Computer Issues and Flashbacks for Sunday Selfies

Wow, We were abandoned for 887 hours today (Petcretary said 5 1/2), because she has a lot of trouble with her keyboard lately. It makes extra letters or doesn't make them at all...So she went with pawppy to the Apple Store, and was going to see about getting it fixed. Her computer is not new, but not too terribly old either...anyways, they told her it was now out of warranty, and would cost almost 900 dollars plus tax to fix. YIKES! Then they found that her battery was about to fail or even explode. *That* was fixable and would also at the same time render her keyboard issues fixed because in order to fix the battery, the whole thing has to be replaced. Its all one unit. Arghhhhh! But the price for the battery was less than half of the keyboard repair. What?? So we said, go ahead. So we will get a call when they have the battery in stock, and then we have to leave the whole thing there, at the computer hospital, until they call us back to pick it back up. We hope not to be computerless for too long...because trying to do stuff like blogging on the iPhone or iPad is nothing less than aggravatingly hopeless. At least for petcretary. She can comment, but not make posts. 

Anyways, now that its late, we have no new stuff to put in here...so we are going to show off some flashbacks from 2019 about the same time of the year. We were wearing our summertime hats.









 Silly, huh??! Not sure if we'll get new Pirate Day pics, else we will be doing more flashbacks, sheesh!

Petcretary was one of three first commenters at Teddy's Tuesday Teaser Class.

She was also the first right guesser of the image given to tease all the students, but it was also something she shared with her fellowstudent, Mr Frank. A very rare occurence indeed, to have a shared first Guesser that is correct!
A hopping we will go: To The Kitties Blue!  Click here to join them too! We thank them from the bottom of our doggy hearts for hosting this fun bloghop each and every week!

Additional note:

There is sad news at The Cat On My Head, as sweet, precious Misty May has gone to join her brofur Mau, at the Rainbow Bridge. 

Fly Free, Misty May, you will always be loved and treasured.

(I will be making a memorial image for her as soon as I can...)

  1. Those are sweet selfie flashbacks. When I had my last PC a few years ago it came with a blue tooth keyboard and after a while it did exactly the same thing. It repeated letters or didn't print them. The last straw came when it started printing random letters when I wasn't even touching the keyboard. I started thinking it must be haunted!! I went back to wired, but this one occasionally prints words in reverse! I must be touching something without realising it. I delete the word and the second time it comes out right. Maybe it is me who is a jinx on my keyboards!

  2. computer woes make me crazy. have never had Apple so don't know about them. I assume this was a laptop, and i did have windows woes with one years ago, . my windows desk top has a wireless bluetooth keyboard that had to be replaced because i hated the one that came with it. that can be used with all my devices if so desired. not sure how that works with apple. I am with you, using the table to post is too hard to do

  6. I was sad to hear about Misty May. You both look great in the hat- you should remove the shades and wear them. Congrats to petcretary for being clever and quick. I would have just bought a hp laptop for $200, actually that is what I have. :) XO

  7. Hi Benji and Dalton,
    Those are cool hats!
    We do hope your Petcretary is soon reunited with her fully functioning computer.
    Gail realised this week that her MacBook is now ten years old. Although it has not failed her yet, she has decided it's time for a replacement. The previous one was stolen when our house was burgled (and my predecessor Bertie failed to raise the alarm). The house insurance fully funded the new computer, despite the one that was stolen being five years old. So Gail says this will be the first time in fifteen years that she'll be spending money on a new computer, which isn't too bad!
    Toodle-oo!
    Nobby.
    PS If we had a burglar now, I would definitely bark at them.

  12. You both look so cute in your summer hats. Too bad about the computer. I hope it can get fixed quickly. The mom says she can’t make posts from the iPhone or iPad either, especially the phone. It’s way too small!
