Yesterday, when I got up, my computer screen was fuzzy, like I had two identical transparencies on top of another, accept they weren't were lined up right. I turned the monitor off. Then I tried to turn it back on. Nothing. Not even the power light would come on. Let it cool down. Tried again. Still nothing. I concluded that the monitor had died.
I got a old monitor from the back room. Pins didn't match. I talked to sister, best friend via text, on what to do.
They don't make this kind of monitor anymore, I think. I do not see them in stores. It's all flat screens now. My sister wanted me to look around for a old one. Problem is, I can't wait that long. I would give up TV before the Internet. Plus, I do all my banking by Internet. And how am I to look for horse brasses if I can't get to Ebay? Went to wallyworld. Bought a $128.00 Acer monitor. Pins matched. Is up and running. Back in business! Now, all I have to do is keep the cats away from it.
Once I took the old monitor off, they got up on the computer desk. This flat screen is so small (15.6), they still see no barrier to getting up on the desk. I am thinking of putting a brick on the holder, just in case they try to knock it over.Also realized the complete mess on desk. Squalor. I think I will spend the day shredding old mail.

I have received two horse brasses in the mail. My God it's so quick. I remember when it took a month for anything to get here from England when my Nan would send us something. The brasses are the guide dog one and the Cotswold sheep. The guide dog brass is absolutely fabulous. The Cotswold, just okay. It will do and will match the style of the 4-H brass that I will have made.
