Computers are not for everyone (or are they?)

It's a tiring, no-energy day for me as I struggle to get my chores and errands done. It seems as if there are always doctor, dentist, hair appointments to make or upcoming for this or that person. It's also flu shot time of year. K has his orthodontist checkup today. One of his friends finally had his braces removed, now he has a retainer to keep clean. There are a bunch of them that meet in the washroom after lunch to brush their braced teeth. Some of them don't bother.

The good news is that K's school photo came back and no re-takes are required. They did 3 poses for each child and you can now pay online although you still have to submit an order form. K said some of his friends did 'model' poses so that all 3 shots were different (and quite amusing). He's opted not to have his photos re-touched as they're actually quite good.

We went out to dinner with some old friends this past Saturday. I had sent them an interesting youtube video and was surprised when they said it didn't work. I asked them if they pressed 'play'. They said 'oh'. My girlfriend is only 50 years old but admits she's not comfortable with the computer or email for that matter. Oh well, everyone's different.

Now, one of my brother-in-laws (in his mid-fifties) has recently embraced the internet. My sister decided to get her own laptop the other day, as her son didn't like sharing his. Then my brother-in-law got a hold of her new laptop and can't seem to stop googling and downloading stuff to CD, etc! I think it's the first time anyone has seen him ever use a computer, so it's quite unbelievable. So now my sister still doesn't have a laptop available!
