I am so bummed
I'm going to Mom & Dad's tomorrow, and will be there for three, maybe four days. No problems, just a few appointments, etc., and lots of "little chores" to help with.

Then Mom drops the bomb. "By the way, my computer isn't working. I can get into my files, but I can't get on-line." She then tells me she's had a few people look at it, but they couldn't figure out what's wrong.

That means 3 days of DU withdrawl, 3 days without KOEB, 3 days of Keith re-broadcasts (because there is only one TV, and I don't dare suggest we watch anything else). :cry:

Then, to top it off, I'll be back on Thursday, but I have a church meeting Thursday night.

Is there a KOEB nicotine patch that will get me through???

1. My sympathies rev!
Can you get someone to tape the show for you? How about one of your parishioners.

2. I'll be able to get the 11 pm rebroadcasts,
after they've gone to bed. But that's when I'd usually check in with the KOEB. I'm going to have to experience Keith alone!

(come to think of it, that COULD be nice... :) )

First thing tomorrow, when I get there, is to take the computer to the repair shop.

3. Exactly! Sounds like an opportunity
to do the right thing and help your mom fix her 'puter! :)

4. Well, shoot Crispini, no KO
:cry:

That's life. (BTW, I don't believe KO sits alone at home unless he wants to. Darnit!):7

5. Big ouch though at least
you mom and dad are ok. Hopefully they can fix that computer fast. Thinking 3 days with no Rev. No one to find pages with custom made men's lingerie and pink fuzzy or lavender leather handcuffs? I think the KOEB will miss you as much as you would miss it. Look what happened when Cripini left and :scared: to see what will happen yet while Patsy is gone. We even had mods removing post.

6. Rev, when we had to flee our home during the ice storm last Dec.--
. . . my husband packed up the computer and brought it along!

Why don't you TAKE YOURS to your mom's? You'll be there long enough to justfy the trouble -- plus you won't have to sweat out how long the repair on your mom's takes then!

7. Great suggestion
But they're in a 3-room apartment, and there literally isn't enough room for anything!

I'll admit I thought of begging for a laptop, or even a "loaner" computer from the shop! :)

This will be a good test to see how strong my addiction is.

8. Some "test" when the results are already known! LOL!
. . . Remember, Paul says self-denial isn't good for you!

9. Far be it for me to contradict the good rabbi
But my #1 man said "if any would be my disciple, they must first deny themselves, pick up their cross, and follow me."

Don't know if he had Keith in mind when he said that. O8)

13. I think P was talking about carrying it to extremes. He said it ...
. . . called too much attention to the flesh, as I recall.

You'd have to be the judge of how much self-denial was excessive. :shrug: :crazy:

10. PS - We had our PC on his sister's diningroom table, and put it under--
. . . the PIANO when it was time to eat!

I'll tell you -- where there's a KEITH, there's a way! :-)

12. We'll miss our spiritual advisor, too!
. . . Esp. the guys, who'll miss the wholesome discipline. }(

Take care, Rev, and we'll see you soon!
:loveya:

14. We will miss you too, Rev
and do try to find out if it's possible to get a loaner laptop or something!

One never knows!

Look at it this way...there's always the possibility that Keith will miss you so much he'll do extra "cheese" shout-outs to express his longing!
