The Wireless Rodent

Well, the old mouse has given up to scrolling, clicking. . .everything really.  Kept seeing this pop up on the toolbar.  Something to the effect of saying, "USB connection has malfunctioned.  Doesn't  recognize the connection, please click this message for help."


"Help, click here"? Can't even make the damn thing move to click there!  Grrr. . .  Stupid ass message. . .how do I click there at the bottom of the tool bar when this crap isn't. . . won't even connect to move to any direction?  I have to finish my surfing, surveys to complete,. . .don't feel good and this is making me feel worse...Urg. .so pissed (moving the mouse quickly in circles while that stupid message keeps popping up). "  Whoever came up with this message, I hope they didn't mean "mouse", cause it certainly doesn't apply.  Of course not, just all USB connections that aren't working. . .still angry though!  Dummies!


My daughter got tired of my bitchin', and went to get me a new mouse at Radio Shack.  Called to let me know the prices, so I picked the least expensive one. . .well, at least it's wireless.  


Realize that it's mostly my fault the other one is/has broken.  Ran into the wire, knocking it down. . .hard to move about, arthritis and all, but I could have been more careful.  Enough confession, sorry!


It's a Gigaware wireless Optical, (optical. . .must be a tech term) Mouse.  Let's see. . .sensor, 2.4GHZ, 5 buttons with a rubberized grip. . .hmm, sounds good.  Damn, needs batteries. . .2 triple A.  Well I have a few in the DVD controller.   Oh yeah, forgot. . .daughter brought insurance, so it's also covered for a year in case of breakage. . .cool.


OK, it works good, sometimes feels like I am pushing instead of clicking on the left of the mouse, but all-in-all, works fine.  Even shuts itself down when not in use, cool.  The wireless mouse is here to stay! Yay!!

That's the sum up!

This Part Is Done

My daughter went and did the intake to get a "pro bono" (free) lawyer so, at least, now we have a lawyer. . .sigh, thank goodness!  Our lawyer is going to ask for a dismissal of our case since:

• We haven't used the apartment to commit any crimes
• My apartment is rent stabilized, so the new Landlord(s) cannot raise the rent
• We have been living here for over 15 years, so he can't just kick us out 
• I am disabled, both physically and mentally. . .thanks for understanding all!

So, in a few weeks, we'll know what the end result will be. . .hoping all goes well.  

That's the sum up
