Right now, I am swearing a blue streak at my computer and my reader. I don't understand why it doesn't work anymore!! I don't get it, I don't get it! And I've been back to work with my new job and I love it, but I'm also takin 6 credits and I have three kids involved in 2 sports and I'm tired! And, apparently, grumpy!

So my problem is that when I check out library books and download them to ADE, and then try to put them on my reader as I always have using the ebook library, they don't show up! And if they do, they're messed up! And then when I try to open them on the reader, they are protected! This is really ticking me off. Big time. I am doing nothing different!

And, apparently, I am ranting. I did yell out a few choice words... and I have to take a shower and get to bed because 6am will come mighty early, as it always does.

grrrr

No ....

First one is a "fish sticker"
Second one is "drawers"

No idea where the dog fits in there, unless he's blue.

Lounge, Ricky. He's the definition of the word. Okay, as a verb perhaps. Still....

Two ways to go about it. One is to get a USB DVD/CD drive. I have one of those. The other way is to get an external drive holder for laptop drives and set the disk up in that before installing it. I have one of those as well, but prefer to do it the first way. The USB drives are not very expensive (I got one by LG and it works very well).

I also got one of those Seagate Free Agent Go drives to back up my various laptops before I upgrade them. I think a 500GB go drive only costs about $135. They work brilliantly, very plug and play, and make data transfer to the new drive easy.

Of course, if anything does go wrong, I just stick the old drive back in the machine while I sort out the problem. I generally keep the old drives stored in a safe place so I've got them if I need them.

Should be a giggle as I've never done this before lol

Recovering from yet another encounter with a Texas truck driver (big rig) making yet another illegal u-turn in the middle of the highway.

Do any of these people know how to drive .... safely??

I dunno .... where was the fish in your picture??

It's just the Blue Dog. Although, there might be a picture of the Blue Dog next to a fish. Who's to say??
