Stabbed In The Back.
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
This morning I was horribly and rudely betrayed by a very dear friend of mine.
This friend, with whom I had spent countless nights chatting about anything and everything, oh - how she broke my heart.
I used to talk to her first thing in the morning, while I made my first pot of coffee. We checked our email together and discussed our blogger pals. We were inseparable. Everything, we did it together.
I remember this one time, when she came down with a nasty bug. I was the one who got her prescriptions and held her hair while she spewed all over my counter. I was the one who held her hand. I loved her.
I guess I still do, but it hurts. It was so sudden.
Up until mid-morning, all was right in my world. Right up until I checked my email. It was like my whole world crashed. Slow motion it seemed, but it happened so very fast.
One minute were chatting and the next, it was over. Done.
I still don't know why. It was as if she was broken, somewhere deep inside, some dark place where our friendship didn't count anymore. She didn't care about how much I needed her. She didn't care how much her leaving distressed me. My screen flashed and she spewed angry, incomprehensible words at me. And then there was silence.
But thats OK, I had the last word. I leaned in really close and whispered into her keyboard; You can be replaced Bitch.
And she was.
*In case you didn't catch on, my laptop died this morning, breaking my heart. But with much
**Also. I have no bookmarks. That bitch took them to the grave with her. Can some one send the link to Stacy's Trivia Challenge? And email addresses. I have no emails stored anymore! I need some! How can I email without addresses!!

You are more than welcome to bring your poor sick baby to my house and I will see if I can heal her. I will do my best, but I make no promises. If I can get it running, we'll hide it from JJ and you can still get a new one. Which is probably a good idea. You need more memory and such to do what you do. You could even have your pics on the new one!!!

Ooh, betrayal hurts!
But, new shiny good laptops are fun stuff! How exciting for you!
(second sucks!)
RoxDar I edited the post. He bought me a new computer. and I didn't even have to swallow!!
But I am still bringing the old one to you to see if you can fix it.
Sheila it is exciting! but i was off line all day. there are 86 new feeds in my bloglines. and by tomorrow, who knows how many there will be!
(third AND fourth rocks!!)
Oh noes! Not your best laptop friend! ACK! I dread the day this happens to one of my best friends. I would be completely devastated. I'm so sorry to hear of you loss.
Yet, I'm glad to see that you've moved on to bigger and better territory. Congrats!
Who loves you the most? I'll tell you who loves you the most, the one who gives you the link to the Trivia Challenge, that's who!

And my email is Tjotjog@yahoo.com
Feel the love!
Blue--By the way, you NEVER swallow.
She's beautiful. And faithful, I hope. A keeper. As is your husband.
If my friend ever crashed, that would be the end of onetallmomma. So pray she comes from a longed lived family.
Congratulations!
Thinking of you in your time of loss. Time (and new links) heal all wounds.It's in a better place. Yada Yada--MOVE ON! You've got a young one now!!
I am so happy for you! I thought I was going to be missing you terribly.
Maybe you should start emailing through Gmail or Yahoo - then you'll never lose anything even if you have a crash again. And Firefox has an extension that allows you to save your bookmarks online, which means you can access them anywhere.
Nice! Shiny! Silver! Yay!! What a hubby you have there...awesome.
beachykeen_00@msn.com
Did you get my comment that I finally got the cards??
Congratulation on the new addition. Is this one a girl too? I thought my computer was a boy but I'm not sure how to tell. Maybe you can educate me.
And how beautiful she is!
The sad fact of life is that friends die. But then you can always make shiny new ones!
My addy is: grrlathr at gmail dot com. Write me?
Do you need my address again so I can get my soap? I am so excited, I posted about it. I am sure my parents are proud.
Oh, and sorry about your friend. What a bitch! I am sure the new one will be better to you.
System Backups were intended for just such an occurence. I just got Norton360 which includes the capability to backup your system to their secure online storage. (Of course, I haven't set that up yet...)
Sorry for the hassle of lost info.
Yay for new computer!

for new friends!!! and what Avi said about saving bookmarks... or del.icio.us!
Damned laptops! They love you and leave you. Sometimes they leave you before you get to the loving. And that really sucks.
nice! but no email addresses? your email host should save those right in your contacts. at least, gmail does. you need to switch if you don't use gmail because it's the bee knees, baby!
Kentucky Girl I was horrified when it happened. but then the hubs told me he wanted to get me a new lap top for my birthday and we would just buy it now instead of then. Happy Day!
Mr.Fab sorry pumpkin! I got the link from BFF Kissy five hours before you left this comment. But thanks!
Mr.Fab I almost did once. NEVER again!
One tall Momma All my fingers and again my toes are crossed that you never have to lose a loved one. specially a computerish kinda loved one!
metal Mom but I miss the old links. they were my friends!
Shelli heh. you knew what this was all about long before the punchline, didn't ya?
Avitable I was going to sign up to gmail last time we talked about it, and i kept putting it off because I SUCK. how i wish i had listened to you weeks ago!
Tug I did. I will be replying to all of yesterdays comments today still.
Marilyn The best way to tell if your computer is a girl is check to see if she has large openings in which to shove things in. if so, its a girl!
Finn thanks for the email addy! i put you back in the address book!
Lynda heh. i wrote out the envelope when you gave me the address so I have it still. The husband was supposed to take it to work with him so he could mail it after work, but he forgot. I think tonight is a coffee night and if it is I will mail it from the city!
Lynda so far, except for the really reflective screen, she is!
Peggy the stalker I just love having my very own stalker! whats a system back up?
Tori~ I agree, I should have listened to Adam...
Dan Sigh. We never even got the chance to download porn together. What a waste!
WebMiz I can see why Avi gets a swelled head. Is he right about everything? I will sign up for G mail tonight after the kids go to bed!
when you get your new one, I'll set up a system back. There's not enough room on your old one. That way you will never lose anything again. Smile it's the long weekend and the weather is supposed to be crappy...Big Surprise..welcome May long welcome.
RoxDar
Let us all have a moment of silence for the dearly departed...

Ok, we're over it now. Enjoy your new toy!
I am on a new hard drive. Luckily when mine bit the dust she just needed lipo. LOL I know how you feel losing all the bookmarks. I think I saved them right before when I could tell she wasn't going to make it. I just can't remember where I put them!
I hate to tell you this, but she was giving me oral databits behind your back...
Seriously -- get GMAIL woman. E-mail addresses are kept online.
Aww, that's sad! But new shiny laptops are great fun! I got one in December and now we're inseparable! Love love love! Your blog is great, it gives me giggles (which is also great). :)
it is sooo pretty...
I want one.
man, you really had me going! I thought you were really betrayed by your best friend and I was waiting to hear the scoop! hahaha! Great post and I'm glad that you got a new one!

Okay, I made a joke about your laptop being a whore and your inability to be a whore because you don't swallow (according to Fab), but it was riddled with typos, so never mind.
LOVE IT! OMG, what a laugh!
Stupid bitch trying to cheat you like that. You showed her!
Happy Un-Birthday!
RoxDar Uhm I forgot to bring it in tonight. sorry
