COMPUTER PAGE UPDATE DAY!

Hey y'all!

My Daddy owns a successful online and telephone sales business. We came up with the idea about 6 years ago. My oldest son is really good with computer stuff, and designed a computer page for Daddy, and it really took off!

But then eldest boy went off to Romania, and then got married, and then went off to serve the US in the Air Force. So, the maintenance of the computer page fell to little ole' me, since my Daddy has never touched a computer. He's real good at other things though...like selling stuff.

Once a year his supplier changes prices and adds new products, etc. This is the weekend that the changes go into effect. So, I will be wrist deep in html and brain dead (even more so than usual) by this evening. The good thing about it is I have something to occupy me on a Saturday, now that the 9 most miserable months of the year start with no college football to look at.

And I get to help my Daddy. He'll help anybody, but he's a hard guy to return the favor to. If I think of anything profound while I'm clickety-clacking, and copying and pasting, and adjusting prices, I will make myself a note and tell y'all about it later.

Y'all have a good Saturday. Kiss your wife, pet your dog, spank your kids, and if the weather's okay where you're at...go fishing.

  1. Dang, my boy is going to be very unhappy, my wife died almost five years ago, I no longer have a dog, and it's starting to rain. I guess that I shall have an awful lot of time to devote to the only other thing on my list.

    Well, I always strive for perfection, better get started.

  2. Andy!

    Man, I suddenly put 1979 and 2009 together and came up with 30. You better start thinking about your anniversary soon.

    Oh, and the answer to your computer page woes is Dreamweaver.

  3. Never be one to question Walt, since we ain't never met, but since he offered the solution of Dreamweaver but did not leave a link, I thought I would hepp him out.

    Not so sure how Dreamweaver helps at all, but I guess Walt knows.

  4. Walt and TD: Dreamweaver is what I am using, but I am so ignorant that I have forgotten a few things since last year.

    I can't get Dean on the phone to instruct me, so I am going to go shoot myself in the head now.

    Walt, trust me, I've been thinking seriously about The Big 3-0 that's coming up in April...but now that I'm going to go shoot myself in the head, she'll have to figure out how to celebrate it on her own (probably with a young stud in Jamaica, and insurance money...the suicide clause expires after two years you know).

    TD, thanks for the musical respite. I needed something to take the edge off before I threw my computer typewriter at my computer tv. If I had done that, all the pressure would be relieved, and I would not be headed outside to shoot myself in the head now.

  5. I have never done it, yet, but I have come precious close to putting my fist through my computer TV a few times. I will admit to kicking the computer box once... cracked the case which made me feel bad....for a few seconds.

  6. What musical respite? I just sent you the link to Dreamweaver, Walt suggested it.

    Man, y'all got some weird computers. My teevee, the typewriter, the remote control, and everything else are all in one suitcase and it all runs on one extension cord.

    Y'all must have one of them jobs made by farners.

  7. Okay Sparky, here's the deal! I did not destroy anything worth saving (computer box, typewriter, and tv all still intact)...and I did not destroy anything not worth saving (my useless existence).

    I walked out in the back yard, pulled the trigger on my .45 and...nothing.

    Evidently, The Mrs. had heard me cussing and spitting up here in the office. She had unloaded the pistol and hid the bullets. When I came back inside she said, "Andy, just wait until you can talk to Dean tomorrow. In two minutes, he will tell you exactly what to do to get those two new items posted on your Daddy's website. You will get it done in about 15 minutes and this will all be over with."

    She was right, as usual (my pet name for her is "Mrs. God). She doesn't know how close she came to being a rich widow.

    Then, being the wise acre that she is, she said, "I hid the bullets because somebody is going to have to update your Daddy's web-site next January. And it's not going to be me." She made me laugh!

    So, I packed it in for the day...helped my #3 son move some furniture and reroute some cable TV wires, ate two big bowls of The Mrs.' world famous potato soup, and am just about to go watch Law & Order reruns.

    Business will still be there tomorrow.

  10. Heh! Paul, it definitely makes a good case for word verification. But, I get so little spam that I don't mess with it.

    They're mostly one-offs like these. Have a good one, Pal!
