I sometimes hate technology. I get tired of everyone telling just how easy it is to do something on the computer. I listen to them every time, and every time I do I am ready to throw my keyboard out the window. I got frustrated with this blog and almost gave up. I heard how easy it was so I decided to try. I ended up setting up two different programs and invited everyone to the wrong one. I finally figured it out and re-invited people to visit my blog. What can I say; I am deficit. There is nothing that will light my fuse faster than having problems with a computer. I guess that is why I have avoided doing a blog for so long. I do have to congratulate myself for getting this far.
So does anyone else ever wish we could go back to the more simple times? Dave always jokingly says he was born a century too late. Sometimes I think about the pioneer times and think of how much more simple it was. I know it was dang hard,but it was also simplistic. Everyone worked off their own land and there was no problem with a mother staying home and raising her children. It just seemed to be a little more family friendly. Now things are so complicated. I sometimes wish I could go back to those times but then I get in the shower and am glad that I have running water, electricity, etc. I guess no matter what era it is there is some kind of complication. That is probably what keeps life interesting. I know that my husband finds great humor in finding me try and work on the computer.
There are definitely good things about technology; I just have a hard time adjusting to new things. I will be the kind of parent that my kids make fun of, because I am behind with the times. Now that I am cooled off with trying to figure out this thing I feel much better.

You're not alone, Annie. We lost a VCR when I got so mad at the computer that I picked up the VCR remote sitting next to me and threw it against the wall. We never did get that VCR working again after that-oops! :)
It's very much a love-hate relationship I have with technology, that's for sure.
Welcome to the blogging world! It'll be fun to keep up with you guys this way.
Yes, welcome.....and it's about time ;-)
I'm glad you clarified your oops, because I was confused with the multiple invites. Now I know what you were intending to create.
I couldn't live a hundred years ago; I wouldn't survive. I need modern conveniences, at least the basics. And I'm with mammamia: total love hate relationship with technology.
Give it time; you'll learn more and more about blogging. The fact that you went private the first time around says you know something. I didn't figure that out 'til later. And besides....you're one step ahead of mom with the technology.
btw--love the pics. I have a Napolean Dynomite calendar and that happens to be the picture for December. Awesome.
I love it. I am glad I am not the only one with a fire raging inside me. I have actually hit the key board before; not that it would have done any good.
Yes it is a love hate realtionship.
Now that we live a little farther away from family and friends, I like technology more than I used to. It's my only link to everyone. I've had to figure some things out on my own lately. I used to be able to take a back-seat to the computer because I have a brother who is a genius, but now he can't just come over and fix everything. It's kind of liberating though, don't you think? when I learn something new, it makes me feel good about myself.
