R.I.P My Lifeline to the World
It seems the sickness that has permeated this house has spread beyond any expectations. I hope you all will take a moment of silence with me in rememberance on this Memorial Day for my dearly departed.....computer.
Shhhh...
MOMENT OF SILENCE
Shhhh...
I noticed the symptoms last night. The failure to boot. The failure...to do anything at all. *SIGH*
I will miss that old computer. (It was REALLY old.)
I will miss the breaks I would take to get a soda, or a snack as it would load web pages. I will miss how it would kick me offline the moment I tried to download a video. I will miss it so very much...that is until my new one arrives in about two weeks.
The next two weeks...can you say....HELL???
I will have to go do something noncomputerish during the day. When my husband gets home from work...we will have to see if he really thinks those hugs are for him..or just so I can get my hands on his laptop.
The belief right now is that the problems are not hard drive related. So, I should be able to get back all my unbacked-up data...in about two weeks. *BIGGER SIGH* So if you sent me an email in the past oh..forever...and I haven't replied. Give it two more weeks. (Or email me again, I will suffer through the web email JUST for you!)

On a happier note...today was really nice. The trip with family to visit my father's hometown was more pleasant than could be expected. Even the weather held out. Every time we visit that tiny little community (which has grown A LOT since I was a kid) I am reminded how grateful I am to be a city dweller. Farming life would not be for me. I think there is a future post in me about this one.
I hope to visit you all again soon. (Tell my husband he has to share!)

He definitely has to share. Don't worry about email. We can leave messages this way and confuse the readers of both blogs.

Hang on man! You can make it! SHARE Hubby!
You should do all your momma/ vacation stuff really quick this next two weeks, you won't miss the computer, and the kids will so exausted that they sleep for a few days when ya get it.
Doncha hate it when that happens? We have certainly incorporated these appliances into our lives.
Ew, computerless. That's a harsh fate, especially for those of us who have it as our critical communication tool. But...just tell yourself you're getting an upgrade! :)
I would so not wait two weeks. I'd be at Future Shop, trying to get them to clip the floor models from the chains, if need be :P
Oh, and cities? Never! You can't move around, and you can't breathe, and they've all been beaten with so much ugly stick...I'm much happier living back in the 'country'. You don't have to be a farmer to live somewhere where there's green ;)
That completly sucks. Although you will love having a new computer too.
AW, sorry about the computer. We'll miss yoU!
I know all about sharing. Our old computer is not working and we are jockying for my hubbies lap top constantly...so, hubby SHARE will ya?
Alright already! Sheesh! No fair ganging up on a guy!
What she doesn't know is that I have already arranged to bring home a temporary PC until the new one gets here. :P *snicker*

Oh no! Poor dearly departed computer. I hope you will not have to go without for too long. We will miss your presence on the web -- hope you can sneak in a chance to catch up!
My condolences on the departed. Take deep breaths, deep deep breaths.
I know what you mean about not being able to move back to the country. I miss it sometimes, and I love to visit, but I couldn't live there. Growing up twenty miles from anything interesting (ie. my high school friends) was AGONY.
I'm trying to offload a P3-450 on a friend of mine... and that's a challenge!
May your PC rest in peace. Or pieces...
A humerous post, thank you, I needed that!
ACK! It's like reading firsthand about one of those tragedies that you hope would never happen to you, but with full knowledge it's just a matter of time . . .
Your website has a useful information for beginners like me.
