I fixed it!
Yesterday I was working at one of the school desktop computers when I heard a loud crash in the hallway.
"Are you hurt?" was my response.
"Yeah." ....followed by unusual silence. Usually, this child dances and wails loudly when he has a mishap.
Suddenly my suspicions arose to a high pitch. Something was wrong.
Oh no! He had tripped over a Tonka truck and had dropped the laptop. Groan.
It seems like this laptop is rather ill-fated. Not so terribly long ago, this same youngin had accidentally gotten the laptop wet while doing dishes and shorted out the keyboard.
He had just wanted me to type in the password so he could go on Super Charged Science site for some neat experiments. Not to mention that he had failed to ask my permission first.
Well, upon inspection, the computer still ran but it looked like this:
Usable but very unhandy.
Call Matt. The computer tech up the road. That's the advice I got from the family.
I had another idea. Why not try changing the screen from our old laptop? Remember it had a heart attack last May and we just bought another one just like it on Ebay and switched the hard drives? So, I had the extra computer just waiting to be used as parts. Maybe I could save some money.
Should I ? But----what if something went wrong? Was it worth the risk? I goggled on the Internet how to change the screens and watched a couple of videos. Didn't look too complicated. Still sort of scared so decided to wait and see how I felt in the morning.
This morning I woke up more confident. So I started dismantling the 2 computers. Here's the 2 laptops scattered all over my kitchen table:
In an hour or so had it back together with this result:
Guess what? It works. I FIXED IT!!! I feel like a million dollars. What else can I tackle?
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Not sure if that's out of context but its a verse that came to me anyway.
Until next time. KimM

Good for you! And no, I would not think your verse was taken out of context.
