wolfgang press thanks castrol, and so do i

Do you know why?

Because a girl like me, she was born to be kissed.

Lacking that, she was at least born to hear that song by Wolfgang Press, who had lent it to Sir Tom Jones, who had sung it to her repeatedly, on something better than the tiny speakers on her computer.

And now she can!

Actually, she could have done so years ago, but she didn't understand how this promotional item worked and had planned to give it to a nephew for Christmas years ago.

Something else had caught her eye as a better present at the time, so the item stayed in the gift closet, languishing on a shelf.

Why, now, has the item been searched out from its isolated existence?

You can thank the bfe and The 'Cole for that.

Had they not gifted the F-grrl with "Psych" on dvd, she might not have ever thought of using the item in the box in the closet.

As it was, she first sought out the headset that had arrived with her laptop, hoping to hear more clearly the show she so loved and the banter between the boys of the show.

The headset surely did help, drowning out the buzz of the computer and the hum of the refrigerator and the periodic blasting of the room air conditioner and the whirring of the helicopters from the military base.

Seriously... that's a lot of noise nearly always present!

But the headset had an issue: the earbuds were too large for her ears and frequently slipped out, causing a loss of desired sound and an intrusion of unwanted noises.

That's when she recalled the bluetooth speaker in its container, still pristine, still with the ocean reference crisp and clean.

(That's why the Miami Dolphins logo was chosen from the NFL teams available for the Castrol synthetic oil-change promotion.)

Did it need a new battery?

No, it was a sealed unit, so nothing came apart for such to be checked.

It did have two extraneous items: a charge cord, to allow it to draw power from the computer; and a link to carry sound from the computer via the headset port.

For two days, F-grrl would periodically try to get the speaker to work.

Finally, she figured it out!

This morning, she was successful in getting the speaker charged.

This morning, she was successful in getting sound to travel to the speaker.

This morning, she listened to one of her favorite songs, and watched its video on youTube, three times in a row!

This morning, she learned, again, that she is a girl born to be blessed...

i thank You, God.
