DVD? What DVD?



About a week ago my home health person brought over a garbage bag of DVDs that one of her clients no longer needed or wanted. She said they were “guy”videos. She thought that I might enjoy them. I told her for sure love to have the DVDs and I would go through and check out what I wanted and then what I want to get rid of. Annette told me then I could take them to a place like FY E or even the video/record shop across the street and they might be a trade or a dollar or two off the price of a DVD I wanted. I went to the booty and pull out about six DVDs I was interested and then put the other 10 in the bag and maybe I'll have about to get a another DVD of my liking . Booty like this not happen very often I'm glad that Annette thought of me when she harvested these DVDs.

The study started out cold dark and snowy. I got up kind of late almost 7 AM. Did a number of chores actually made a breakfast making fried eggs that did rupture when I cracked them into the frying pan, we toasts and tried the other sausages three (you know the little guys, serving sizes for one, I had three- I was proud of myself). I've washed dishes before I started cooking some lunch. Those chores finished by 11:30 AM and I figured I'd earned myself a movie. I thought I would try one of the new/old movies I just got from our home health person. I know I've seen Casino Royale starring David Niven in this spoof on 007, and I'm not necessarily a big David Niven buff but I thought about doing the movie just to hear Herb Alpert play Casino Royale. I pressed the DVD tray for and waited for the movie to start, and waited and waited. Every time I pushed the DVD trade in the second relapse and I would get the message “please insert disk”. I was minorly frustrated but figured that have something to do with the hard drive. I worked on this problems the next couple hours. The first hour I spent searching the hard drive for DVD softwareI knew and I still know that it's got a be there somewhere I just can't find it which I think is really odd. By the second hour I was willing to admit that for some reason this new DVD does not have said software (I always just naturally bundled with anything that went out the door”). Then I started thinking that will new hard drive maybe hard drive people just figured you could just go out and download software. That's what I did. I have to admit as kind of problem myself that did go out and find DVD software downloaded and installed into my system. Sigh, these efforts did no good. Where now I do have a nice little player that looks like it should play the DVD just fine but I cannot get the computer to recognize the DVD software or whatever. Luckily I have Netflix as well as Amazon. I can always find something just frustrating that was something new especially replacement for something I already have that work just fine but now I am going through these headaches. I thought about calling Mark Anthony but I have a suspicion software is not there and I'm going to have to make a call tomorrow when the shops open. I'm only afraid that this will necessitate another trip to PC laptops. Now I worry about what else is missing…
