OT - Great attitude!

Royse · Apr 24, 2014

One of my long time computer customers stopped by to pick up
his laptop this evening and I asked him how he was doing.
He had several complaints, from health to television programming.
Then said "but I'm still here to complain about it all, so it's a good day."
He's a retired dairy and cash crop/row crop farmer.
Maybe the attitude is required. Maybe it's acquired.
Either way, it made me chuckle.

That's one of the things that I didn't like when we lived in a retirement community. Complaining was a way of life for a majority of people; guess they didn't have much of anything else to do.

We moved out of there to a community of all ages.

A few years ago, I ran into a friend that wintered in Florida and had just returned. I asked how he was doing. His reply- "I am not breathing dirt and I can see the sun come up each day. I am doing pretty good I guess." Then he proceeded to tell me had health problems when in Florida and doctors found advanced prostate cancer and gave him only maybe 2 months to live. After that, I guess I don't have any problems after all.

I agree with Dick2, we visited a Sister and BIL at a resort in Florida, just for Senior citizens. I told them that I couldn't live there because there wasn't any kids around.

When asked how he was doing, my dad would sometimes say, "I'm fine. I've got a strong constitution and low expectations. I'm always fine."

Royse, Just what I need, a computer guy. When I opened my lap top a few minutes ago there was a little screw on the keyboard. It came out of the lower left screen corner. I put it back in loosely but it has no slot or any means to apply a screw driver. It looks like there may be some thread locker on it. How do I tighten it?

That screw looking thing is probably just a plug to make the actual screw hole less noticeable. It was probably glued it with some light weight adhesive (you may need to remove it some time for a repair).

If there's no place for any kind of screwdriver then you really don't want it too tight.
Sometimes they're filled with rubber, some take special tools, etc.
As a stop gap you can use the eraser on the end of a pencil like a screwdriver.
It should hold enough tension to snug it up.
Needless to say they are easy to cross thread.
