Problems Solved

Monday, October 5, 2026

I've been knitting a green shawl, the first time that I chose this particular color, and as I'm knitting, the yarn did not glide smoothly through my fingers, my needles seemed coated with something, also my fingers.  Every row was misery; I was tempted to discard the project.  I told Google my problem and I got the suggestion to put the yarn in a mesh bag and wash and dry it.

I held my breath to see what would happen.  The yarn is wonderful.

My printer went offline when I was trying to print my bank statement.  Claude talked me through fixing the problem, but it was not working.  Two other people at SRS are having the same problem.  Shirly Bascom resorted to wiring her printer instead of using Bluetooth.

Claude and I were again on the phone and I asked him about wiring it.  He agree to come on Wednesday with a cable, but he thought that I should still try uninstalling and reinstalling my printer after disconnecting the router.  

I called him back, and I was successful.

But then, my second monitor wasn't working.  Claude told me to make sure that I had everything connected.  Sure, I did.  But double checking...I connected it to itself in the extension box, instead of the wall!  I know there are cartoons about this.
