I may be absent from WordPress for a bit till I work out laptop issues. This is done on my smart phone, a tedious and excruciatingly slow and irritating process….
Laptop died, I guess
WEGGIEBOY'S BLOG by Doug Thomas
Andy and I miss Dougy
Everything usually works it way out as long as you let go
For sure!
Maybe Andy and Dougy can have a look at it. We kitties are pretty handy. Mom’s computer has been kind of acting up a bit lately, too. The messenger window keeps popping up first thing when the machine starts and the safari search engine comes back with an error message. I think I need to optimize the machine for her and do some kitty sleuthing to figure out the problems. Tee hee hee.
I’d gladly turn IT responsibiltiies over to the kitty boys, but they tell me they enjoy life too much to be bothered! (Besides, they purr under their breath, they don’t like those words and that attitude I have when things don’t work!)
I recognize Dougy on the left and Andy on the right .
BTW I do not remember the name of the furniture where Dougy sat down
In friendship
Michel
It’s an ottoman or foot stool.
Thanks . I did find the word ottoman . I wonder if Dougy is Turkish instead of Persians!! 🙂
Yes, an Angora kitty! I don’t know if they are just similar or the same. I know their fur is really soft to the touch, like you expect from an Angora kitty. This Wikipedia article suggest they are different in head shape and different characteristics of their coats. Theyn it goes on to suggest they are sort of the same cat through interbreeding. Whew!

Thanks for the link. Angora and Persian cats are near “parents ”
Persians were Nr. 1 in America as favorites, but they are Nr. 2 now. The Siamese catr now is the most favorite. Oh well! Persians are Nr. 1 in my home.
Good luck with it Doug. My laptop worked fine but I had to replace it because the power cords kept dying (3) and I couldn’t charge it. Bloody nuisance.
I’m up on again on a new laptop. It has a bigger screen and some other features that are an improvement over the crapped out old one. One thing that’s nice is all the keys function. The old one had a “stutter”. Some keys worked part of the time, other times not. That proved tedious, especially when passwords included the numerals or letters that periodically didn’t work. It also had issues recognizing the WiFi signal. sometimes blanking out briefly. My Internet provider got lots of calls from me, probably not their problem in retrospect. Oh well, for the cost of the service, I’m glad they got to work a bit for it!
Sorry about your laptop. Hope you get fixed soon or get a new one. Hope those kitties keep you busy and have fun with them.
I picked upo the new laptop yesterday. I bought it he day before but let the IT guy where I bought up do the set up so I didn’t mess things up like I always do. I had enough aggravation for the year! Anyway, it works fine and is much nicer than the old one. Best of all, it has a bigger screen, a plus for working on photos.
Yeah you and the kitties are back.
Thanks! That was too much ofg a break, but better than the two and a half months when I came down with end term kidney failure in January 2016!
Look at them, both in the same pose and probably not caring about your laptop! I hope you fix it, though!
I agree. Posting on a phone is aggravating.
When posting photos, the plus sign on the left at the top of the keyboard will get you to your pix.
That sounds worth checking king out! Thanks!
best wishes you will be missed
I’m trying to figure out how to use my smart phone to do this… Tedious and a tiny screen and keyboard make itan unpleasant effort.
ouch❗️ I just dropped $180 on a re-built Hewlett Packard 8300 for streaming & back up for the HP 6005 😉 I will never use a lap-top :'(
I had second PC crash, leaving me my laptop. Now I am stuck with a smart phone to try to do a minimal update till I work out what’s next….
Something will come along & work out for you I am sure 😉 I still have my 60 yr old home built crystal radio for connecting to the outside world, if times get really hard 😉
Yes…
Sorry to hear that, Doug, and good luck with your laptop!
It’s crap.
I will replace itassoon as I can.
Oh I am so sorry! I know how that feels; replaced mine a few months ago…
I wouldlovero
I had to bite the bullet – I still work, you know, and my students are all tech-savvies.
I feel a song coming on: “The Day the Laptop Died.” Chill out==enjoy the solitude!
I got lots of sleep last night…
hope it comes right soon
More $ spent at a time I would rather not spend it. Of course!
always the way…
Yes, always just before major expenses like insurance premiums due or Christmas…
sadly true
I hope you can get it fixed soon.
It’s crap and will get a suitable horrific send off to wherever crap electronics go….
Oh No!
Yep!
My Laptop isn’t even hooked up, I need someone to help me figure it out, so I’ve been using my phone.
That is how I am getting along for the moment…
Aww, Doug! I hope your laptop gets well soon! Given that a home computer/internet-accessible device is a necessity these days, it’s kind of critical, even for those who don’t blog. (And yes, I hate writing on my iPhone too. That itty bitty “keyboard” makes me want to tear out my hair.
Its history. Hate it and have from the start. However doing this on my smart phone is just the horror you note.
I hope you get the machine back up soon, Doug. 👍🏻
It is toast. I will replace it.
Good luck, Doug. We’ll wait for you.

I hope to get something up with my phone but may have to use old photos till I figure out how to access phones on the phone.
So sorry but the bigger question The Tribe of Five must ask is, what keyboard will your felines in residence sit on now? The phone is much too small!
Purrs & Head Bonks,
Tucker & The Tribe of Five
There is always there liner or the new box…
As long as you and the kitties are fine, all is well and we wait patiently.
I hope to resolve the issues
I hope to resolve the issues by tomorrow or Tuesday…
I hope to fix theproblem by Tuesday.
