I have only two words to describe the past 24 hours: COMPUTER. HELL.
My laptop went completely haywire yesterday -- which I blame on a Microsoft download, as always -- and I ended up having to do a complete restore on the thing. Talk about MESSED. UP. Nothing is working like it used to, it's SLOW, and pictures look like blurry blobs. When I first bought it, it performed beautifully -- and FAST -- right out of the box. So, why isn't it doing the same thing after restoration back to its maiden voyage? This is driving me absolutely bats. Who will save me? Microsoft? Yeah, that'll happen. Toshiba? Maybe. Whoever the hell knows something about the non-functioning wireless connection? Possibly. Hell, maybe I'll just buy a Dell. At least I know they're good about helping you out of tough situations -- as long as you get lucky enough to call a rep who knows English.
The dog started off the day with an "accident." Fortunately, she went in Hubs's room, not mine. She's a good dog.
I haven't had time to go trawling for Words Gone Wild today, but someone sent me this shining example:

Don't you just love it?

 You are so very psychic. But you already predicted that, didn't you? You have "the gift" - and you use it daily to connect with others. You're very tapped into the world around you... Just make sure to use your powers for good! |

Sorry SJ. It's a love hate relationship with our computer buddies. May the force be with you getting back up and running straight and true.

Call the wireless company. The one on your router. They can help you reconnect. You might need to find a new network.
Thank you, CD. I need all the Force I can get. My head is splitting and the technocrap is still driving me berserk.
I don't have a wireless company or router, Roxan; nothing that formal, but it's always worked perfectly before. And now it won't. I'm about to take the sledge hammer to it and dump the pieces out the window.
90% psychic or 100% liar.
I believe some of it, CD, but some of it's pure crap. I get deja vu a lot but can't find my way home from the store. I would think that a person with an 80% score would be able to divine the way home.:)
This is why I have two computers -- so even when one goes fuckwuck, I've still got another to use for blogging.
(Blogging? No, I meant "for purposes of self pleasuring.")
I thrown him off his knocker, dude.
About once every 6 months, I reinstall the operating system on my desktop. It's a pain in the ass, but it improves performance immensely.
Don't worry about Snay. Amongst Baltimore bloggers his proclivity for self-abuse is legendary.
Fuckwuck is an excellent word, MS. I'm adding it to my vocabulary. I have several backup computers, but they're all old and ... SLOW. I loved this particular laptop because it was lightning fast. WAS. Now it just sucks. Like a fuckwuck.
Throw that dude, Greeny! LOL.
That does sound like a pain in the ass, T, but if it works, it works. Ha! I know about self-abuse. I beat myself up at least once a day.:)

Awwww, do I have to????
No, you don't have to, Seeley. Serena say.:)
Serena Joy...What a drag about your PC...It's very frustrating!
Sorry....xoxox
It was a royal pain, g-man, but I'm taking the offensive today, one way or another. Girl's over being mad, now she get even with the evil thing.:)
Then how are you getting your laptop online? You have to be running on a wireless network somewhere!
No; since Saturday, I've had to rely on the old standby dial-up. Yuck.

You are pretty psychic.
While you aren't Miss Cleo, you've got a little ESP going on.
And although you're sometimes off on your predictions...
You're more often right than wrong
So go with your instincts - you know more than you think
And it's a good thing, too, TC. Isn't Miss Cleo in prison? LOL.
I hand my sympathy to you, Serena...it's yours!
I have a Dell at home: it's good. It's my work computer that is driving me mad, going so slowly.
A cup of tea with the sympathy, Lee, and I'm good to go.
Slow is just maddening, isn't it, Liz? I have an ancient Dell Latitude, from the early 90s, that still plugs along. SLOW, but it goes.
