Well today, the power went out and somehow my power supply in my computer got fried. Yes, you guessed it. The hubby had an old power supply that he Frankenputered into my PC so that I am able to post to the masses. I was advised that there would be a worldwide (web) retraction of all harassment I’ve given him over the years for all the crap that he keeps laying about “just in case” we need it some day.

So, begrudingly, I must admit that I am pleased that he had the part he needed to get me up and running and that I’m happy that he has this massive collection of stuff. Yes, he’s a good hubby ::pat, pat::

This doesn’t mean I have to be happy about HOW it’s stored though, right? Right.

It seems that one cannot read or post comments right now to my posts. I’m looking into it, ie. begging Yoshi for help. And will hopefully get this resolved soon so you can communicate with me again.

Thanks for your patience! :)

EDITED TO UPDATE: After panicking…and actually CALLING Yoshi…he walked me through fixing it. You may now comment at will. Yay for Yoshi! :)

I am starting to feel a bit like the Goldilocks of the communications world. Nothing has been right so far. I’m hoping that those of you who might use a headset with your phones may have a suggestion for me. Here’s what I’ve tried to date and what was “wrong” with them:

Samsung WEP200 – the sound quality sucked and my hubby heard feedback when I was testing it out with him. Not to mention, that I was worried that it’d fall out of my ear without me noticing.

LG HBM-730 – Sound quality was really bad. :(

Motorola H500 – OMG it’s the worst of the bunch! :(

Plantronics Voyager 510 – The one that actually sounds great both in and outgoing (!!!) … my little tiny ears resist the bulky size and it’s hard to get on and keep on.

I can’t win!! Have any of you found a nice, small headset that actually works? Do tell! :)
