Partly I'm checking in just to keep practicing with this thing. The keyboard is a little different -- no "shift lock," for example... and I'm not sure what all these keys on ABOVE the numbers are for. Starts with esc (Escape, I guess) and ends with the power button, but in between, I'm not sure what I've got here. LOL.
And ds will want the laptop back if I don't use it -- he told dgd tonight maybe she could use it to watch youtube, IF he could come up with a browser for it. This was after I told him it was recommending a new battery. Anyway -- I imagine in Control Panel I can find a "restore to factory settings" command, right?
I seem to have lost a paragraph.
LadyM, that is a lot of teenage drama. I don't blame you one bit. A three-month suspension is definitely extreme.
DGD (8) told me the other day that IF she keeps the living room clean and her bathroom, she gets to have a SLEEPOVER with her two best friends and they will go to a MOVIE and they will go to the DOLLAR TREE to get snacks to SNEAK IN to the movie... and I hope y'all can hear the excitement here. SIgh. I am not ready for dgd to be this old. I think today if I were the parent, I'd just make a rule that "we don't do sleepovers," and be done with it. OTOH, considering her two best friends, one's mother is a teacher in the same grade dgd is in, and the other's parents we have known since ds and the dad started playing t-ball together. He is a deacon in his church and has helped coach dgs' basketball teams. They have a son in dgs' grade and the daughter in dgd's class. If I were going to trust any of dgrands' parents, I'd trust these folks. I'm just paranoid these days.
Of course... we are a LONG way from keeping things clean so far... LOL... AND we don't know how these parents feel about sleepovers, either. So, I'd best not borrow trouble.
RE: trouble here with dh -- he is doing pretty well, not trying to avoid what HAS to be done,
blessed, just doesn't want me to go out trying to do MORE than what is necessary.
I guess I need to check out this Chromebook browser a little bit. So far, I've only looked at this site!
