Puzzle Description:

This was supposed to be a wheel of fortune puzzle, but when trying to make the blanks I accidentally hit a key combination that did weird things to my screen. Not knowing what I hit I had no idea how to reverse it because I am just not familiar with key combos. After much trial and error I finally got it back to normal. Not wanting to take a chance, I'm just going to throw this out for guesses.

Dancing under the stars?

I was actually on the real Wheel Of Fortune 29 years ago. We had 4 children and were expecting twins so we had to move to a larger house. I won $46,000 in cash and it was our downpayment (after taxes, which were considerable) on the house which we still own today.

How many of you owned a TRS-80 computer? It had an extremely frustrating key on it. If hit accidentally it could cause you to stomp around, screaming and gnashing teeth. You could not save on it and if this key which was close to a key used frequently, was pressed it would instantly erase everything you had just input. People were finding ways to put a box over the key to avoid accidents.

Trash 80s were the computers provided at my school. :)

Comment #10 specifically.

I just looked up "Wheel Fortune" on the forum page and then looked for comments from JoDeen.
#21: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Sep 5, 2020
