One-Liner Wednesday – What the heck?

My “new” Lenovo laptop (less than two years) that is so slow I can’t do a Facebook video chat on it without it crashing and that shuts off randomly, just broke the frame around the screen because the hinge bent from regular opening and closing. Meanwhile, my 10 year old Asus transformer with Windows 8 is still as fast and reliable as ever. I bought a new Asus laptop today.

If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.

NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.

As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.

Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”

The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:

1. Make it one sentence.

2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.

3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.

4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!

5. Have fun!

JusJoJan25 & #SoCS the 18th – Packing it in

This post is part of Just Jot it January and my weekly prompt, Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Find the prompt and see how you can join in HERE.

Well, my laptop is starting to sound like it’s going to pack it in again. And today it got hot enough that I had to turn it off.

But how am I going to pick another computer that will serve me as well as this one has?

I’ve thought about buying a Mac.

But that sounds too much like having to relearn things I no longer have to think about.

But enough whining about technology.

I need prompts!

Go here and give me one if you’re planning to join in on the rest of Just Jot it January. Or if you’ve been participating up ’til now.

I’m making a list of people who have already submitted prompts this month in case I don’t get ten from bloggers who haven’t already done so.

I’ll start on that list at 10am Sunday (tomorrow).

Peck pock puck.

Yes, I cheated. *runs away with the bonus points*

This sneaky post is part of Just Jot it January and SoCS! Want to join in? Just click here to get to the prompt and drop your link. It’s fun!

One-Liner Wednesday – Mercury?

I don’t know which planets are aligned or what’s in retrograde, but yesterday my coffee maker broke and I came home to find my laptop wanted me to install an operating system: if you don’t hear from me for a while, you’ll likely find me wandering the streets, Internetless and decaffeinated, looking for a fix.

Here’s some mushrooms I found. …no, I didn’t smoke them.
