Possibly a wrong button got pushed, error seen, and then corrected. Nothing to see, move along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinKitty Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Re: The cranky thread I had to take the anti-restless leg syndrome medication which makes my eyes look small and tired and is addictive. Off I go to a Convention full of pretty young girls in sexy costumes and I'll be this fat old woman with half-lidded, puffy eyes. I must get off all psychiatric medications except maybe the Antidepressant or I may become the shut-in Crazy Cat Lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure psychiatric medications are supposed to help you avoid becoming a shut-in Crazy Cat Lady. Although I know someone who has that as her goal in life...

SSgt Baloo Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Thursday evening two weeks ago my main computer died. I spilled an almost-full glass of soda on it. I was so upset I went into a deep blue funk. It was a week before I remembered I might have bought the Service Agreement this time. Saturday I took it into Best Buy to see if they could fix it. It's covered! Yaay! They couldn't recover any data from the hard drive. All those PDFs, pictures, and works-in-progress -- lost! I won't see it again until September. I'm just glad I hadn't gotten around to disposing of my old computer before this happened. The OC doesn't have 4G built in, but I can use it at wifi hotspots.

Never EVER toss a computer that you spilled stuff on. Most times a tech can just pull the Hard Drive, connect it to another computer and get your data with no issues. The only time it becomes nearly impossible is when the computer is fully immersed in Water (or other liquids) while running for enough time for said liquid to reach the HD. Even then there are services that can get your data back (if you are willing to pay for them). Very glad the the Geek Squadders could get it fixed for you!

SatinKitty Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Re: The cranky thread So the new router worked with my computer for one day, now the computer can't get the internet or if it gets it it loses it soon after. Every other device on the network, including this Laptop, is working fine. OddHat will have to call tech support which he does not want to do. Also there's a stack of shirts and pants to be ironed and I just don't want to. The time and energy it takes to keep a cotton garment looking good is ridiculous. I think I will take them to the dry cleaner and let him deal with them. I have rarely ironed in my life and just don't have the knack.
