what kind of computer?  laptop?  desktop?
 

If you have another desktop computer you can just try plugging it in a sata cable slot internally and see if you can read it and get enough power to it.   If it is a laptop drive you might beable to get enough juice on it with a 3.0 blue USB slot.   secondary drive with a sata slot is better though.

"Hard Disk Sentinel"  or Crystaldiskinfo  can test the drive to see if its still good.  Haddisk sentinel has a short self test you can run aswell.

I'd go thru some more steps you can do.... but if you have a warranty to take advantage ofthen i guess use it.  let them figure it out.

My computer came back on.  Probably because I was turning the tower sideways and upside down trying to find the model number for my protection plan.  It's running rough and loud, so I'm going to have to get it fixed before my warranty expires on October 10th.

I was able to transfer all my files onto my external hard drive and write down all the bookmarks I saved and everything I installed on my computer.  Hope it doesn't go out again before the weekend is over.  It's going to be too hot outside and inside to do anything.  It's 88 degrees in my house right now.  It's even hotter outside.  It's going to be like this for the next few days.

Computers are imperfect machines made by imperfect people

Sorry, but that is so funny!  What we scare ourselves with sometimes.... Been there too.

Ohhh, I know that feeling! Consider it an aerobic workout for your heart

As long as it's only a hand.  I feel I could do with an extra one sometimes. 

"The squeaky wheel gets the oil."  I have to work on being more assertive, too. I hope you find  a listening ear and someone that will st ep up and offer help or be an advocate to help you get to meetings. YS,

Did you get all the latest literature when you were at the meetings? You can get just about everything online now.I don't know of anything you can't get .

Sounds like you need the phone number to call in.We have to get ours from our service overseer.

I picked up some public Watchtowers and Awakes for my sons that I couldn't afford to print for them.  I've been printing out our study Watchtowers for me and my youngest son  for almost 6 years now.  I began printing out the ones for my middle son late last year.   Before I lost my ride to the meetings, I was also able to pick up some books for my sons, my grandchildren, and myself.  It's so much easier studying with my sons and grandchildren when we have the books to study out of.  

I'm really thankful for the things we can get online now.  It's been a real blessing for all of us.

Good for you 

That is a lovely reply, Neil. Very encouraging!  I'm sure Karin you can see how Jehovah views your efforts in serving him, and that whatever our fellow brothers and sisters, or family members or ex's say can never change  how much Jehovah loves us.

Rom 8:38, 39 " For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The way he was talking to me yesterday Neil, is the same way he used to speak to me while we were married.  Always putting me down, making me look spiritually weak.  Even after our divorce, when he was attending the meetings, he used to treat me this way.  Maybe it's just something that he needs to work on.  At least he doesn't treat other women this way.  

From now on, I think I'm just going to ignore it when he puts me down.  I'll  keep my mind focused on some of the reasons you gave me Neil as to why he may be acting this way toward me.  Then I won't get so upset over the things he says to me.

Thanks so much Neil.  You've been a great help to me.  

Whenever Satan uses others to remind you of the negativity in your past, just remind him of his future. You have Jehovah on your side!

Ive dne that before myself , im sure the mods will sort it out.  

No problem.

Was it one of my posts you reported? I'm sure the mods would want to delete that one anyway.

I love Ole' Grumpy cat.  I have one outside that is about 16 yrs old - guess she is too old to cut the mustard, as they say.  Anyway, we found the mouse hole outside and plugged it up so hopefully, this year, no mice.  We will see.  All the crops have been harvested and we are just now getting our freezing weather.  Will be another adventure I suppose.  

I actually already have a cat Adelin.  Eighteen of them to be exact.  I don't know how the little guy got past them and into the house.  They are usually so good at catching them.

Eighteen?!

seriously?

well, I changed my opinion about that mouse - he is a HERO (at least 4 cats per wall and he still got inside! )

OR ... maybe your cats are too spoiled ... you should starve them for a month as a punishment

I don't think there is ever any control when chocolate is involved!! Maybe Jehovah will assign me to a chocolate tree farm or chocolate factory, and of course, no new weight to be added.

Do I hear chocolate calling? Lol.

If a raisin looks like a chocolate chip cookie, those must be small cookies!

Nope! You're not alone. Not at all. You have no idea just how much you're not alone.

And at least you're not saying as you go to the store, you have on the mind what you're going for but as soon as you get inside, and I mean as soon as you STEP inside, your mind goes a COMPLETE BLANK! So you're standing there before the counter feeling like a fool because, in your mind, you must look like a fool with a blank look like "umm, duhhh." Lol, lol, lol.

That's when I usually head for the wine coolers! LOL

I wish I read the one star reviews on (Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Bayer-Seresto-Flea-Collar-Large/product-reviews/B00B8CG602/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_1?sortBy=helpful&reviewerType=all_reviews&formatType=all_formats&filterByStar=one_star&pageN) before I tried Seresto on my dog. Many have reported seizures or worse Others have had success.

These are the people that helped me years ago. I never, ever needed to treat my house again in all the time I lived there! http://www.fleabusters.com/home/rxforfleas

Thanks. I'll try fleabusters.com instead. I want something that has proven to be safe for cats. In the meantime, I'm just going to keep combing out their fleas a couple of times a day to get rid of them.

You have every right to be happy. Lots of us would, "give our eye teeth" to be in your position!

I haven't been to a convention in years Sharon. No way to get there. I found them all on line though, including this years.

I haven't finished listening to the entire convention yet though. I keep getting interrupted. Two of my grandchildren, ages 4 and 5, live next door to me.

or having the study books, insight volumes and notebooks all over the bed!
