I'm not handling this very well. No matter how many times I go over the details, life has totally turned for the worst. I am truly not sure if I can continue to handle this tragedy that has come to plague my life. Yes, I know I know- things always look blacker before the dawn but still many of you will sympathize with me. Specially if you know me and know what happened Saturday morning has so devastated me so deeply.
My "Baby" - my sweet and innocent little baby - her - her -
motherboard melted. Yes, yes yes - I know - I know - how, you ask, am I managing. It is hard. The wife went to turn the computer on Saturday morning and it just sat there. Like a big old paperweight on a desk - sat there. No bells, no beeps, no lights - NOTHING!!!! It is dead to the world. I took the side off and through trial-n-error figured out the cpu cooling fan stopped working. Plugging it into another outlet though, gets plenty of breeze from it. So that part of the motherboard's circuits are bad. Not good Not good. Some how, I just know I can blame this on the kid - it's all his fault - he is the one who is downloading all the smut pictures (oh baby you should see some of them whoa hoo) and music junk. Spyware and spamware all over the computer if it wasn't for my diligent work keeping the junk off the computer.
So, now I am in negotiations with the Family Finance Manager to see what exactly this household can afford (and I am allowed to purchase). I'm leaning towards a new laptop but would settle for a new motherboard. Don't want to push it too much you know. LOL
Anyway, my weekend was shot right from the get go. Not only did the computer take a dive, but we got a new bed Friday night and the coffee pot was retired (not by me). Oh yeah, we "thought" the kid was moving out this weekend but no, decided that maybe next weekend will be the move out weekend. Man, not sure if I can handle any more of these type of weekends. :-/
