Hi. My name is Glenda Schloff. I live in beautiful Coos Bay on the coast of southern Oregon.
Our 5th Wheel

At the age of 48 I taught myself how to use the computer (took to it like a duck to water! :>) )... and now, a few years later I consider myself fairly knowledgeable. Always learning though, it's neverending.

I have two dogs, a SmoothCoat Chow Chow and a Pekingnese, both rescued. They're my babies.

I had tropical fish tanks before moving into a 37 foot fifth wheel to live. I miss them, but sure don't miss cleaning their tanks, ha!
I love to read, and research. I'm an avid book collector of varied subjects. I'm also an eclectic collector of all kinds of things. Love garage sales and 'really' love BOGO sales! LOL!

I love to crochet and want to do arts and crafts and learn how to make wire jewelry, my own planters and birdbaths. I love gardening too.

I have a guitar and a 5 string banjo, but don't know how to play either one of them. sigh...someday.......

I'm married 20 years this July to a great guy who is a Boom Truck Operator for a RailRoad Bridge Repair Crew who travels all over the United States. My goal is to earn enough money from my internet business to bring him home off the road. I am determined that that will be this year!

I was tickled pink yesterday when my son, who is in the Air Force in Florida, called me to ask why his computer wouldn't recognize his new memory.  He could have called his techie buddies at work, but chose to call me. It pleased me to no end that he's finally realizing his mother ain't so dumb after all. LOL.

So I asked him if he had installed the memory stick at a 45 degree angle and pushed the stick hard enough to hear it click and to make sure the end enclosures were up and hugging the end of the stick.  He said yes.

So I said, ok, restart your computer, wait 30 seconds and let's see.  He did and it still didn't recognize his new memory.  I said ok, open your tower again and just make sure your stick is pushed down all the way.

When he went to do that, he discovered the one of the white enclosures on the end was not closed and that one end of the memory stick wasn't seated properly.  So he pushed until he heard it click and made sure the white enclosure was hugging the end of the stick, restarted and VOILA!  He now has 1 Gig of memory!

And now he knows what to check the next time he wants to install more memory. 

*Thanks TJ, you made your ole' Moms' day!*  ;~)
