My, how things have changed! Look what Smart phones and Smart televisions have done to us—it is called progress! I long for good ole days sometimes! Years ago, I was gifted the most precious gift from brown headed daughter—an I-Pod! It contained all my music from I-tunes—great to plug in my ear phones and listen away! No Wi-fi involved after downloading all the songs.
This little case included everything I needed as I traveled or walked or sewed or wove or slept. I took it with me while in hospital couple of times. It brought comfort! I could scroll down to exactly what I needed to hear to soothe my soul.
I even found an apparatus that can link the IPod to speakers—that was a bonus.
The day came when my IPod rested for awhile. Then I opened the case, turned it on and there was nothing!! Absolutely!! Nothing! It was dead as a door nail! Charged it for hours—still nothing! I was so sad—has my original IPod died—actually died??
What to do? Charged for days! Nothing! I checked to see if it could be repaired—hubby said cost too much—not to me—money was no object to get my little gem back in my ear! Big sigh! Searching--I could find one on websites for close to $300!!
The orange case laid on my desk for few more weeks—then I thought when all else fails—hit it!! I slammed it on the table and said “ why? Oh why? I’ve had you for years”
Guess what??
It came on!!! Yes!! My IPod was back from the dead!
That goes to prove—hitting something that doesn’t work—does work!!
Now, I’m feeling happy again—I have all my music from ages gone by!
