Ah...technology, one of the many perplexing issues that haunt me.  As soon as I get one figured out, another jumps in to confuse me.  My new laptop mouse pad is so sensitive sometimes I can't find the arrow or it runs around the screen hiding on me.  Mark told me I could go into settings and adjust the size and sensitivity.  So many choices when you go into settings.  I did adjust the size but couldn't figure out the sensitivity fix.  There must be a five-year old somewhere nearby to help me.  Next solution was to purchase a mouse.  Why did the lady in Walmart look at me as if I was from another planet when I asked her for a tailless mouse? Then I needed to choose a color from all the pretty ones, two-toned, ergonomic, or just plane black. 

 

 I picked the calming lavender package where she pointed to the small receiver which stays in the laptop.  Excited about easily solving that issue....alone.....no assistance from a child, I headed home.  The plastic packing was so tightly secured I needed a sawzall to cut through the plastic.  Then I couldn't find the small receiver.  I opened the packing over the table and it wasn't there.  I checked the floor figuring it fell out and bounced onto the floor like my morning Synthroid pill that missed my mouth and bounced under the stove.  I checked everywhere.  Frustrated, I put the ripped open package, the calming lavender new mouse I had fallen in love with and the receipt back in the Walmart bag and headed to Customer Service.  The lady behind the counter did not look at me like I was loopy.  She probably thought....elderly white-haired customer, first-time tailless mouse purchase.... She flipped the mouse over, pulled down the little back door to expose the safely hidden receiver.  Another plus for me.....I hadn't lost the receiver and my confidence was restored.
