Jeepers Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 All is fine. My internet is out and so is my computer! I'm at the library using one of their computers. It's a real mess! Or rather I am. Just wanted to check in and let you know I'm still alive and kicking. I'll check beck in when ever I'm live at home. Brother! Also, I noticed one of our BIG Super K-Marts went out of business the other day. So, I was in the area of another Super K-Mart today and they had a big sign that said going out of business. I went in and everything was between 10-30% off. It just started so there was still a lot of stuff in the store. Just a heads up in case there is one near you going out. Don't know if it's the regular K-Marts or just the Supper ones or if it's just in my area. Yes, I came to the library just to report that! Love to you all and will be back as soon as I can. Coming to the library sucks. Everyone is jammed right up on top of each other. And boy is this computer dirty. Pfffft. Beggers can't be choosers huh! Quote Link to comment

The WE2's Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 We've still got the "Monster" in the fix it shop :-( Cost us $185 last time to put in a new hard drive plus a back up "just in case". Well, it tanked, so he put in back together on the back up. Then it tanked. So...he did some diagnostics and when he put in one of his hard drives, it chewed it up too :-( Not gonna spend much on it, but it's so FAST MrWE2 hates to part with it. Me? I'm ready for a nice big laptop that will power our Visio tv and also be available to "grab and go" if necessary. Our main pc right now runs Vista and does good. The Acer notebook (XP) is powering our tv but I want it BAAACK! I enjoy sitting in my recliner using it wifi to nose around while MrWE2 watches his shows etc. :-) So Jeeps...me knows some of your frustration! Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 THERE she is! We'd heard your disappearance was computer-related. Do brave the library a few times if this problem lingers long. And.....if I suddenly disappear, it will be cuz my wheezing laptop has gone south. For the past year I've had to use gel ice packs to keep the doggone thing cooled. It's bought me extra time tho. Overheating will kill laptops! MtRider Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Jeepers, Hope you are able to get it fixed soon. Quote Link to comment
windmorn Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 :bighug2:Good to see you on here! Keep an eye one the Kmarts going out. They may not reduce much. The one where my mom and dad live said they were boxing a lot of stuff up and shipping it to other stores. When their Staples went out a couple of months ago didn't reduce anything except perishables. They boxed everything to send to other stores. They gave me a lame excuse for not clearancing things of it being because you can use their online store. I'd always heard in the past that it was cheaper to reduce and sell out than to pay extra help to box and then ship it. I guess times are changing. Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I have prime membership with amazon.com, they mail or use UPS, it works for me, thousands of namebrand items of all types and lotsa books! I live too rurally to even get to the nearest city with wallyworld or kmart and big grocery stores. Good luck, hope laptop problems are resolved soon. I find they only last about four years now through regular use because of drivers, never mind malware and viruses. Its just the way it is. Quote Link to comment
