Too Damn Old!

I'm not talking about myself.  (Although there are times I feel like it.)

No...... I'm talking about my techno toys, my computer and my cell phone.  My laptop was a present to myself when I retired six years ago.  I'm a total Mac fan when it comes to such items, except when they decide to make them obsolete by introducing new "stuff" (for lack of a better word.)

For months, I've been resisting signing up for ICloud, even though I knew I would eventually have to do it.  Well, I finally broke down and tried to upgrade my computer by downloading "Lion."  (I could have sworn this laptop had a duel processor) but I got a message that the app could not be downloaded as I need a duel processor.  Now what?

My Iphone is a 3G and I suspect that it's outdated too.  I'm stubborn and refuse to buy new toys when the old ones are working just fine.

So, that means that my Allysart@mac.com account will be ending soon.  I plan to set up a new email for the business so keep posted.  (I'll be sure to post it here and change it on the blog......... and on all my business cards.  (That's going to be a long process.  Might be easier to order new ones.)

Pretty soon, I'll be obsolete.  But I'm not going down without a fight!

Tagged

  I'm an old dog, but I am slowly learning new tricks like this blogging stuff.   Today I got tagged by Nikki Pollard from  http://lunidesigns.blogspot.com.   I went to Nikki's site and checked out her jewelry.  Now I have something new to learn, as I loved the slide show presentation of her work.  I want to learn how to do that.

   Anyway,  tagging is an internet game and here are the rules:

1.  Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.

2.  Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.  

3.  Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog.  (Wonder how Nikki gave just the names that linked to the blog?  So much to learn!)

4.  Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

     Okay..... here goes.

1.  I use to have red hair, but now I am a blonde to cover up the gray.

2.  I'm not noted for my housekeeping.  Don't know what I am noted for, but definitely not for my housekeeping.

3.  If popcorn was the only food in the world, I would have no trouble surviving.  (Of course I could live off body fat for awhile.)

4.  I love being a grandma.

5.  Scrabble is my favorite game

6.  I began dating my husband when I was 12.  And, my mother never thought it would last.

7.  I could be a perpetual student.  I love taking classes

Now the hard part is finding 7 bloggers to tag.  I don't know of that many blogs, but I'll give it a try.  I'll add those to this post later.
