The short of the long

I should know better than to play around with technology. I don't know if I've ever said this to readers before, but in my house, there are rules about Tiffany and things with buttons. You see, I'm terribly unlucky when it comes to electronics, technology, etc. I'm not allowed to program anything, play with the VCR or DVD players, mess with the TV settings, or play with anything with buttons that allow you to program something sort of electronic because something inevitably always goes wrong. This includes making major changes to my computer, cellphone (I'm known as the cellphone killer, and this was far before I even broke down and finally bought a cell phone of my own only a couple months ago). I'm sure this all stems from my extreme clumsiness.

I had a little oopsy over the weekend, and it went a little something like this:

Friend: You can take your profile page on Facebook, turn it into an author page, and amalgamate identical pages. (I've been wanting this very thing for months, because I don't like having two pages where one is people who have liked me, the other is some odd 3000 people who have friended me over the years--and I never use that page).

Me: Really? I heard you lose your real author page when you do that.

Friend: Nope. You can do it for reals now.

Devil in back of my mind: Yeah, but this is you Tiffany, what can possibly go wrong *copious amounts of sarcasm lacing these words*

Me: That is so cool. I'm going to try it, because I don't want to lose the people who have so kindly and awesomely been chatting with me for over a year on my author page.

Friend: Oh, make sure you download contacts and info on your profile. I'll send instructions.

Me: This isn't just cool, this is awesome. Now I can talk to all my friends in one place on FB.

Devil in back of my head, unbeknownst to me: *Rubbing hands gleefully together as I gear up to do something stupid*

Me: I download the contacts like I'm supposed to. Get a message that says, all set, we'll email you all the information.

Again, need I stress that this is **ME**

I lose the profile page. Much cursing ensues over twitter. I cannot access the profile page at all. So I feel basically locked out of facebook and all my friends. More swearing ensues on Twitter, where the non technology idiots attempt to help me fix my gaffe on many counts--I'm sure it was a bit of a train wreck. But I tend to be a very vocal person *g* Of course nothing works to fix my blunder.

I did manage to find the missing profile page. Thank goodness. And I did attempt to merge said pages, but the button doesn't work--it does nothing. *BECAUSE THIS IS ME* LOL

So if you were friends with me before. I'm sorry. That page basically doesn't exist to me anymore, since there is nothing but 3000 likes. No wall, not pictures, no info--did I forget to tell you why? Oh, yes. Uh, the download of all my content apparently didn't work (I received a message from FB the following day to try again, but it was too late since I already made the move to a page).

If you would like to add my author page you can click HERE.

Also, because I do have the cutest dog on the face of the planet, if you like, there is a link to vote for Scarlett on my page (you have to like the page first before you vote): Vote Scarlett for cutest dog. (Isn't her new haircut adorable?)

Anyone else out there technologically malfunct (I think I made up a new word)? Tell me I am not alone.
