He cleaned it, rebooted the computer, and whatever else it is he usually does when something goes wrong with our computer and its gadgets.<BR/><BR/>Finally, he decided to reinstall it but couldn't find the installation disk, so he called the manufacturer and they sent one to us. A week later, it arrived in the mail. He reinstalled the printer and now it works fine.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your printer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-16375154125023018682008-07-23T14:24:00.000-04:002008-07-23T14:24:00.000-04:00You reminded me of Homer Simpson ringing the bell ...You reminded me of Homer Simpson ringing the bell of a house, except that instead of it ringing the bell, it would shock him. And he kept doing it, over and over, awaiting a different result. D'oh!<BR/><BR/>We all do this. It's part of the learning experience. Sometimes we catch on more quickly, other times, not so much! <BR/><BR/>I love your writing. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE writing that brings you back to the beginning.

I hadn't thought of using the library to try out texts. Great idea.

Ours has nothing even remotely like an actual textbook.<BR/><BR/>2) If we lived closer, (maybe anyway) I'd loan you our Life of Fred book. It's another off the wall and fun approach to math. I bought the complete set since I have kids on all levels.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113510205727830531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-50532471964987983912008-07-20T09:22:00.000-04:002008-07-20T09:22:00.000-04:00That's a good metaphor, and I've been there and do...That's a good metaphor, and I've been there and done that (both with electronic equipment and home schooling approaches. *LOL*)<BR/><BR/>One of the best pieces of advice I ever got about HSing was that if something wasn't working -- **no matter what investment I'd made** (in time and money) -- to let it go.
