Laptops, Bookmarks and Blogs

 
So last Monday my laptop decided to stop working. I tried everything and it won't even restart now, I just get a blue screen. My daughter had an old laptop that my grandson stepped on a few years ago and so it now has a black spot on the screen but at least it works for now. My daughter said she's going to buy me a new laptop when she gets her taxes back. What a sweet kid she is. 

So I've been working on getting some of my bookmarks back like all of the blogs I visit. So I went through all of the comments for the past month and bookmarked all the blogs that left a comment in the past month. I think I have everyone bookmarked again but if I haven't commented on your blog in the past week let me know in the comments so I can visit and bookmark you.

  1. Ugh. I remember you talking about it on Twitter. What a ordeal. I know you have lots of blogs you visit. As for me, I use the good old Google Friend Connect, also for blogs that aren't on Blogger, since you can add urls to it from wherever.

    You commented on mine a few days ago, anyhow I'm here 👋.

    1. I think I have everyone bookmarked again. I just went through all my comments from the dashboard of my blog and did it that way.

  3. Hi, Mary!

    I am very sorry to learn about your laptop woes, dear friend. Your daughter is a sweetie and showing lots of holiday spirit by pledging to use her tax rebate to buy you a new one. At least you can continue to limp along and do your thing using the old one until then. Technology keeps leaping forward, and you should notice a big difference when you start using the new laptop.

    Yessum, I hope you will bookmark Shady's Place Music & Memories, because you and I have so much in common. Take care and enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Mary!

    1. I know. I had it happened one other time so I was careful about printing out all my pictures so I didn't lose any.

  7. I'm so sorry that you had issues with your laptop. I can't imagine if I lost all of my bookmarks. Good luck on getting everything back up and running. You have a great kid there too.

  9. So sorry your Laptop took a crap, good thing you had some backup, albeit damaged some. I knew when my Computer was Dying I started panicking some, sticker shock at the cost of replacement was going to be a financial hardship. But, I drained some Savings and bought this top o-the-line one and so glad I Invested in it... they've come a long way in the 35 Years since I'd replaced one. *LOL*

  14. My power cord is really bad, and I know it's just a matter of time until I will need to get a new computer. I am so sorry that you are having to get a new one. Thank goodness for your daughter.

  16. Can't you take your laptop to a computer guy to fix it?

    1. I asked my computer fix it guy on Twitter and he said it would cost $200 to fix it. But a new laptop is only $300 so I'll just get a new one.

  19. what a wonderful daughter. i just got a new laptop myself. that is the digital age. i bought a canon camera early in the digital switch over and it went down right after the warranty and they told me they don't work on thet model any more. it is a throw away society and the mountains of garbage is going to take over the world.
