Suggestions on How NOT to Treat Your iMac


I have had a glamorous AM. 3 hours hounding down every flea on my poor ill kitten.
And here's a tip, squash them between thumbnails. Hear that click sound. I'm sure that goes in the ape grooming skill list "someone" keeps on me as a diagnostic. Fine.
I have a kitten I'm trying to save.
She drank today from her bottle, ate a little liver chicken baby food and cuddled. Peed. No diapers. This appears to be what I'll be doing for awhile. Her Momma is a neurotic kind of messed up kitty that came with kidney issues. She and my mom have announced they are leaving. My Mom is one bitter helper on a down day. She's suffering actually this momma cat, well in my imagination she is and I suspect she's so completely traumatized I'll have to put her in the car of a therapist, dried up cat's milk. So I feed and hold her too along with a skeletal kitten that is the size of a two week old at 5 weeks. Or Sylvia does it. Interestingly she'll allow anything. I'm changing her name.

I'm now calling her Keyboard.

I figure IT people will enjoy his story. This is for you.
The thing about me is I lack discipline about a lot and that includes my iMac. I let my fingers be sticky, I just take it everywhere. It's been perfect for a year. Today after feeding the tiny, tiny kitten and de-fleaing fatigue set her up on the table giving a second to try to get my back to unfold. I was feeling pain everywhere. Stiff, inattentive, three hours does that..
I think that's how it happened. I think.....anyway the computer went black. At first the green little light on still then all black. Dead. I could not restart, new battery nothing but I noticed a fish smell and a bit of liquid at the battery switch. I deduce my kitten peed in it.

Yep.

So I get a blowdryer to try to deal with that.

Melting five keys pretty soon, not seeing that coming. Incidentally they melt very easily.


Now I have lost all my itunes, photos, documents, my computer. I don't feel good at all right now actually.

No one cares, and I can't afford another. Syl busily talking on her IM thing. I'm taking it to the istore but realistically cat pee and a blow-dryer probably isn't going to come out fine. And still have to feed the kitten that now looks like a walking stick skeleton pint size computer virus, one of the best ever made.
