I love this one too - Susanne Daubner normally is a pillar of correctness.   (One has to wait a little bit with this link: it is a video, not only the photo!) 

PS: At the moment I have a huge problem with Google: I cannot comment on your blogs, have to find my password for Google (oh...), so I hope I find a way...

  1. That is why we have grandchildren... to sort out technical issues with computers and telephones. My IRC (Internet Relay Chat) crises still have not been resolved, just like your Google :(

    1. Yes, I'm still helpless. I can enter my Google account and there my profile is to be seen - but I cannot bring it here, am still "anonymous", grrr.

  3. Yes, I think that presenting news is stressful - and sometimes the pressure cooker explodes. :-)

    1. Thank you, Tasker - I was so fuming - that I tried everything (except asking my son, who has so much work at the moment) - and was proud that by "trial and error" I finally managed to work it out. Think it was the Google Crome browser.
      One problem is, I think, psychological: I always expect that the computer might explode if I do something wrong :-)
      Then I remind myself that the device can only count to two - and get more daring. And if I get really angry (as a few days ago when I had a problem on my cellphone with online banking AND seeing a TAN on another screen on the same cellphone - I got furious, and managed, ha, again without help, and was as happy as a lark.
      You see: it is known about me that if there is real stress (I wanted to book a flight) I am quite able to be quite competent - (my father called it bluntly: laziness) same with a big car: too lazy to park it in a small parking place - but when I stood under pressure of time because I had an appointment with the president of my government authority, I managed to get into such a tight place that there were only some centimetres in front and back to the next car - and all that in a few minutes :-)

  5. As they say necessity is the mother of invention. When I was still working I would take pliers and screwdriver to almost any machine in the building. If I broke it they would have to call somebody to fix it. I saved that company so much money on computer repair alone. I am fearful of anything to do with my computer at home. If I break it I have to pay for it. I am so foolish.

    1. Dear Emma, I think you are very courageous to open a computer and repair it - I wouldn't dare. Not one of my working place nor my own. So: you are not foolish but brave!
