Sorry to be MIA so long with no explanation, but under the circumstances, I didn’t even have the chance to explain…

I knew the day would come, when I had to deal with the dreaded “‘Puter Blues”.    I recently changed phone service providers (yes, I’m on dial-up, and?  **hands on hips**) and I think I got a power surge or something.    When I went to dial-up, my ISP said there is no modem.    I know how to IT this comp; I’ve had it since I first hit the net in 2002, (which might be a contributing factor as well…hmmm)

So I went thru the steps of finding my modem,  re-installing it, updating and rolling back driver, etc as I have done many times before.    Then the ISP said that it could not connect on that port, so I synchronized the port with the settings of the ISP and that still didn’t work.  

My nerves were shot to pieces!  I can’t get online? OMG! Xanax please…

At this point I said “Phuck it” and decided to just get a new one. This is what took all this time. I hadda put that ish in my budget. I’m far from rich and just can’t run out and lay cheese for a new comp.    Took about a month. Money still kinda low.    Then I got the idea of going to the pawn shop.    That was the best idea; I got a Compaq DC5100 running XP Prof, and includes Desktop Publisher, Excel, Microsoft Office Suite, InfoPath, and PowerPoint. (I’m an applications freak; Ill try anything once!) .  Keyboard, and mouse included of course, and the woman threw in surround speakers and a lil webcam!   For 299. + tax.    AND who ever pawned it recently dropped extra memory so it’s up to 512.    I made out like a fat rat, huh?

I do appreciate all the people who kept comin to my spot and sayin a lil sum-sum, and the notes; it made me feel real good. will try to holla back at each of you individually; it may take me awhile, but ya’ll deserve that.    ::I love you all so much::

Well my big ass mouth is back in the house.  Ya’ll cock ya .45′s and get ready!
