WOYWW # 319?

Greetings fellow WOYWW deskers  I am having issues with my main desk top computer..and don't yet know how to post from my I-phone or my Kindle.   Evidently my hard drive won't connect to the internet. I've tried a new cord but to no avail. All our other systmes work so it has to be the hard drive.  I am using a very old computer XP and it is very slow.  I went to the city yesterday and it was all road construction...had to get items for my Bunco group next Monday and wanted to get my frozen drinks and frozen deserts done today.  Had I known I could have taken the hard drive with me and had them check it out.  I hate the thought of going again this week..It takes more than 1/2 the day driving and doing errands.  But I hate to be without it also.  Will have to see how Thurs/Fri goes. So many things stacking up with summer.


It only took me 35 minutes to add this photo!!!  this is a closet in our computer room that I converted to my desk space. Underneath the counter top are 6 of the plastic filing cabinets with 6 drawers each. A great filing system.  On the shelf above I have old game boards, some books and things the grandkids like to use.

You can connect to more deskers by jumping over to Julia's STAMPING GROUND.  Julia is the Hostess with the Mostest.

As I went to link this to Julia's sight, I was shocked to hear about Eliz 's death.  I was not available last week as we had an unexpected death also. Our niece's father in law, age 63, died of a sudden heart issue totally unexpected.  Over 700 people visiting the viewing the night before the funeral. Loved by so many and both families had lots of brothers and sisters  (14 or so).. Then I also noticed a special  stamping designer Heidi Swapp lost her 16 year old son.  Prayers go out to all these families.   Enjoy each minute.

Hoping I can visit this afternoon, have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by.

My desktop broke a couple of years ago and I'm finally getting used to the laptop, but I disabled the finger mouse bit and added a usb mouse. I hope you can get your's repaired faster than I have : ).

It's hearing about people losing their loved ones like this, that makes you more determined to live each day to the full, doesn't it? I shall miss Eliza a lot, she was always one of the first that I used to link onto.
Poor you, having the computer issues. They're a blessing and a bane aren't they? Hope you get it fixed soon :-)
Hugs, LLJ 12 xxx

There is so much sadness shared by us all today....I guess that is part of belonging to such a loving caring blogging family. Eliza will be missed by us all.
Hugs,

I read about Heidi Swapp's son too. Wow. So much sad news this week. I had so much trouble trying to blog from my tablet at the cottage, so I can relate to your plight. It's amazing how we come to depend on our electronic devices to connect us to the world. Difficult to do without them. Hope your desktop is fixed very soon.

Yeah, the joys of living in the country....
But well done for persisting and posting the photo! I hope your computer gets sorted soon. I also have an old one but mine is Vista (One OS younger). It's also very slow but living rurally also means having a very slow internet connection (at least here it does, no broadband) so I'm used to waiting and do other things when pages take ages to load.
Hmm yes, so many deaths this week... Makes you think doesn't it...
Have a great week,
Lisca#18

Death is so hard to deal with by those of us left behind. I too saw the notice about Heidi's son. So very sad for a mother to lose a child, her life will never be the same again. Sorry for your family loss and I send virtual hugs from across the ocean. Clever desk in a cupboard. #22

I feel your pain Sylvia! I always dread downloading photos from my I-Phone to my computer, because it's such a pain!

Computers! they just know how to make life difficult just when you least need it. Hope it gets sorted soon. Angela x 30

Wow Sylvia that is an amazing computer space you have set up. I have no problems with my computer but major problems with sending and downloading from my phone. Sad news and I didn't know about Heidi Swapp's son. Too sad.

Sad news week huh Sylvia, I hope the love that surrounds the families is sustaining for them.
I'm sorry about the computer, your forebearance in blogging is worth a medal...and the thought of going back to the city..I'm with you, it seems such a waste of a day! I love that you keep board games and stuff above your desk...it's a real 'play' area and that's good for the soul. And as you say...yep, live in the moment.
