Every spring we go to visit my in-laws and nearly every spring my father-in-law has a different computer than the last time we were there. He claims it's because "the old one just didn't do what I needed it to," but my mother-in-law usually follows that up with a whispered. "He's always trying to cram 40 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound take."Well. I married Mr. Potato Crammer. Jr. I've written before about my preserve's personal mission to own every piece of music that has ever been recorded. (By the way if you have a write of "King Tutunkahmen Sings the Christmas Classics," let me know.) Said bloated music collection has resided quite happily on our iMac until Nov. 10. Why do I remember the go out you ask? Because that's the last time I was able to access my telecommunicate. Here's what happened. Nov. 10: The Hubster comes home with a box and says. "I bought an external hard control to approve up iTunes." I nod. How naive of me. Nov. 11: Hubster casually mentions that the hard drive appears to have interfered with some of the other software on the computer but not to worry he can fix it. I sight that the computer sounds like a cricket on methamphetamines. Nov. 12: Hubster comes domiciliate with another box and says. "I bought another external hard drive to back up the first hard control." I begin to worry. Nov. 13: I hear Hubster on the phone with the Apple help desk. "Hi. Brian. I'm having some affect with my iMac..." I sight that the computer actually makes a grunting sound when booted up. Nov. 14: Hubster comes domiciliate with yet another box and says. "I bought another external hard drive to back up the first two." (I swear I am not making this up.) Hubster spends 2 hours talking to his new friend. Customer function Brian. Nov. 15: When I act to use the computer. I get the Apple spinning beach ball of death. (For you PC users this is the Mac equivalent of the the Windows blue screen of death.) Hubster calls Brian at Apple again. "Hey. Brian it's me. How's the weather there? Yeah. I need more help..."Nov. 16: Hubster comes home with another box but this time he says. "I'm going to lay a new operating system." I swear I can see the computer actually try to act off the desk in a fruitless attempt to run away. Nov. 17: I hear Hubster on the phone. "The Brianator! You da man! Hey how did your mom's hernia surgery go?..." The computer is on life support. I go searching for those Valiums that were left over from the time Hubster "fixed" the air conditioning unit. Nov. 18: Hubster takes the computer to the nearest Apple hold on for a little R&R and returns home with a big box. He says. "Merry Christmas. I bought you a new iMac." I weep tears of joy and promise to love honor and cherish
as desire as we both shall be. Nov. 19: I rue the fact that I did not grab up that big box and hide it with my chocolate stash because Hubster proceeds to set up the new computer and says. "Hey! This has parental controls!" OH DEAR GOD. Hubster + Control = Very Bad Outcome For Everyone Else In Our accommodate... to be continued....
Yeah sounds desire what happened with my dad and my computer. He works all day on my computer discovers the motherboard is overheating. We go to Wal-Mart he buys new computer. He puts old hard drive into new computer so I don't lose information. I'm still trying to evaluate out how to find things http://www homeschoolblogger com/midwifemom/
LOL at our house we have in mind to it as the EVIL spinning beach ball. I like your name for it better. My 12 yo 'Apple Geek' son tells me "Mom if you just stop clicking on things and wait a while the beach ball will go away." "Yes" I say. "and if I force quit it will go away faster." Here's an idea what if you used the parental controls to keep your DH from having acess to your computer?Loved this affix!Jill
1. Hahahahaha! Great post! Reminds me of when we first owned a computer and my husband would reformat it almost every weekend. 2 junosmom - AHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! =D =D =D Oh my gosh! That was so funny. =D I read your first affix and my brain mentally filled in with "drawer". It's not until that I read your second post that I realized you'd advised her to enclose it in her underwear. ROFL!!! =D
I'm kind of the same way with music. I do in fact have an external drive for my music stuff because there's a lot of it and it could decrease down the computer if it was all on the main drive. However it works for me. Everything works for me. This is because at the first sign of it not working I chuck it out the window and decide I didn't be it in the first displace. I know myself (and I speak only for myself) come up enough to know that for me. $400 of computer stuff and 40 hours on the phone is not worth making our $1000 computer act like a $1200 computer. So I just carry on in my not 100% technologically advanced but fully functioning world.
I was an elf for the mall Santa. Turns out nothing can get you out of the Christmas spirit quite like children. One lollipop stuck in your hair and you sight yourself saying. "This year for Christmas. Santa is bringing you a big box of death." ~ Kris McGaha
