My Three Mystery Nicknames Revealed

in life •  7 years ago 

Wow. Sorry to hear about the computer. @themanwithnoname, @osmosis, @simplymike, @gillianpearce and someone else whose name escapes me have all had or continue to have some kind of computer problems within the last couple of months. Connection: you're all on Steemit. Maybe I should back away slowly before something happens to mine.

That's not fun when files disappear.

The puppy didn't start playing on it, did he?

What did Brian do to get it working again?

No nicknames. Well, I think I had enough for about five people, so maybe you didn't get any because I got more than my fair share. I doesn't help when your last name is hard to pronounce and spell, while your first name is one syllable and super easy to say.

For the record, I think it was my Dad who would call me What's-his-face when he couldn't get my name out fast enough. It was kind of funny, though, since my Mom would just go through the three kids' name until she came up with the right one. Never started the list out the same way. :)

Yes, back away very slowly. I don't know what Brian did; I chose to go for a walk because he is far from enjoyable when he's working on something like that, and in a lot of discomfort today. It was best for me to return when the problem was fixed and I could dole out all of my gushy appreciation to him then ;)

haha nope, the puppy was with me!

I think all of our moms just yelled out lists of names until they got to the right kid. So funny! It is a mom thing for sure...I know because I did it too, and included the dog's name when things were really crazy!

So sorry to hear that your computer had issues. I thought that you had been on a little less than normal. I know the feeling and it's not fun at all. I'm glad it's working again, but sorry that you lost files. :(

I was so frustrated yesterday with it all, but today I'm reading in the news of a bus full of kids from a hockey team and coaches etc in a horrific accident with a transport truck. It immediately put my little problem in perspective :(

Well, your computer issues are a disruption in your life, so they're not without consequence, and I'm still sorry it happened. That's terrible to hear about the wreck. Absolutely heartbreaking. Are any of them ok?

Thank you for your sympathy!

Terrible accident for sure; half of the group were killed, a couple kids paralyzed...it's unimaginable really. All from a little town of about 5000 people. I cannot even imagine the horror those people are living right now. Throw in a few extra prayers for them tonight please :)
