Cats and Dogs and Their Funny Sides

Its all about teamwork when your thirsty

He came over so the two of them could go on their daily walk...

Two cats with glowing eyes on stairs
The ultimate GLOW in the dark headlights!

Pretty much says it all about my Emerald when she hogs the bed at night!!

Update On Computer Crash

Did you ever think you'd be reading an update on a computer crash?

Future Shop is working on it today and I should hear, hopefully by today, when I can pick it up.

Its being worked on now and all they had left to do was to download the files and documents from the crashed hard drive and install all that onto the new hard drive. I am expecting a call later today but it also depends on how busy they are.

Ok, so I still have the spare but its not the same as having my regular computer with all my programs, files, documents, pictures and the rest of my data. Separation is sooooo stressful !!!

However, soon I will be happily reunited and typing my next blog for all my visitors and readers.  Hopefully this joyful event will happen today - if not, tomorrow. Stay tuned...

Computer Crash

Cartoon - woman with rolling pin and computer
Me on Friday...
I have to apologize to all of you for being away so long. Our computer crashed on Friday and Future Shop told us its due to a bad hard drive - our third so far.

My Computer phoning - "Is there a Doctor in the house?"
I hope to have it back tomorrow; they were able to download all our files, etc, off the old drive and install it on the new one so I won't be back to a time consuming square one when I finally get it home.

Cartoon - sick computer
My Baby is Sick!!!
I will still have, I hope, the rest of my Sailor story as well. Among other things, I've had a great deal of hassle trying to back everything up. This, we are told, is a strong indication that the hard drive is about to fail completely.

Soon to be well and home
Thanks to everyone for their patience. I am using our 'spare' computer, the one we had problems with before and had to actually send to Ontario to get fixed. We got it back a week later to find it didn't work???  Merrill took a look at it and nothing was connected on the inside! Go figure. Its been working ok but I have absolutely no files, no pictures, no story, no nothing in it.

Happy Computer = Happy Catspaw!
Once I get our regular computer back and check everything out, I will begin posting again. Here's to not having any more problems in the future once its fixed...

Happily reunited at long last...

Computers Aren't Just For Humans


Jesus using a laptop
Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.'

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with Heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and of course, the power went off..

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically,
screaming:

'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power went out!'

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.

Satan observed this and became irate.

'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?'

God just shrugged and said, JESUS SAVES.
