Or not..? With the impending mail strike in Canada, that seems to be the million dollar question: do we mail our letters and packages, or wait until things are settled? Postal strikes are particularly hard on small mail-order business owners such as myself who depend on Canada Post for their delivery service. If you are considering ordering patterns, you may be in for a bit of a wait. (or not...)I have resisted "going postal" on this new computer, which has been one problem after another since its arrival here a couple of months' back. Oddly, I am resigning myself to accept the daily crashes and refusals to boot. I have come to expect that it won't work properly. The installation of a new graphics card on Thursday was greeted with much anticipation as the solution to the problems but the euphoria was short-lived as it started again after two days of good behavior. My household back-up choices for online work include an iPod Touch, a tiny netbook, a wii and a Nintendo DS. Thank heavens for all of them...and for glasses which allow me to see the tiny keys on these devices! If I am slow responding to email, please be patient.
i know how you feel about those computer problems, been dealing with them myself for the past 3 weeks.......urghhhhh. i work for the us postal service, and we too are waiting to see what the canadian post does, doesnt look too promising. but what i am most flabbergasted about is, you can surf the internet from the wii??? how, i must know how to do this!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, as a fellow Canuck, I feel your pain. :(
ReplyDeleteAbout the pending strike - we were just talking about this today. We wanted to order something and then said "well with the strike, we don't know how long it will take, so let's no bother!".
ReplyDeleteI hear you on computer frustrations, although I'll be getting a new one soon. What kind did you get so I know not to get it? :)
You are being incredibly patient Karen.If we were giving out stars for this, yours would surely be gold. I think I would not do nearly as well. I love your sample for the upcoming fibrefest workshop. we all want to be able to make our projects look this well.
