Computer BLUES!

sent my computer into the Geek Squad and they said that it's a hardware problem. It's the memory. So it will be out for a good long time, I'm afraid. My heart just sinks writing this!!    :(  !

I gotta kick out of Andy. We have a much older computer, and the only way to get access to Internet is by dial-up. But I'm not going to pay the fee. Since Andy has a checking account, he has volunteered to pay the monthly charge for dial up Internet which is only $5 a month. With the work he does in our house, I'm sure his allowance can afford that. He said he couldn't take not having no access to Internet. Yeah, NO KIDDING! He also can't stand not playing computer games too (the reason our computer is getting fixed is he fried our memory trying to download Farm Mania).

So, I won't be able to post very often with no computer at home.  I won't be able to do a lot of things.  There's a website for Kuma, and they have this awesome Tank game that is set in WWII Tripoli.   I was playing that at night when everyone was in bed.  Some Satruday nights I didn't get to bed until 3.  MB didn't like it, but I said, "Hey, at least I'm not out at the bars drinking!"  
It certainly was a fun adrenalin rush feverishly climbing up the hill in your tank & then blasting tanks from 100s of yards away.  YEEAAH!  
Well, all of that is on hold for a few weeks until our dear computer comes back.  I explained to Andy that he is NOT the only one who greatly values the computer.  The computer to me is like my baby.  I'm as close to that computer as the kids are as close to their guinea pig and new little dog they'll be getting Monday.

Yeah, I can understand why you need to use the computer, too. And that's what I think, too, about R2's gaming habit he he...at least he feels comfy being home and gaming from home rather than being out there during the weekends. :-)))
