February catch up. 2014

Note: I’m going to backdate this a bit because I don’t want two posts on the same day.

Stream of consciousness typing.

I can’t recall when I last updated this and I don’t want to go back and check.  

I’m sure I mentioned my sick co-worker (Calling her “N”).   But maybe I didn't.   She had cancer and unfortunately passed away in October.   I am doing her job now – this wasn't how I wanted to take over her Job – she was supposed to retire 1/2014

I lost a spider I liked. (died not lost lost.)  I wasn't expecting to find it dead.  I’m also having trouble keeping track of my new Klassi slings… they bury themselves deep and won’t show up to eat.  I've unburied two of them a few times now and limited the substrate they have.  Most of the time my T’s the burrow still are obvious within the burrow – but not these guys.

For Christmas my two big gifts were a heated seat cover type thing and a TV.  The TV was a 32” Vizeo – a step up in size from my 19” LG – but not in quality.   I HATED the fact that the channel appeared in teeny tiny writing.  AND the channels wouldn't change right.  I’d put “4” in there and it wouldn't change.  I had to type 4-1.   Oh and I’m on antenna btw… Don’t do cable/satellite anymore.  So….. I had my parents take it back – they gave me the money they spent on it and I put it toward a new LG.   When I went into the store (best buy) I took the remote for comparison purposes.  (between what remotes looked like.)  To my surprise, the remote operated the LG tvs in the store! LOL.  Even though they told me over the phone that the TV’s were not hooked up to receive over the air stuff (like costco isn’t) I WAS able to change the channels and receive OTA.    I was able to see that YES the menu worked the same… I still got my little box with 9-1, 9-2  etc when I typed in 9.  (Even though the company said the newer TVs didn't have that anymore – I think they didn't understand what I was talking about when I emailed them.).   The box is on the other side but the number are still  a nice readable size, and if I type 4, it goes to 4-1, 9 goes to 9-1…. Etc.  If I want 9-2, I can just hit the down arrow.  

The only problem I’m having isn't with the TV.  I bought a Htmi (?) cord and hooked it up to my read/write DVD player.  Well – it worked fine at first.  Put the antenna through the DVD and fed the DVD into the TV.  I even recorded something.  But now… it doesn't work.  There’s no sound.   I have two antennas – one older and one bought with the new TV.  Both work with either TV (I still have my old one.)   But neither work well if I plug them into the DVD player first.   Also tried to connect the DVD player to either TV… and two different types of connections.  No go.

I think maybe the player is supposed to have an amplifier or something – and maybe the TVs do to… and whatever is in the DVD player stopped working.  It’s annoying because I wanted to record the Olympics.

Last night I just pointed my video camera to my TV then left for bible study – recorded ice skating that way.  :D 

I’m trying to not go off on a tangent but it’s hard.   I've wanted to write things about the Olympics and The Taste and what is going on with my cats but… I don’t want to lump everything in one post.  So this is supposed to be my catch up post… but I know I’m leaving stuff out that I’ve forgotten. 

I also still don’t really know how to sign off….
