We all grouse about getting behind here.....but for once I really REALLY have a great reason i was off most the day....


....kind of exciting




.............there was a break in one of the cables..............it had a spark or two and then.."what's that smell?"  and there you have it.

no power no computer.

Now the Hubs, doll that he is, decided he had to go to town, no mean feat here, and get a new cable, believing I could not live without the computer for a week.  I told him to stay home-I could wait, I'm a big girl....

......Well as soon as he leaves, I'm thinking;  "golly its kind of quiet, maybe I'll log on and see what everyone is doing!"

:doh:


No one ever accused me of being a rocket scientist...........

Ha Dilu, please don't scold yourself, I have done that to.  Our computer was out of action for about two days a while back, and I mean totally out of action - off having a holiday with the technician.  You wouldn't believe how many times I absentmindedly went over to the empty desk to turn it on to catch up on things.

HA!   :crackup:

At least you're always looking on the positive side, Dilu.  When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  Right?

Apparently you got everything fixed up okay ... ???

Oh wonky Dillykins we've all done things like that . A couple of years ago there had been a storm which knocked out the power. My friend Karen was working at her quite new computer and was horrified when it shut off. She tried many times to get it to work but obviously without power it wouldn't. Still not realizing there was a power cut she jumped into her car drove over to P.C. World and bought a new computer. By this time the power was flowing and everything was back to normal. When she got home she found that the power was now on and the old computer had life. Now after spending a fortune at P.C. World she thought she should hide it from he husband who would not have been amused. Karen quickly fixed up the new computer in her husband's office just in time before he got home from work. As he walked in she shouted 'Happy early birthday'...she got away with it. To this day he doesn't know why she bought him a computer two whole months before his birthday. He even took her out for a meal to say thank you. Karen still quakes in her shoes if I say how's Robert's computer these days!

Hugs Jane.  bear_flower
