The Computer is Fixed

Vince to the rescue!

The cord that came with the computer . . right where it connects to the computer and there’s sometimes a but of a turn right there because of the angle of the computer and the cord coming in . . the cord was pretty much broken at that point. The other cord I found was apparently a cord that had stopped working but, of course, we never throw anything away. So, now we have two cords that I hope will get tossed.

Vince was checking everything out and he said “The battery may be dead!” I said to him “We’ve only had it a year!” That reminded me of Chad and his tires. I know many of you know this story but when Chad was in college . . high school and college but this happened when he was in college, he would go through tires like crazy. One day I was driving to Louisiana and he called. He said “Mom, I’m having a problem with my car. I went to the tire shop and they told me I need new tires.” I said “Chad! We just put tires on that car!” He said “No! I asked the tire people and it was six months ago when we put new tires on the car!” Six months! I said “Chad . . most people keep tires for 6 years!!” WHAT?? He couldn’t believe it.

I am quite sure now that he’s paying for the tires, he expects them to last longer than six months.

I’m glad the computer was a simple fix. I’m glad Vince is much better at this kind of stuff than I am but really . . what are the chances of having two bad cords? I thought I was being so helpful finding a second cord to try.
