Stand Back People...............
Okay Steph......Tomorrow is the night.....I emailed myself that information you sent me on how to add other blogs to mine....I'm going to give it a shot....
If you look towards Florida...and see a blue green glow with a loud BOOM...that would be the sight and sound of my computer blowing up...see...I'm not all that computer literate...and with Patrick gone in the Marines...my Fix-it man is gone..."Sniff...Sniff" miss that kid I do...So I am going to try this by myself and see what happens...."GULP" (Praying would not hurt....it might even help!)
That would actually be a laugh if I am the one that kills my computer...see over the weekend...Michael and I had this little tiff about computers...actually the one the kids had...had as in they killed that one...(It was a very old model) despite what Michael and I yelled at the kids about how to take care of the computer...we saw them banging on it...generally beating it up...til one day it just wouldn't turn on anymore...Michael seemed to think that while he was pissed at the kids for breaking thiers....there was my computer that the kids could play thier games on as he preceded to let the youngest go on up to play on mine...
You really could have heard the screeching of brakes as I quickly put a stop to THAT plan...that's what started the tiff....Michael uses my computer and I basically told him that the computer was his as well...it was NOT however the kid's backup computer and I was not about to let them have free reign to do the same thing to my computer that they did to thiers....if anyone is going to screw it up...it will be me and me alone...(And I at least know you don't bang on it.....threaten to drop it out the window maybe...but I don't bang on it!) I paid good money for this one....He got upset saying that he felt bad cause the kids didn't have one anymore (That guilt thing for him setting in there) I responded by saying that if they had taken care of thiers like we told them....they would still have thiers now wouldn't they?????......Well he really couldn't argue with that and finally let the matter drop...
Oh well...at least making up is all the fun right?? hahahaha.....
So tomorrow night is play with the computer and see if it lives.....that should be interesting.....then I can add all these wonderful other blogs that I have been reading!!!!!!

Are ya ready for this, Tig? I bet you can fix the kids' computer, all by yourself. (That is, if you didn't throw it out yet!) They probably just knocked a connection loose (computers are actually pretty hardy things, takes denting the case to really make sure you damaged something).
Unplug the power cord, and unplug the monitor's power cord. You don't have to unplug anything else unless the cords get in the way. Take the cover off the case (probably need a Phillips screw driver) and make sure all the cards are seated properly (push on 'em firmly), then check to make sure the hard drive hasn't come unplugged (it'll have a little power line and a flat ribbon cable - make sure it's plugged into the motherboard and into the hard drive).
Wish I lived closer... I'd be glad to tinker around inside its guts for ya!
Make sure you are not electrically charged before you start tinkering as well. Static electricity and computer guts don't mix well. Ground youself out by touching on of the kids...LOL Just kidding!
The above post was from me (Stacy) by the way...
Hi!
Have fun blogging. I was reading Tal's Blog and saw your link...so I popped over to say hi.
I have the same situation you do. My kid has the older computer, but still thinks that she needs to use mine. What can you do?!
The name of my blog is "My Corner." Or some call it "Stormy's Blog."
Take care.

LOL! That's funny Stacy!
Yeah Steph...we basically think the kids knocked something loose...we've decided that we are going to upgrade my system come incometax time and give the kids the one I have now...I have also warned them that if they break that one...they are paying to have it repaired...we're still looking to fix the old one for now...it's just how much money to we really want to spend....
HI STORMY!!!! :) Glad you stopped by!!!!
Kind of sounds like Sav touched the computer... lol
Yell if you need any help..
