I am ready to scream!! I am working on a quilt, writing the names of the newly married couple around the inside border and I have run out of thread about 3 feet short of finishing, and I discovered that after I did the first side of the quilt the "H" on his name was stretched!!! I did a test before I started on the quilt so I don't know what happened in the mean time.
I am also trying to install the software that came with my sewing machine onto the computer, both my laptop and this desktop and am having issues with both. The labtop quit working, telling me the battery is low and won't restart even though it is plugged into the wall!!! And I can't get the computer here to read the stupid security dongle that came with my software for the embroidery. I swear, electronics hate me today!!!
I'm also bummed because my daughter is now in Iraq to stay for her year tour, and I miss her. I havn't seen her since mid August. I havn't seen my son, who is in the Navy and training in Pensacola since Feb 2nd!!! OK so I am emotional today!!! and ready to toss a couple of computers out the window!!!
A good thing, at least, I can get several hours of sewing in, if I can find the thread!!!!

you know it seems everybodys computers are acting up...mine at work...said a few choice words the last two days..thank goodness I have my own office and no one heard me..and also here at home...everyone I have talked to lately seems to be having some sort of computer problems.

Sounds as if you need a good cry and some chocolate.....

Sorry about your frustration. Been there. I just call DH and he fixes whatever is wrong and I am able to walk away for a few minutes. I am spoiled being married to a computer guy.

Take a deep breath and it will be much better. Hopefully.

My guy is not a computer guy. He ran in the house an hour ago to drop off the car and all I got was "I don't know what to do either"

I will probably have to call my new son-in-law over (he was here last night for dinner) He is our "computer guy" Hate to keep bugging him about computer stuff though!!!

Time for physical therapy and then hopefully on the way home my local store will have the same thread that I need!!!

Oh, that is frustrating! Once in a while my laptop won't "wake up" after it goes into sleep mode. I finally figured out that if I unplug it, then turn it over & take the battery out for a second, then put the battery back in & plug it in again, it will restart. That sounds more complex than it is!
Good luck Gayle!

I feel your pain and hear your scream from here. ((((HUGS)))). Missing your kids and worrying about them is the pits.

Take a break, and hopefully, when you return, things will look better.

Sorry about your computer problems, they can be so frustrating. Hopefully your son in law will be able to solve the problem. Good luck!

That's the pits when you run out of thread just a few inches from finishing. Sorry about everything going wrong in addition to missing your kids. My dh says if it doesn't sew or have a needle or thread, I don't know what to do with it(computer).LOL. Hopefully, your s-i-l can get it going.
