Refresh This! (Tech or Non Tech)


Vic, like I've said before, is on the opposite end of technology. When they describe her and I, it seems to be the Jetsons meets the Flintstones. I'm the tech guy, and she's Wilma. Enough said.

Ashleigh was telling this story, which I heard second hand, that Vic was on the internet trying load a web page. For some reason, the page wouldn't load, and Vic asked Ashleigh for help.

Ashleigh is my semi tech, semi artist, semi minimalist daughter. She is like van Gogh meets Bill Gates. She has decided to take on the world of art at Kendal School of Art and Design, in Grand Rapids. She aspires to be a Graphic somthing, and I just hope she can find a good job some day.

Well back to the story, Ashleigh likes to give her Mom a hard time, so she told her, "pay me and I will help you." Vic got more and more frustrated, and finally Ashleigh blurted out, "Hit the refresh button!"

Well, this seems to be a mistake most of the time on the computer, because Vic needs the visual senses vs. verbal learning. Vic was in tears with furstation, and Ashleigh finally looked over and tried to help her. Vic yelled out, "I can't find it anywhere!!" Ash looked over her shoulder and Vic was looking all over the keyboard, and could not find the key!

Now, at this point you are either laughing hysterically, or you are saying "I don't get it?". This means your either a Jetson, or a Flintstone. You know who you are! Now you can laugh.
