I expect to hear loud cheers and enthusiastic applause.
*ahem*
After a mere one hour with an extremely tiny booklet (2 x 3.5 inches) and two you tube videos, I managed to set the day, date, and time (both digital and analog) on William's birthday watch! Furthermore, I set his alarm.
*takes bow*
Well done! (The sound of clapping)
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you very much....
DeleteOh could you come and do mine please. That is wonderful and a round of applause to you.
ReplyDeleteA Holter Monitor AND a watch, and all in one day too! You better get that watch to me quickly before the magic runs out!
DeleteHats off to you Debby.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I'm ridiculously pleased with myself.
DeleteCongratulations (says the Jeanie who cannot get her laptop to sign in to comment yet IS signed in to blog) (not that she has of late)
ReplyDeleteI was dead certain that Jeanie could do ANYTHING!
DeleteI won't laugh. It gets harder and harder for me to do those sorts of things anymore. My watch automatically sets it's own time but I have to adjust it twice a year for Daylight Savings Time and it requires a special sequences of pushing buttons that I can never seem to remember.
ReplyDeleteThe wonderful thing about this watch. I flicked a switch for daylight savings time, and it will take care of the time change all by its little lonesome. With a 10 year battery, by the time it needs anything done, William will be 22 and can do it himself!
Deletethree cheers!!
ReplyDeleteHip, hip, hooray!!!!
Delete👏
ReplyDeleteIt is the little things...
DeleteBrava!!! 👏🎉
ReplyDeleteTake another bow.
DeleteWell done! Bookmark those videos because you will forget and summertime is coming.
ReplyDeleteI set it to adjust for DST with no imput from me. And a secret about the videos. I watched two of them. Both men had very thick accents and talked rapidly. I tried to make sense of them. In the end, I had to refer to the teeny tiny manual with the teeny tiny writing, and I was getting a teeny, tiny pessimistic about the whole thing.
DeleteWhistle, whistle!! Clap, clap, clap. And a bow you can't see!
ReplyDeleteA small step for most people, a giant step for Debbys!
DeleteYou earned that bow. Way to go, Debby. I never thought the day would come but technology is starting to get a little difficult for me. Thank the fat bassets I have a teenager at home to help me.
ReplyDeleteWilliam is not quite a teenager, but this comment makes me hopeful.
DeleteBravo. Everything is too tiny and I’m learning my fingertips can’t sense the watch stem, either.
ReplyDeleteUgh. A watch stem is technology I could manage. This marvel of technology has four buttons, two on each side. It is a stop watch. a timer, an alarm. a calendar, it has the time in both digital and analog. He can quickly check the time in London before he skypes his auntie and uncle. It does about everything but feed the cat!
DeleteSorry, that was Bonnie in Minneapolis
ReplyDeleteYour certificate of technological accomplishment should be in the mail.
ReplyDeleteOh goody. I'll get a frame.
DeleteHooray for you!
ReplyDeleteYesseree, Bob. I done good!
DeleteA breakthrough for mankind! Could you please come over and show me how to set the clock on my microwave?
ReplyDelete...and womankind too! About the latter, er...do you still have the instruction book that came with it?
DeleteHooray, hooray..and clapping ! Can you come twice a year and do the clock in my car please? Previous car used to be so easy.....just a couple of clicks and it was done.......(GMT or summertime)
ReplyDeleteIf you have the instruction manual, I can figure it out. We have 4 vehicles, and it is a pain in the butt, because they are all different. Every last one of them.
DeleteCan I borrow you next time my husband's ridiculously difficult to set watch needs adjusting?
ReplyDeleteOnly if you have the ridiculously tiny manual that came with it...
Delete. . . and I dare say, a magnifying glass to read said tiny booklet! Well done. I am not technically minded either, though I'd have a good try at knapping a flint . . .
ReplyDeleteLOL. I am quite nearly at the same skill level!
DeleteWoo hoo!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou said it!
DeleteSo proud of you. You have more patience than a lot of people. (me included) I do have an excuse kind of, I am now 78.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of me too!!!
DeleteWell done! Technology can be so confusing! We call it "my Dad's VCR" as that was the device that he couldn't figure out!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for not giving up!
Oh, my gosh. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to sync the DVD player to the television. (I had no manual.)
DeleteSometimes it is easier without the instructions I find!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sign that you are far more technologically advanced that I am, friend.
DeleteCongratulations on your technical achievement! 🏆
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOhhhhh...is that a major award? Gosh. I hope it is not fra-gee-lee.
DeleteWhen in doubt, always check YouTube for a video! :)
ReplyDeleteThe videos were hard because both presenters whizzed right along, but I had big problems with their accents, I gave up and went to the teeny tiny manual, with the teeny tiny writing.
DeleteCongratulations and loud cheers!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, gz! Really, I was starting to feel a little hopeless.
