Almost anyone younger than 50 will be able to unsnarl the computer issues, and relieve you of that stress, and perhaps give you a bit of time all to yourself, and a moments respite. If it were an art history student, they might not even mind so much the temper issues, because of the opportunity to work with him...all though that might be over reaching.

I haven't done it but it seems like it might be an easy solution.eadaoinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-5525170233434775392014-06-27T13:41:11.217+01:002014-06-27T13:41:11.217+01:00I don't envy your computer woes.

I hope Word works well and that's as far as you have to go with your problem solving strategies. <br /><br />I must agree with you: edgings are harder than they look! I have just pulled out my third try of the edging of my first lace shawl attempt. I will need to set up a lace knitting station at home, I think, and not expect that I can take lace edging with me to knit on while out and about. Good luck with your edging. I look forward to seeing what you decide.Mrs. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392701183567830086noreply@blogger.com
