That did the trick. I have to reinstall all of my games and apps, but the damn thing works again and that's all that matters.

Putting this here in case it helps anyone else. (3/3)

Went back to the console & turned it on. Because of the new password I got an option to proceed WITHOUT logging in. Once I was in, I got the option to reset the console back to factory settings. (2/3)

I'm here, and I'm following. I also keep telling people in person that this is a MUCH nicer place than Twatter has become.

Our internet connection is in the room with our desktop PC. The phone is in a different room. If we moved the hub to near the phone, it wouldn't be able to reach the desktop without a mile of cable or a WiFi dongle. More problems than solutions.

So I'll be stuck with a phone line that I won't use for another 10 months, until I can renegotiate a new broadband only connection.

I was told that I could have an engineer come and move the internet connection nearer to the phone... But that doesn't help.
Couldn't make them understand.

As the years go by, I care less and less about what others think about how I deal with my own issues. When they ask "you ok?" and I tell them the REAL answer, it seems to shock most of them.
As long as my answer helps ME, that's the response they'll get.
I guess years of physical pain will do that.

And I'm betting thousands failed. Even when I tried to "nudge" people towards reality on Twotter.

$2! That's an absolute steal! Well done.

Had to carefully study the picture after I read that.

In the UK, to "widdle" is a colloquial variation on "urinate".
To "whittle" is to carve wood.

Ah, the joys of the linguistic oddities between continents.

It might be worth checking outside your home for a small neon sign with an arrow, saying something like "accommodating human 15m this way".

Does this mean... It's impending? Likely? A possibility?

Can I pre-order it on Amazon?

Come on, Gail! I NEED this!

Nowt wrong wi' Notts, mi Duck!

Ah, well. Never mind.

Actually brought a tear to my eye. Bravo.

Erm... The alt text on the picture is wrong. It says "traders", not "traitors". Can you edit the text?

Shouldn't garage sale and house sale be reversed?

A very happy birthday to the both of you.
Cherish the time you have with your mother; I lost my mother just over a month before her 54th birthday. I was just shy of my 24th birthday.
You never know how much time you will have with your parents.

Short E. Tried to sound it out phonetically; could have gone with CHIVV or CHUVV. Perhaps I should have done.
Either way, definitely not MISS-CHEEV-EE-USS.
