You know the feeling when you already typed more than 200 words into a discussion then suddenly your laptop dies?

I feel really pissed at the moment. My laptop dies suddenly without warning. I almost wanted to throw it out of my room, thank God I still have the mind to cool down. Before, I use to get a warning that my battery will about to die and now it will just go off right away. Is there something wrong with the setting? Can you tell? Anyway, yesterday we already have an Amicable settlement with our tenants, and they will leave the place until June. Hopefully, they won't bother us anymore. Today is Friday the 13th and I scanned my Facebook. Looks like friends and other people are not bother about this anymore. And I believe it's payday today. No wonder, people are joyous. Do you happen to experience this too?

I usually type in a text file and save every few words. I use a desktop computer I do not have the problem of the battery.

That works perfectly, but I typed my discussion on the discussion box in myLot.

That sucks too when it freezes and you have to turn it off to start again.

I use a text editor like @LadyDuck does, but there can be times I forget to save and lose the data. As long as I don't forget what I was typing, it's fine. My current laptop is doing well, but my previous one would shut down by itself from time to time. Hope the tenants can keep their promise. I barely check my local soccer team's page on Facebook, I don't know what's going on there. I woke up late, as usual, haven't experienced good or bad luck so far.

May be your previous laptop had a heating problem. I hope the new one behaves. It seems that today is "no Facebook day", to protest against what they did. I knew too late, I had already logged in.

@Icydoll Yes, because that makes so easy for us to post it right away other than transferring them here.

Though my Laptop is OK, but because of some faulty operations by me, like pressing a wrong button accidently makes my almost final discussion/response to get vanished and I get frustrated at that time dear friend @JustBhem! Thanks!

I never had my computer die in mid-discussion because I know if I am going to be typing, I make sure it is charging. But my laptop have froze before and that is just super annoying. But my posts mean nothing so I don't get too upset. It is only when I am working on a drawing and I was just about to save it is really annoying when it freezes.

I can relate to that. It happened often times with our desktop computer. I think my hubby has not fixed the setting yet to give a warning every time our cp will give updates. It usually stop when I am in the middle of my writing. Crazy, isn't it? Gladfully, I can recover the articles that I have written. I think I have to fix the setting myself.

Never with mylot when my laptop decided to go to sleep due to battery running out. Most often when I was doing something else.

@JustBhem Mainly because of doing paperwork . (That is the only time when I unplug the laptop so that I could come close to the scanner and the printer, both no longer work unless I connect them directly.)

I would get angry, but then yesterday was a busy day and some how I was a bit frustrated. But today it's been quiet so I hope there won't be much trouble until afternoon. Maybe you can put it in word pad and save it while making your post. Mylot used to have a draft option, looks like they change it.

It’s probably the battery that has used all of its cells and cannot store charge anymore. It’s about time to go for a new battery on amazon. Also, do use ESET NOD32 Antivirus and scan your PC thoroughly.
