Hello all.
Just like to introduce myself. After being a member for some months my mother (who is in her 60's) finally helped her (me) technologically challenged daughter :-\ and showed me how to post a message ;D. I have been able to read lots of posts, what a wonderful lot of people you all are and such an amazing source of inspiration and information, but how to introduce myself was beyond me. So here I am. I am a passionate TM user and have had mine for 18mths. My primary reason for getting a TM was health and wanting to remove additives from my family's diet (1 husband, 3 sons, a whippet, 6 hens and 3 guinea pigs) :D :D. The TM has helped with this goal above and beyond my expectations. I use my TM usually a minimum of 3 times a day and often more. In fact I love my TM so much that I am training to become a consultant in Central Victoria - Bendigo area. I'll be underway early Feb. I am a little nervous about it all and excited about being able to share and show people the amazing things the TM can do.
Cheers

Welcome Earth Mumma and congrats on your first post ;) I'm in NE Victoria so not that far away & a consultant. Are you training in Melb in Feb? There is another member on here from NE Vic who will also be training in Feb which is really exciting!! All the very best with your training and future as a consultant. It's an exciting time and the interest growing in incredible!
Looking forward to some of your recipes in the future!

Hello I Love Bimby.
I am actually doing my training right here in Bendigo. We were lucky enough to have 3 of us wanting to become consultants in this area so Janine decided to come here and do the training with us here rather than us having to go to Melb. I have my first Demo booked for the 4th Feb ;D, which I am very nervous about but they are people I know so that will help calm the butterflies.
Cheers
-
That's great! Actually we have 3 booked in for training from here in Feb, and Janine has talked about conducting training up here....
You'll be fine with your demo's. I can still clearly remember how terrifying my first demo was, but out of it I sold 3 ;D. You're an experienced user and have a passion for thermomix. That's the main thing and guests will see the passion! :-*

Welcome earth mumma - good to hear your mother is still looking out for you ;) ;D ;D MrsT has no idea about computers - but gets upset when she is reminded of such.
I was very computer illiterate and, don't worry, I have joined sites and spent hours trying to work out how it all works - some i have just given up. I know that teenagers run rings around me - without instruction books
Good luck with consulting.

SOMETIMES it is good to be surrounded by teenagers at home lol
Welcome Earth Mumma!! Congratulations on becoming a consultant as well. don't stress over it too much, it is a lot of fun :D and I found it much easier than I thought it would be - I think that was because I was an experienced user as well and didn't have to even think about what I was doing with the TMX and could just concentrate on my demo :D
Make sure you add your details to the consultants list ;) ;)
-
Welcome to the forum earth mumma, after having had your TMX for so long, the demonstrations should be a breeze as you will know your machine backwards - ha ha you do have to work backwards don't you :D :D Good on your Mum teaching you the computer basics to enable you to read and post on here - that is a little unusual, Mum teaching daughter. Good luck with your training next month.
-
Welcome Earth mumma. As you have said the forum is a wonderful place.
My DH doesn't even know how to turn on the computer. If he wants to know something about Model A's we have to find it for him!!! Yet he can repair old cars as it is second nature to him.
My DD has to teach me as I'm the one in their 60's. (only just)
-
Help!! :P :P Now I am really going to show what a techno nuff nuff I am. How do I post my details in the consultants list? Thanks
-
You can go to the thread here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1297.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1297.0)
For your contact details use the form [_email=your email address]email me here[/email_]- but you have to replace your email address with your email address and also delete the _ from each end to have people be able to send an email without the email address being visible for prying computers.
Hope that is clear as lake Weeroona mud

Welcome Earth Mumma! Hope you enjoy being a TMX consultant - I love it! Just practice on your friends, and you'll soon get the hang of it! Have fun, QJ ;D
-
It's easy JD! Thermomixer had to put in those lines at each end of the code, otherwise the code wouldn't show up to us.
Welcome Earth Momma! You'll be whizzing your way around this forum in no time at all!
-
Judy, I'm afraid I'm with you. ??? ??? ??? ???
-
Thanks MJ - now I get it. Copy & paste and where he has said 'your email here' that's where you type it. Got it ;)
-
Yes, but remove the red _ too
-
You folk amaze me with your computer knowledge. I went out and bought a netbook today and I HOPE to use it for my emails and perhaps log onto the forum when we are travelling. BUT I am going to need heaps of DD help first.
-
Now you have got everything you want for travelling Cookie1 - TMX & computer. It is hard to go away and leave them behind and there is so much to catch up on when you get back.
-
That's exactly what I thought. Now all I have to do is learn to work it. I can't do anything until I buy some virus software for it. Then the gadget for the broadband and off I go. (i hope)
-
Cookie, you know by now how hopeless I am with the computer, however when we travel we take my macbook with us. We also take our Telstra modum. We did buy a $100 Optus modum that was only moderately successful. We find that by walking around the Hotel/motel room we can usually get a signal. It may not be as strong as the one at home but it is ok.. Hope this is of some help.
-
Thanks Chookie.All help gratefully received. I'm going to buy one of those next G things that go in a USB port. I think I'll buy a prepaid one as I will only use it when we're away. I can bum DD's computer at home. I don't think I'll be permitted to sit checking the forum too often, so it will be quick looks and emails mainly.
-
Cookie1, I love the way you describe things - my kind of gal :D :D :D
-
Still fighting to get my laptop back - either new or repaired >:( - I am technologically challenged - they say I'll be able to add all the info myself from my old computer !!!! Doubt it. ??? :o
-
Gee, that's a long time TMXer.
-
tell me about it - not as bad as ILB though - I am working and have access there.
-
Thermomixer - try to get them to transfer what ever they can - unless your old laptop is still operating then life would be much easier!
i've just started a new post about my new comp dramas.... what a saga it is!
-
Ta - looks like programs are there - but when you go to use them they say there's not a registered copy - so I have been putting lots of discs in to load programs again !!!! :( :( :( >:(
-
hope you have it all sorted now Thermomixer ???
-
Sort of - I am surviving but some of the programs won't work on Windows 7 !! Hope it is working out for you too.
-
Mostly worked out Thermomixer, just a few little issues still to be ironed out here and there.
-
I don't know how you good people cope when things go wrong, I have enough trouble when every thing is OK. ;D ;D
-
How old are your grand-children Chookie? One of mine has just started school so I expect her to know everything by the end of the year ;D ;D ;D Then I can borrow her to fix any problems I may have.
-
JD, 2 have just started school this year, 1 in grade 2, and one 2 1/2. They all know more than their Grandparents, even the 2 1/2 year old. :o :o :o.
-
They are born intelligent these days Chookie ;) I got my GD though when I made paste out of flour and water - she didn't know that. Won a few brownie points with her that day :)
-
I like that one JD! It's interesting watching them so young being amazed by a new trick up GM or Mum's sleeve ;) :D :D
-
Might have to try that too in a few years JD - guess lots of the simple things are going
