I NEED HELP!!! ARRGHHH! - Page 5

Jenny Gump · 09-08-2004, 06:27 PM

I was in a home improvement mood today when I went to Lowes. I purchased, among other things, a new doorbell button. My previous doorbell button had actually fallen out, but you could still push the springs and the thing would ring.

Well, when I unscrewed the old button unit, I carefully took note that there were four wires, red, black, green, and yellow, however, only the black and red wires were hooked to the old unit. One on each side.

So, when I installed the new unit, of course it doesn't work.

Now I am wondering what I did wrong. Any ideas?

I don't deal well with change. I get all nervous and feel little tumors in my legs.

Time to step out of the comfort zone.

tumors? ew.

All kidding aside though... Firefox is super easy to download and use. Couldn't be more simple... and you'll have a lot less problems.

I'm a computer moron, and I didn't have a bit of trouble.

Ya know, today I was thinking about the world and everything. There has to be a God. We aren't just bits of matter. I'm convinced that there's a Heaven.

Anyway, just wanted to share that. And also, I've realized that I'm most spiritual during football practice. Today, I thought about how it would be okay to devote my life to God. Be a monk in some hillside in some small country. That was in the middle of practice.

haha, I just thought about how my legs hurt during football practice. You must be a lineman.

Yeah. Good ol lineman.

Anyway, I'll see this Firefox whatever. It better be simple. No goofy gimmicky crap on the bars and everything. If I don't like it, I'm suing. Or I'll just whine to myself.

David. · 09-08-2004, 08:58 PM

lineman get all the time to sit around and think

They made us DB's run

If you can't figure it out, I'll be shocked. And there's nothing "gimmicky" about it. There are extentions you can add later, if you choose. (Some really cool ones) But the browser itself it's about as simple as it could be.

No, no, no, no, no. The times have changed. Linemen are all about quickness and techinque now.

If your breaker / fuse isn't blown you may need to have the transformer checked with a volt meter. Make sure it isn't fried.

What Phobia said sounds right, but if his instructions don't work, check the breaker and then the transformer.

or have a man take care of it. (just being one of the boys......)

Tumors? Could you possibly mean tremors? I had a guy tell me he had little baby dogs on his legs. (whelps) I think he meant welts.

If it's not like netscape, I'll be happy at that.

Just a little tip here. You don't need a voltmeter to tell if a transformer is blown. Just smell it. They smell burnt and it's quite obvious.
