Amazing, what is obvious to us, is not always obvious to them.

I have looked at the Dell products. I have a catalog. Will

have to go to their website, too.

True,

true. And I have purchased many of the aforementioned items for

myself.

The truth of the matter is that I hate to shop. If I can't

order it out

of a catalog (which I probably could) then I usually resort

to calling and

making an appointment with a personal shopper. But, you

are right.

I could surely go purchase those items for myself. However,

my husband is

always asking for ideas for a gift for me, so I was

disappointed

when he used that excuse for not getting me what I asked

for. So,

he gets one more chance before I go spend the money myself!

He really ought

to know better. Several years ago, he waited until the

last minute

and had not bought me a gift for Mother's Day. He had to

leave for a

trip that included his being gone over Mother's Day. He

apologized for

not having a gift and told me to just go and get what I

wanted.

Without going into details, he said he would not make that

mistake again!

Truth be known, he gets great pleasure out of spoiling

me. I

hate to deny him that!

Carol

I do understand!

Years ago, I knew how bad my husband was at shopping (and how broke we

were), so for Christmas I helped him by getting out a catalog at Thanksgiving,

selecting a nice sensible nightgown that I needed anyway, marking the size

and color and circling the 800 phone number. I handed him the catalog

and told him that was what he could get me for Christmas, so he wouldn't

have to go into a store. The day before Christmas he asked if the

nightgown had come yet -- he thought I was going to order it for him!

He's learned, since.

Yes, you can

order computers on-line, probably with much better results than in stores.

According to a recent survey, people who did so were much more satisfied

with the entire transaction than those used brick-and-mortar stores.

Dell is noted for good service. For Dell, you go directly to their

website. It's pretty easy.

I would like one because my memory is getting worse by the minute.

I would also like to be able to program a variety of reminders. Half

of the time I do not even think about getting the mail until someone asks

if anything important came in the mail that day. I know that I have

come across as lacking intelligence with people who are unaware of my medical

problems or of my past, simply because I am unable to recall information

or process it as quickly as I once did. So, I can relate to your

daughter not remembering what she was thinking. My husband says he

can always tell when I get a totally blank look on my face that it is because

my mind is truly blank at the moment.

Carol,

I use a handsprig visor, it's not a complicared unit like some are.

Works for me.

I use it mostly for lists, calendar, and addresses/phone.

Carol, my daughter

has poor short-term memory due to severe chronic fatigue syndrome.

She thinks well, but she can't remember what she thinks! She carries

a PalmPilot with her everywhere, even when going from one room of her apartment

to another. An important thought may vanish quickly, and having the

Pilot gives her a sense of security. Also, she programs it to remind

her when to take pills.
