Another Milestone

Last year when everyone was making New Year's resolutions I told one of the doctors I work with that once my wallet stopped bleeding from my daughter's wedding(that is ALF's wedding) I was going to treat myself to two things: Lasix eye surgery and an ipod!!! He did point out that one only costs a couple of hundred dollars and the other thousands but I assured him I was worth it! Of course I took the less challenging one to do first, Lasix eye surgery and in that it has it's draw backs it was worth every penny and I would do it again in a flash!
Now the second item! I had talked to everyone who has an ipod and they told me their 5 year old could get it to work and on several occasions I actually had one in my cart at Costco but not until last Friday I was unable to bring myself to buy one! I had ipod "fear"!!! I also purchased a car adapter so when I travel I can use it in the rental cars! I purchased a 8GB nano because all I want to do with it is to download my CD's on to it so when I travel I can use it! Sounds simple! Well you can ask ALF because she accidentally called during the process and was privy to my ranting and raving about how I was going to throw this piece of sh..!! out the back door! I did put it down for awhile and then returned to finally get itunes to rip and sync my CD's! Get the lingo!

I then had to get the adapter in the car to work which wasn't straight forward either but after making several truck drivers blush as they passed it worked on the way to work yesterday but on the way home all I got was static!! I kept the windows up because it was going out any minute!
You know you are old when a 5 year old can do it easily and it takes you over 2 hours to get the "thing" to work

It took me some time to figure it out also. Of course when I bought one for my mom, she got it right away.

What does that say about me?

ALF told Andrew and I about the troubles you were having. Andrew told ALF he would help you if you needed it and he also says that if you are having issues type it into Google. Its amazing the answers you can find.
