Computers suck ...

Okay, so I've been gone a few days, let me get you up to date. My niece and her infant left the next day. My husband explained to her that it was too far away from her normal routine and we were scared shitless what with the 130lb monster we call a dog and everything. She understood and, so far so good. As for me, I think I should go to sleep and wake up next year, just to see if it's any better. I mean this is getting ridiculous. First, giving up everything that gave me reason to live, second, all the trouble with the kids, third, my husbands health problems, fourth, my nieces personal problems, and, now, last but never least, my lap-top (that I just got for Christmas) heats up after 10 minutes of use and freezes. Now, since it's under warranty, I've got to send it back for service and will be without it, for a minimum, of 5 - 7 business days. What the hell am I going to do? Without you guys and my poker tournaments, I might as well shoot myself in the head. Who the heck am I going to vent to? If I complain this much to my husband, he'll shoot me and, my Mother, she's got her own problems. No, I'll just have to deal with this like everything else ... lay in bed and moan while I put Compaq's customer service number in speed dial and drive them nuts. And, if that doesn't work, I'll ... I'll ... I'll ... Oh, who am I kidding? I've given up anything worth doing, eating or smoking. I'm screwed.
