Damn, my laptop is broken...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I've been having increasingly annoying problems with it, and last night was the LAST straw.

I could not get into IE at all.

So, today, I called my computer guy, Jimmy, and took it in...

He couldn't figure out what the matter was either, not right away anyhow.

So I left it there...

Damn, I hate it when I don't have a computer downstairs!

Can I have some cheese with my whine?

Thanks!

[Initech]

1. My cable is out - no internet for me tonight.

Thank god for iPhones!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Initech!

OK...I admit it...

Your situation is worse...

iPhones work!

I would be extremely unhappy if my cable were out...:scared:

[Initech]

3. Yeah it sucks but there is nothing I can do right now.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I do hope your situation gets corrected very quickly...

:hug:

[Initech]

17. I'm sure it will be back to normal tomorrow.

If not I'm going to give them hell for it. At least it's not my wireless router since I can get a signal from my hard drive that I have hooked up to it.

[VenusRising]

4. That sucks, Peggy, I'm sorry.

Isn't your laptop fairly new?

I hope they figure it out your problem and you have it back soon.

I would be lost without my laptop.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear VenusRising!

It's only a couple of years old!

I have no clue why it's behaving this way...

I'd be lost too, except I still have my desktop, thank goodness!

Thanks for the good wishes, sweetie!

:hi:

5. Dearest California Peggy

Wishing you and your 'puter a speedy recovery.
:argh:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear seaker...

Aw, thank you!

I hope my computer guy isn't doing that with my baby!:scared:

J/K! I know he wouldn't...he's very cool!

:hi:

[seaker]

15. Sorry

Didn't mean to Impugn his character or skill. I was thinking about your frustration. Take care sweetie.I a sure it will be back home safe and sound.
:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. No worries!

I was really laughing!

It's cool...

:loveya: too!

9. My dear CP

Things could be worse.
(Ask me how they could be worse.) :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Lionel Mandrake!

Why...How could they be worse? *open-eyed innocence*

O8)

[Lionel Mandrake]

24. To paraphrase Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein ...

Well, the joystick could be broken.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Seems to me that I recollect him saying...

"It could be raining."

But I'm not paraphrasing!

:P

[Lionel Mandrake]

30. Yep, that's what he said.

Then, of course, it started raining heavily.

It was a funny gag, and it wasn't even dirty.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. I LOVE that movie!

It's one of my all-time favorites!

:D

[Lionel Mandrake]

33. Abby someone.

Abby who?

[Lionel Mandrake]

35. What knockers!

Why, thank you, Doctor.

10. In Houston we have a GoodWill store that sells used computers for a decent price.

Always good to have a spare computer.

Hope your computer gets well soon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear texanwitch!

That is a good idea!

My laptop was sort of my spare...

I still have my big desktop!

Thanks for the good wishes...:hug:
