MOL

Meowing Out Loud friends, MOL. Sometimes, I slay myself!

So Mom was preparing my post for tonight when I decided I needed a little petting time. Naturally I had to lay on the keyboard... where else was I to go? Of course I'm shedding, and Mom is on high knot alert, and she rightfully sensed a flank knot. She went in for the kill, and I felt the need to bite her, who wouldn't? Fur-Puller!

In the resulting tussle I managed to turn the orientation of her laptop screen 90 degrees! Holy Cod! She thought a shut down (which took some time just to get the mouse over to the Start button) would do the trick. Nope.

She had to search for the screen properties, and navigate a cascading menu with a mouse that was not even opposite of what she's used too.

Honestly it was a complete hoot! After the irritation wore off, she even managed to laugh pretty hard at her inability to make her brain work differently with her hands. Sometimes kitties gotta lighten the mood, and show others that they really can't take themselves too seriously.

Life's short, go ahead and laugh at yourself, or at least at your humans.

  4. Fin, We think you are a genius. We couldn't have done that even if we hadn't tried! Did that make sense?

    Um...we didn't know you COULD rotate the orientation...you must have magic paws!

  8. I can imagine it was sort of like trying to do something while looking in a mirror. Could she have propped the laptop on its side? Still tricky, I bet. Did she ever get back to the fur knot?

    Tell your Momma that my Momma has done the same thing herself (don't ask how she did it she still doesn't know) and she found out the easy way to re-orient the screen is simply to hold down the CONTROL + ALT + ARROW KEY and it will correct the orientation of the screen. Momma had to google that while the screen was sideways and she had to turn the laptop on it's side so the pointer would work. She was a bit frazzled when it happened the first time, but to happen again -- my Momma is a doofus!
