance.

Keith- I suspect you are right, but I haven't figured out to correct it. No Windows. I am a Mac person. Know anything about Mac?

Yup, my sympathies are totally with the flight attendant!

Sorry, not a mac person :-(. What did the Google God say?

He said, "Go to the Mac God!"
