I Need my Reward for MY Things

I need to recant my position of not using the internet for banking. I have signed up and can now have access to 7 years worth of bank statements, and be able to find out my balance for myself rather than by telephone. I said I could not or would not do things a lot, but I need to explain. I don't have internet access other than at the library. I have learned a lot doing the THINGS but I also get frustrated about having to sign up for so many sites and having to keep track of the passwords etc.. I do have a face book account now that I have accepted friends in and I have looked in my daughter's face book page to view my x's wedding pictures.
Anyway I am using things and getting more open minded about doing so.

More crap on a stick

I posted a link from my email account to my blog. I also created a my yahoo.com account homepage. Also updated who can comment.

Hi, I want to share a slideshow of my Flickr photos with you. Hope you like them! -- smonsty My photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/23705271@N03/show/ Some of my recent uploads (By the way, if the photostream link doesn't work, try copying and pasting it from this email into your browser's address bar.) Flickr is almost certainly the best photo management and sharing application in the world. If you'd like to see what I use it for you can check out my profile page or browse my photostream.

Hotmail® has ever-growing storage! Don't worry about storage limits. Check it out.

Thing 47

I marked almost all of the things as not useful mainly because I am electric and the computer hates me. I do intend to go back and try the web page AGAIN. Bring out the Zoloft.

Thing 46

Sorry-see thing 45. I will not be able to do this thing. The assumption that everyone has a need to sign up for every THING/especially without a personal computer/is just unrealistic.

Thing 45

Sounds interesting. I think the paper method is a very good backup plan. I know that paper is going to become extinct. I also would not have a need to use any of these plans because I do not own a computer or even a DVD. I can not afford the internet, cable TV,or a service that would connect me to all the electrical mumbo-jumbo in the world.

Thing 44/coupons

There are some nice places to get coupons. I would never do my checkbook etc. on line because I am paranoid-see Thing 41-43.

thing 43/TV

Once again the computer hates me. I would have to down load something (turn off the computer) which would cause me to not be able to work on this particular computer as effectively(?)as I have been currently because the security is off now and I don't know how to turn it on again if I log off.

thing 42/radio

I tried to listen to three or four radio stations but this computer does not like me. (Yes I do take it personally). Also I do not ever listen to the radio. This is not useful only frustrating.

thing 41

My computer hated me when I tried to do the last mash-up task. Also my ONLY freind will not use the computer to communicate with me. I don't need a mash-up. I need a shrink. (You must be a bit crazy to try doing more things on a stick.)

Thing 40/suduko

Thing 40/my photo stream

I spent 2.5 hours trying to get something downloaded to put on this blog. The computer froze Three or four times and I still haven't been successful. I surrender to technology.

thing 38

I looked at all of the screen casting things. I am working on a secure computer and I don't have pictures. I will try to get back to this when I log in on a different computer or when I decided to start over/or remember how to take off security.

thing 37 I don't have pictures, have the same trouble I had the first time you wanted me to do pictures and I need to ignore this thing until I have the patience to do it (which probably won't happen).

Thing 36

I made a comic. I also played with other things but I don't have time to write about them now.

thing 35

I liked the, "What Do I Read Next?", site. "Silly Books", was fun. I think that "Silly Books", would be a good site to put on the library blog site for the kids. I am interested in looking at this thing further and I think it would be useful for patrons that come in and say, "I don't know what I want to read.".

Thing 34

I explored the ask community board about housework. It atarted out as pets. It was funny. I read the other comments by printing them off.
got the gist-Librarians will still be important.

33 thing

I liked visiting my home town. It has grown enormous since I lived there. I like the virtual tour of the hotels. If anyone need specific info about their destination this would be a good place to look for help.

my map thing 32

wondering if this is going to work. I did do a map./

thing31

My Twitter page says I like purple and pink. Otherwise it does not say anything at all except I was compliant about signing up for twitter even though I did not have a use for twitter. I still agree with all the degrading remarks made about twitter so the stage that I am at with twitter is rebellion!! I think twitter is trivial bar/party like communication, and I don't do either because I am boring.

thing 30

I don't use RRS feeds. Don't have time to read them if I used them. I thought I set up a feed on thing three and I did set up tags on my blog for thing 11. I don't have bookmarks to organize and so this thing is not useful to me. If I had my own computer I would be able to have bookmarks. A lot of the things require equipment I do not have. If I had my own computer and it was hooked to the internet I would NOT be using this computer during my day off to do morethings. However I need to use time wisely if I want to get these things done before the deadline arrives. I do think I should be expelled since I love doing this so much.

thing29

Web History is interesting and I signed up. I already have a hotmail account and don't want any more email accounts. I do not want a google site either. I did get a calendar. I think it might help to share it with my work places. I explored alerts and I did set some of them up. I used search wiki too.

thing 28

I made my home page though I am a bit confused about how to get it customized. I will try to add more things at a later date.

thing27

I created a twitter account, watched the video about twitter, read the comments concerning twitter, and I agree with the degrading comments made about twitter.

thing 26

I put a video in my ning space and I tried to put a photo in but was not successful.I am beginning to know how to use the html/other url/ to get pictures on my blog and else where

thing25

I got a rating (rate my blog entries) system, a clock without the correct time, and a headache trying to get a clock with the correct time. I understand how to put Flickr in my blog. I refuse to try any more on this thing. I guess I need to be expelled.

24thing

I changed my avitar. This thing was fun this time.

24 things update

I had to get a new password for this account. I really do not look forward to the frustration of doing 23 more things.
