HELP!
HOW DO I TURN OFF THE INSERT KEY ON MY COMPUTER?
It's just one thing after another this week. Good thing tomorrow is a new week. I can start the shit all over again.
I pressed it again, about a million times. I think it's finally off. It's "I don't know nothin' bout birthin' no babies." I think that's the correct line. You also have to call me Miss Scarlett.
Honey, I hit it a million times. Then I gave up, shut down the computer, and went to bed at about eight o'clock. When I got up this morning it seemed to have stopped begging for a beating.
I'll consider that possibility if it acts up again. It's working--for now. I really prefer to treat it the same way I dealt with my children: berating it, cursing at it, telling it that it will never be any good, a nice kick and slap after binge drinking. Oh, no. Wait. That wasn't me. That was MY mother.
How about "escape" or "exit"....I obviously have no idea! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose didn't work. Shutting it down and going to bed did the trick. It was okay when I got up in the morning.
DeleteWish I could help. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt worked properly the next day.
DeleteTomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya! Tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYou're always a day awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!
Why didn't you call me and sing that? I wouldn't have jumped off the curb and sprained my ankle.
DeleteDon't you just press it again?? Of course I know nuttin bout computers...and birthing babies

DeleteIt's a toggle. Push it on or off. Sadly, it has no red light/green light indicator, it's either on or off, inserting or not.
ReplyDeletePressing it wouldn't turn it off. I don't know why. Shutting it down and going to bed worked. It felt ignored and was happy to see me in the morning.
DeleteHave you tried hitting it a second time? It worked for me before but if not, I'm sorry, I have no idea.

DeleteHave you tried peeing on it to assert dominance? Computers need to know their place in the food chain.
