Most painful experience ever!

I just talked my mother through scanning a photograph over the phone.

Steps:
open photoshop
file-->import-->TWAIN_32
select photo, 600dpi, crop the preview image
hit scan, wait to finish
file-->save as
[i can't, it's beeping]
close the scan dialog box first
file-->save as
save to desktop, as .TIFF (didn't even change the filename from untitled!!)

try talking your grandmother through setting up an ISP over the phone, then come back to me.

Was talking on the phone with my girlfriend and someone was calling on the other line... she came back and said it was her grandma. She was calling to find out which mouse button to click for something. I believe her mouse only has two buttons...

 

[dimsum]

well the go thing is she did it. next time may be you should take about using the button on the scanner, if you have one.

Get this. I had to spend 5 minutes explaining to my father that the window I was in went away because I "minimized" it.

ouch!

The funny thing is, she asked me to see if I could do anything about the tear in the corner. THERE IS NO TEAR!

She probably cropped it in too much, even though I spent a good 5 minutes explaining how to do that, and to make sure she didn't cut anything off.

ARGH!

My parents own a large beverage distribution warehouse. I was checking over a shipment while forklifts were moving all around me. One guy unloading a tractor tailer full of Corona needed to place the stuff in the same section of the warehouse I was in. Corona come either 35 cases (7 x 5) or 45 cases (9 x 5) per pallet. Seems this guy wasn't paying attention on plopped a pallet of 45 on my right foot. Let see, each case weighs about 30lbs plus pallet which meant my foot was bearing a weight around 1,400lbs. I soon started ranting and raving like a madman and it took the guy about 10 seconds to realize what was going on. Luckily I was wearing my steel-toed workboots and that Corona pallets are made of really flimsy wood (like a very heave balsa wood) that flexes easily. He finally lifted the load off my foot. He was lucky I want't very mobile anymore since my first thought was to kick his ass. My foot swelled to about twice it's size. Needless to say it hurt like hell.

Realizing that I am NOT perfect. Happened last year, very painful and troubling!:Q

Ever been on fire? i have. you can feel it, hear it, and smell it, and the one question on your mind at that particular time is," how long do i burn?" no joke.

 

[Missus]

Waxing your privates would be far more painful I bet....
