As you may or may not have noticed, I have been missing from action again. I have been busy but the main reason I have not been here is that my laptop died.
Hubby thinks it is the power supply. Who knows. I think I would rather have a new laptop vs. getting the old one fixed. All of that is up in the air right now.
In the meantime, I am borrowing his laptop. I do not know how long he is going to be "nice" about that. LOL. The main thing I am missing is all of my photographs so I will be winging it her for awhile.

A new power supply can cost between $20 and $60 at Walmart. On the bottom of your laptop is a plate that shows the watts you need for your laptop.
I hope you figure something out soon. I have noticed you weren't around but thought you were just busy at the boutique.

I'm not totally sure that is the problem either. My luck he would buy it and install and the problem was still there.
I worked Tuesday this week all by myself and managed just fine. I'm getting more into the swing of it all. By entering new stock into our program at home, it reduces the extra time I need to spend there by doing the same and printing price tags. This way I can just print and put the stock out.

@kareng The good thing about Walmart is that you can return the power supply if that isn't the problem.
But that means you're working off the clock, which you aren't supposed to be doing.

@DaddyEvil That wouldn't matter. This business is set up for empowerment to women. In order to put your merchandise in the store, you have to swap out work hours or pay someone else to work for you. You can pick up an extra day to avoid paying the store a commission. It works out for both parties in the end. So I am basically just working for myself in my own business, just in a different capacity.

I hope you get a replacement soon. I was using a smart phone since last June and just started using a tablet.
I go back to the phone and wonder how I was even able to use it.

@Vikingswest1 Yes, caller ID ruined a lot of things!
That is funny that he wanted to do prank calls. My cousin and I used to love that little game.

Hahah
We have an old rotary phone that I hooked up one time for my grandson. He had no clue. I got to teach him how to dial a number. He asked if you could play games on the phone.
I told him about some of the games I used to play on the phone.
He wanted to make prank calls too.
I told him that caller ID ruined all those games.

Yep, and the new problem is not the first. See my comment under @wolfgirl569 's comment. I have never had that problem with another laptop ever!!

I would go with the new computer, especially if your laptop is a few years old. Good to see you. You've been missed.
