Warning.... Tirade follows

I hate dell with a passion. You may have noticed my lack of blogging, and that would be due to my lack of computering (yes I know that is not a verb.) Well anyway, I have had my laptop for about a year and a half. It is a Dell Insipron 1501. I know it is not the top of the line but should have met my needs and more. Key word should have…..

About a month ago out of the blue I get an error message when I turn on my computer.

“Warning- The ac adapter type cannot be determined. This will prevent optimal system performance. Please check the ac adapter connect properly, remove ac adapter and plug-in again. Thanks”

“Press any key to continue”

Press (f2) 2 times to enter set up

Press (f12) and any key to enter boot menu

now my battery won’t charge and I need to keep my computer plug in to get power. Sucks, but not the end of the world since I only use my laptop at home. Well that worked for like two days. My system started running really slow and would freeze up and not respond.

I finally called Dell which was not a call I was looking forward to since I was out of warranty by six months, and I have heard horrible stories of Dell Costumer Service! Well, I finally called and they were a whole lot of NO HELP! 30 minute conversation of me saying, “excuse me, I can’t understand you, pardon me, What, I can’t understand you, Huh.” Finally he tells me that he can’t help me, and that I need to speak to a technician and that will cost me $40. That is when I had enough. I laid into him and hung up (not very level headed I know.) So a week later still no computer (going nuts) I convince my loving awesome husband to deal with the dell *expletive* (choose any you like, they all work.)

Awesome rock your face off Chris calls, and pays to talk to a technician who then advises him to wiggle the ac adapter cord to see if that works. So long story longer he tells us it is an adapter problem (which we know it is not.) Then he tells us we have to replace our mother board.

So here is the deal. After thinking many swear words (gasp…. and saying a few) I have to replace the mother board which cost about as much as my computer did; Which means I have to get a whole new computer.

END OF STORY….DELL I HATE YOU! I WILL NEVER BUY A COMPUTER FROM YOU AGAIN, AND I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL!

Random pictures from the last month

Pre Hair cut!

Singing in the rain, also checking the cable in the back.

Jessica is always telling me that I can sit in the back because she is going to drive..... Daddy gave her a crack at it. I personally love the hand out the window.

Post Hair cut!

Memorial Day yard work

Mommy, you get Jack out of my room!

The other day I heard an exasperated cry from Jessica's room. So I went to check since I knew Jack was in her room. This is what I saw.



She looked up at me, and said, "Mommy, you get Jack out of my room."



Then she looked at Jack, and was like come on Jack.



It made my day. If you look at Jack he is like what's going on?

Daddy's little sport fans!

I asked Jessica to hold on to Jack so I could take a picture. Not quite what I expected.

JACK VS. THE STRAWBERRY!

Jack Surrendered! The strawberry won.

We have one of those mesh bags that you can put food in. Jack can try all sorts of fruits and veggies and we don't have to worry about him choking. Very messy!
