Re: Help!
I have – on loan – an aged Selectric II Typewriter – which I
need very much to do some work on my genealogy. (Long carriage)
I had a flood in my basement and did a LOT of damage, and some
of my genealogy work (done lovingly and painfully with a manual
typewriter with a long carriage by my hard-working Mom) – was
damaged, and I need to redo some (a whole LOT) of the pages.
When I got the loaned machine, I was thrilled. Then I went to an
office supply and got some new ribbons, and the little white
correction ribbons. (Hard to find. Who would have thought it?!)
I spent years working, thrilled to have one of those to work
with. Now... Is there anyone out there that knows how to make it
work? I turn it on, and it sounds like a key is stuck...
(Familiar sound.) But... I can't figure out what it REALLY means
– and how to fix it. Anyone have any suggestions, or ? I live in
Richland. I've asked around, and no one professional that I can
find who does that. I figured I'd be able to do it as that
typewriter had been my mainstay for over 15 years.
I'm sending this now, although I'm about to depart for Hawaii
with two of my daughters – the trip being a Birthday Gift from
my kids!!!! Leaving here this coming Friday, and be gone for a
little over a week. I've never been there, and they gave me this
Surprise Birthday Party 10 days before my big date. It was in
the Grange Hall in Kennewick, and they got me there on pretense
that my granddaughter wanted me to attend a M.S. meeting with
her. We opened the door, and about 102 people – kids, grandkids,
friends, nieces, sister, some ex's, several great grandkids, and
two now-grown (no longer kids) both had lived with us for
years!!!! (One from Snohomish – the other from Walla Walla) I
hadn't seen either of them for years. They took dozens of
photos, and we had a blast – kids cooked up a big feast – and I
can call it the greatest event I've ever had. They gave me an
envelope that announced my forthcoming trip to Hawaii.
I know that there has to be Bombers who can make a car go longgg
past it's prime, and can build vehicles out of parts, and
electrical, and other mechanical and technically mysterious
things. My husband, Doug, could do all that – and I miss him a
lot (he's been gone since 2010 – RIP).
As I said in the "subject" line – HELP!!!!! Thanks.
Thanks, Maren for all your dedicated and artistic and talented
work!!!!!!
