My VCR still blinks 12:00~The perfectonist in me is dying:)
Permalink  

I had to laugh in spite of myself yesterday....I got a digital picture frame LAST Christmas and due to my inability to function in an electronic world, I never used it.  Tried once, got agitated and put it away for the year-lol.

I love photography and taking pictures of things/places morso than people.  Nature calls to me mostly, so in reality it was an ideal gift. 

I got it back out the week before Christmas.....fooled with it some more and AGAIN thought to heck with this.....I have no patience when it comes to an alarm clock and my VCR (yes I still have one) continues to blink 12:00!!!LOL

Well yesterday I got it out, worked on it forEVER it seemed, and  I got it working!!!  I loaded in all my picts and then sat back to review my work.  Several of the picts when they started playing were sideways so the PERFECTIONIST in me HAD to go back and spend another hour and a half turning and ajusting and resetting them so they were all PERFECTLT displayed. 

This entire process start to finish took hours.....so feeling full of myself and KNOWING I had it all done, I sat back to enjoy the new found hi tech digital picture show!!!!!!  As the picture show played I was amazed at what a GREAT job I had done-it was PERFECT!!!  NOT!  The very LAST picture of the most beautiful snow covered tree was SIDEWAYS!!!!!

After my initial reaction of YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME, my HP joined me in one of the best laughs I had had in days! 

The old me really wanted to start all over and FIX it and make it PERFECT, but the new me.......laughed about it again and LEFT IT JUST THE WAY IT WAS.........

I truly believe my HP was sending me a message........so I left it that way just as a reminder to myself that I don't have to try to be perfect anymore......and He still loves me just the same.

Love and peace
shelly

I am impressed that you worked the problem out.

You  learned how to load the pictures, learned how to correct the errors and learned how to play the show back  

As I read your share  Last Year you could not do this  and put the gift away. 

Amazing progress!!!
