A lot of laptop computers run hot. My laptop has not been hot. It is pretty cool to the touch. It also runs 24/7. I have it all hooked up and use it as my desktop computer. So I do not use the laptop screen or keyboard or anything.
Today I was playing a game on the computer and all of a sudden their was a “pop” sound and the laptop went dead. I tried to turn it back on and it would not come on. I then notice the laptop of very hot. I could also smell the hot smell of cooking electronics.
I took a nap and when I woke up the laptop would power up.
I got a bad bad feeling.
I always had two or three computers in the past. If the laptop goes out on me I will have to turn around and buy another computer. If I do have to buy one I will get a desktop computer. I am not a laptop fan.
It is the 12th of December. Christmas will be here soon and 2011 will be over with soon and we will have a new year. I think the world is suppose to end in 2012 right?
Of course I am 70 years old so if the world comes to an end in 2012 no big deal.
I am a bleeding heart liberal and I can not get out of my mind that mother that attempted for over a year to get food stamps for her kids and could not get any help. She lived in Texas of course.
After begging for food for her kids and living dirt poor she went to the food stamp office, here in Texas, for help and did not get any help. She pulled out a gun they talked with her for seven hours and it sounds like they could not offer her any help and she shot both her children in the head and then she shoot and killed herself.
I know we got hungry people in the United States but this case just shows how bad things are here in the United States and here in Texas. She had all sorts of contact with the food stamp people and with social service workers and she got zero help.
I guess we need to give a tax cut to the 1% and they will create some jobs and those people will pay some taxes and then someday some help will come to the poor and the hungry.
They say the woman had some mental problems…But you would think during the seven hours of talking to the woman they have told her that they would help her and get food for her children etc.
I am on a limited income, very limited, and I sometimes run a bit short of money towards the end of the month. I often don’t have the sort of food that I want but I can always come up with something to eat.
During this time of the year I always help out some cause with a little money. The CVS and Walgreens often have things at check out where you donate money and I do it often.
That makes me think…You know the Republicans always say that the rich and churches will take care of the poor and we do not need the government to do it. The woman that ended up killing her children, and herself, was out walking around without shoes and dirty and begging for food for her children. Where was the local church? Where were the followers of Christ?
