Out of Order

Hello from Mr. Farklepants' laptop! My desktop died. It was sudden and unexpected. The Farklepants family requests that you respect their privacy during the grieving process.

Dramatic, much?

This does mean that I'll be forced to take a blog break until matters are remedied. But I will be back to posting once I'm up and running again. Which shouldn't be too long if Mr. Farklepants loves me at all and fixes it post haste!

My deepest sympathies to you over the death of your desktop.

What's up with the sad computers? I've got two now, acting up.

I need the SuperGeeksquad.

I have every confidence in Mr. Farklepants.

Mr Lady said...

Mine died too, with 6 years worth of pictures on the hard drive.

I. Could. Die.

Hope yours is saveable!

Mrs. G. said...

Mr. Farklepants, HURRY!

Mr. Farklepants it the MAN! Right? Right?

I know you must be going bonkers not having your own machine, Tootsie!

Make yourself completely and utterly annoying... he'll want you out of his hair and back on the blog in no time.

Oh Noes!!! Sorry to hear about the death of your PC. Here's hoping you're up and running again soon!

It's not often that we wish for our husband's to work faster, but this might be a good spot for that.:-)

Don Mills Diva said...

Would he spend it up if I came over and nagged at him?

Maybe you should get a laptop, too. Then you can blog in bed, on the couch, on the floor, in the bathroom, and even in the tub!

Glennis said...

Hope you get up and running soon! I enjoy reading everything you write.

Sorry for your loss. Hopefully Mr. F absorbs your pain and gets you a super new version of your desk top so you can kick some blogging butt!

Dear Mr. Farklepants:

I am not sure if you are aware just how much we all rely on Mrs. Farklepants blog posts everyday. Sometimes more often if she has had an extra cup of coffee and lots to say. I urge you to fix her computer ASAP. Actually since she is such a wonderful wife...and I just know she is...why not go buy her a NEW fancy system. She would love it. And you know 'happy wife makes for happy life'.

I'm lighting a candle for your dearly departed. Here's hoping for it to "pull a Lazarus" soon.

This was me a month ago. TOTALLY LOST without my beloved. Geek Squad quoted $500+ to repair. Hubs bought $98 new hard drive and called maker of dead pc and gave them serial #. They sent NEW software for a total of $26 (included quick shipping) since we had already purchased the software with the computer originally. We were BOTH happy ;)! Although I still have years of pics stuck in dead hard drive limbo... at least I can post, and back up ALL NEW photos!

I work at a funeral home. I can help you with your grief and cut you a break on the funeral for your desktop...

I would ask, could you make it a redneck affair, because we haven't had enough rednecks in the funeral home this year...

You know, throw in a couple of short jean skirts, halter tops, tattoos, a little Lynard Skynard...do it up right!

Oh my goodness, I had no idea I was on the hook here.

Hmmm. Well the good news is I re-installed the OS last night and right before I went to bed it seemed to be working enough that TF could at least get online and post.

I still have a full nights work downloading all the updates, installing drivers and whatnot.

Anyway, Vintage Thirty should be good to go...

...still on the laptop.

Yeah, about that install, the image on the screen was so huge kinda like a picture that hasn't been resized properly and had to use the up and down arrows just to read one sentence.

I'll be back soon. I'm promised.

So sorry to hear of your computer woes - just coming off of a 4-week stint of "what the HECK is wrong with my computer?!!!!?!?!!", I can relate.

Ouch - hope you're up and running again soon!
