Okay. I've done something stupid and very dumb. I was watching a movie yesterday on my Acer netbook computer. Netflix. Love it by the way...anyhoo, I was drinking Dr. Pepper in a bottle, which by the way I hardly ever do, and I knocked it over. And guess what? You got it...
It was knocked on my laptop. I didn't think it was very much but it was.
*sigh*
RIP my beloved purple netbook. I called a computer guy in town who happens to be a friend too... and he said I probably fried the motherboard. There is one more thing I could try to see if it could work but he said it probably is a long shot.
My beloved husband told me if we couldn't get this up and running we probably could get me a new netbook. I saw one on sale for 200 bucks at Wal-mart. Not bad really considering I paid over 300 for it.
I just need a computer that is compatible with Netflix, Skype, Youtube and Facebook of course....
So I guess my warning for you all is BE very careful with drinks around your computer. I am probably NEVER ever gonna put my drink anywhere near my computer again. I learned my lesson. I just wish the computer I was typing on had a webcam....(I'm borrowing one for now.)
So that's how my day went.
Oh and another thing. I had one more thing happen to me yesterday.I need a dryer. An electric dryer to be more precise. So I called on one yesterday. I went out to look at it, lady said it was electric, and I believed her...until I saw the gas connection tubey thingy at the bottom. (I didn't question the gas tubey thingy until I was at home though) But unfortunately for me, I already paid for the dryer. 75 bucks for a dryer that I cannot use. (We have no gas connections.)
Anyway, tried to call her back yesterday. Nothing. Talked to her sister and her husband. She wasn't home. *sigh* Couldn't get my money back. So I called the pawn shop here in town. Told them I have a really nice gas dryer about a year old, great condition, would they like to buy it from me? They looked at a picture of the dryer I took, and said, "Yes, we'd give you 50 bucks for the dryer." YES! Now I only feel 25 bucks swindled instead of 75.
Now if I can convince my husband I learned my lesson and I will never drink near my computer sgain...maybe by the end of the week I can have a replacement Acer laptop. We'll see.
In the meantime, hopefully I can borrow this computer from my mother in law until then.
*crossing fingers*
Peace out y'all.
