I would not, could not

drmellow, you should check out this discussion on grits.
There is a worse abomination to the grit than sugar.
It would be instant grits.

This is sick.

We now own three, yes count them, three iPods.
Since getting my wee little Nano for my birthday, I very lovingly allowed Miss Thing to take it with her on a business trip. I haven't seen Bette (aka wee little Nano) since except to recharge her. It also didn't help that the first iPod has been desperately in need of a battery for some time. The charge would last a while for Ronette, but for me, the iPod would be dead in less than an hour. {That's a whole other story of how I suck the life out batteries. And curefreak, keep it clean this time! ;)} And we have been saying for a while that we should just buy another Nano for Ronette, so on Tuesday I bought another one. Not so much an impulse by, but an informed, I saved my pennies, nickels and dimes kind of thing. I also bought a new battery for the big Pod. Everything showed up yesterday. It was happiness all around. I now have Bette back and Ronette will have her Lola.

You want to know about replacing an iPod battery? Damn was it a pain to get the iPod open. My 30-second instruction video did not help at all. I ended up Google-ing information to assist me. Finally got that sucker open and then couldn't get the battery cable unwrapped. When I got that figured out and the new battery installed, then I couldn't get the hard drive to reconnect. I ended up having to reopen the case when I realized that I hadn't actually connected the hard drive on try 10 zillion. But I got everything connected and strapped back together and Oh My! I remember when we got this one and how well it worked. It's amazing what new batteries will do. {Again, curefreak go find the soap.}
