yesterday…silas…spilled…water…on…my…laptop.
it…turned…itself…off…in…protest.
nestling…it…in…a…bed…of…jasmine…rice…all…night…at…first…didn’t…seem…to…help.
this…morning…i…was…in…the…depths…of…despair.
randomly…throughout…the…day…i…pushed…that…little…power…button.
willing…it…to…turn…on.
joy…of…joys!
it…works!
all…except…the…spacebar…and…the…left…shift…key.
thinking…i…could…google…the…problem…for…a…solution…
i…realized…it’s…difficult…to…search…without…spaces…
apparently…i’m…not…the…only…one…who’s…tried…
now…THAT’S…funny!!

You just can’t leave that thing turned off, can you? 😉
I …figured …the …heat …of …the…computer…working…would…dry…it…out…faster…hahaha!
That’s hilarious!
(hope you get it fixed!)
Yeah! Got it fixed today. 🙂
That’s so sad, but so funny, Melissa! Sorry for your loss. 🙂
God resurrected my computer! 🙂 I was thinking I was going to have to buy a new one.
I…am…not…a…cook…so…what…in…the…world…is…jasmine…rice??? Oops only needed on ? mark. Is what happened sort of like dropping a phone in the toilet? Sorry for your loss. (Sounds like a sympathy card). Hope…it…turns…back…on…and…starts…working…again. Or you can take it out of his allowance for the next 16 years and buy a new one. 🙂
Jasmine rice is our favorite rice. It’s pretty much all we buy. It’s a sticky white rice that has this fragrant, nutty smell. It’s fantabulous in stir-fry. 🙂
Daggone. That stinks.
I……like….you…..
you….. are ….. hilarious…..and …. have…..a …… great…..sense…..of…..humor…..
Boy, that’s hard to do. LOL.
You can get it replaced for about $80-$100. or just type….. like….this…..forever…..
Thanks…
It only cost me $100, which was much better than the $1600 I thought I’d have to spend on a new computer. Haha! 🙂
I….like…the….periods….
There…is….something….so…e.e…cummings….about….it
Or…maybe…its….more…morse…code…reminiscent
Hope…you…can…get…it…fixed…soon
Ha! Morse code. 🙂 And yeah, it’s fixed.
Funny story, when I took it in the “genius” asked me if I was aware of the significant water damage (this was after he had replaced the top case, so he’d opened it up). I told a small white lie, and said, “No. Really?” Haha! Then he said, “Well, someone knew about it because the inside of the computer was full of rice.”
Hahahahahahah!! I was totally caught. 🙂
This makes you look hip and cool. Like a Rob Bell paragraph. Hope you get it fixed! 🙂
Does that mean this was a controversial post? Should I put out a video promo for my new book “No Spaces”…hahah! I’m Melissa Brotherton, and I don’t believe in spacebars.
Melissa – I prefer dashes – you don’t have to type three of them – and it’s right up there conveniently by the “P” – I know you said you were worried – but this all sounds like you’re taking it in stride – either way – hope it get’s better. God Bless.
Thanks, Craig! 🙂 I like dashes too, but it was overwhelming between every word. Ha! Luckily, the problem is now solved.
At last you didn’t los th us of th lttr “”. That would hav bn a tragdy.
Grat post, Mlissa!
Haha! That took some serious effort on your part, Larry. 🙂 So funny.
