PC Crap etc.

Current Mood:Angry emoticon Angry

I know I said I would do a post a few days ago but s**t happens so to speak. It has been a long dreadful week for me so far.
Did you ever have one of those weeks where everything just seems to go wrong. ? Well that has been my week.

It started off with this damn pc acting up. It first started with about a million pop-ups . Really pissed me off. i scanned the computer with everything possible and finally got rid of the damn things. I do believe they originated from Limewire. Well needless to say, I got rid of that in a hurry.

It was working o.k. until yesterday. Certain browsers won’t co-operate when I go to certain pages. I did all the scans today again and everything seems to be clear. So what the hell is giving me this damn problem ? Looks like a format may be in order which is the thing that I was hoping to avoid.

The next thing was an injury to my cat. We have 2 cats. One is an outdoor cat and the other one doesn’t go out at all. Spike is the outdoor cat.

He ended up getting hurt which is not unusual for him. He had a red mark under his eye. It looked like a scratch from another cat. Anyway, the right side of his face was swollen as well. With the price of gas, heat, food etc, we really couldn’t afford to take him to the vet right now. Well Spike gets hurt so often, I did get insurance on him. But the way it is, I would have to pay the vet up front and then the insurance would reimburse me. But we just didn’t have the funds at the time.

So in any case, I got Terry to phone the vets office and explain the situation and find out how we could get the swelling down. Terry followed their suggestion and put Polysporin on it. The next day when Terry got out of bed, he noticed drops of blood everywhere. As it turns out, whatever was causing the swelling had burst. To make a long story short, it seems to be coming along o.k. now, but there is no way I am letting him out until it is completely healed. Needless to say, he is not too happy about that.

To me, my pets are like babies. I worry over them as much as i worry over my kids. I had Spike to the vet a few months back and it cost me 105.00 just for him to get medication for an illness he had.

Another problem i’ve had is , we ordered a new dining room set. The table is glass and the 4 chars are leather. When it was delivered last Saturday, we noticed some pic holes in the chairs etc and a scratch on the table.

The company was supposed to deliver another set to us yesterday and they have not showed up yet. Where do these people get off with all their incompetence. It really ticks me off. So that has been my week so far in a nut shell.

I rambled on for enough tonight. Will be back either tomorrow or Friday with another post. Take care all and lots of love ..

  1. Hi Colleen! Oh, poor kitty! I hope he is doing better! I know what you mean about vet bills. Ugh! They can be so high sometimes.

    I am sick to death of computer issues too, except mine stem from a game that me and the kiddos enjoy playing. For some reason, we just lose the connection. Oh its gets on my nerves…what nerves I have left that is. LOL!

    I sure hope the weekend goes well for ya! Oh, btw…I changed my layout on my blog and I hope to be getting on and blogging more. Hubby was off for a month from work and we are still playing catch-up. LOL!



  2. Oh the poor cat. I know what you mean about the vet bills! We have to take our dog Buster quite a bit and sometimes it’s just too expensive to go. It’s kind of sad really, but I hope the cat gets better soon!!

    My mother just bought anew sofa from a company and when it was delivered she noticed nicks in the fabric as well. They argued with her that either her cat or dog had done it (even though she called within an hour of them delivering it). They finally came back a week later with the replacement…. Hopefully your wait isn’t as long.



  3. Someday you will look back at this past week and laugh about it…Remember now that PC’s are only machines and in one way or another they can be repaired…Please do not throw your PC out a 10 story window…HydrogenPeroxide is not just for girls to bleach their hair…LOL…It is an old and accepted antidote for infections such as on your cat…Sure hope he gets better for you…The furniture issue relies on the Businesses which take care of their customers…Customers are always right…In my casual style I would simply say to the Business “Please correct your errors or just remove them from my home for a full refund because I’m not satisfied with your customer service and I’ll go elsewhere.”…Sure hope that this week goes much smoother and better for you and your family.
