Waiting To Award

Waiting To Award

Herb’s blog, Herbdate 22090-660:

My Dearest Fans, Friends, Fiends, Foes, Foundlings, and Frogs,

I’m sorry, but today’s post has to be poned. Why we have to wrap a post in a piece of flat cornbread, I am not sure. Where does the word postpone come from, anyway? I’ll have to look it up later, sorry. My wife’s laptop computer went ka-blooie and I have spent all day and half the night getting her set up on a different machine. Hopefully it will tide her over until we can get a better option worked out.

Anyway, I decided not to rush tonight’s post and just let you guys know what’s going on.

    Bloomin’ heck Herb. I m one of your admiring frogs. I know what it’s like to battle the setting up of a computer, so all bravo to you!

      Thank you so much for the encouragement. You get the main stuff finally done and then there’s restoring backups and “I used to be able to…”

    Oh.😅 My.😂 Word.🤣 This revealed a hidden sense of extra humor I didn’t even know existed!😵
    You may have thought this post was a fail and not cool, but I’m sorry. It was funny and it really made my day!🙃
    Out of the titles you listed, I’m sure you would refer to me as a foe or else your freaking daughter!🤪

          You know, I can feel the breeze from here. Actually I have a couple of people who are big fans. Maybe I should give out an award for that.

    I have recently had to fight a computer myself I escaped with only minor injuries and most of my dignity. I hope you know a teenager who can help

    Stay well and laugh when you can

    Sort of like, “I fought the law and the law won” Only computers. Teenage grandson wasn’t available so I muddled through as best I could.

    Oh, Lord! Setting up a new computer is a job and a half! Then you have to kind of break yourself into the new machine and get used to the newer and changed features. Here’s wishing you a quick adjustment!

      Thank yopu kindly, ma’am. My wife is happy to have something she can work on but she’s not what you would call, “pleased.”

        I hear you. It sucks when the computer goes kaput!
