I laughed so hard at these....so funny!!!

[DianaB]

I can just imagine people saying these kind of things too. I think that's what makes them so funny!

[Janet]

I think so too...I would just calm down from reading one and then I'd burst out laughing or it would be one of those inward belly laughs. I loved them.

GREAT list, Diana! I know I came close to having some of those conversations when I was first learning how to use my computer!!

I was embarrassed to call when I first got my computer. I didn't even know where the on button was.
