There will be no LOLcats this Sunday. My apologies to all. [View all]

The 'puter came back Sunday night, and worked OK for a day or so, but the blue screen issues have returned. I can't afford to replace it at the moment, much as I would love to. I will do all I can to get it repaired before the week is out, but it's better to say this now, than to leave you all hanging come Sunday. I know (boy howdy do I) how much you all enjoy the pics, and I wish I could promise that I'll have the machine fixed by then.

Know that I enjoy Sundays on DU as much as anyone, perhaps more. Gathering the pics often starts early Monday morning, and usually doesn't end until Saturday afternoon. My week is a slow build up until the pics come out, and I have an absolute blast doing it. Your laughter, smiles, Awws and Squeees make it all the more enjoyable, and the lovely comments and extra pics you share make what little labor there is in it more than worthwhile.

Again, my apologies. I hope to get this resolved soon. Until then, much love DU, as always.

SCE
