OMG...I am in Indiana and left my computer charger at home!!!!

Go for a nice walk, the early air is so fresh and the walk will do you good. Listen to the birds.

It has been a nice visit. I usually just bring my laptop because I get up so much earlier than everyone else. It gives me something to do that won't wake the hosts up..lol. Thanks for the response.

You act rude? Posh! I don't think you have a rude bone in your body. Enjoy! (I like a nice Spring rain but not that stuff that goes on forever.)

Yes..a little visit with the b/f's family. They are great people and he is very close to them. He doesn't get to see them as much as he would like so we try to at least come up once a year. It has rained the whole time and his mom is letting me use her laptop for a while...I didn't want to ask and seem rude..but she offered...lol. Thanks for responding!

That's a very positive outlook..lol..I love to hear what you will come up with! I actually did look through the bookshelf in the room I was staying in..lol..I didn't really find anything...a bunch of woodworking books...but I looked through them anyway..who knows...I might be able to build a birdhouse now!

Why hello there stranger! I hope you are well! I wish I knew my way around here a little better. I don't know where anything is...lol. I am also worried about seeming rude. It has been raining and the host has been kind enough to offer me hers for a bit...whoop whoop! She loves me...lol. Thanks for responding!

Well you aren't missing anything down in Tennessee...rain, rain and more rain. Hopefully the weather up there is far better than the weather down here!

I checked at Walmart here and they were $79. I am going to wait. The host here has let me borrow hers for a little while..it has rained our whole trip. Anyway..a couple of more days. Thanks for responding.

That is a real high price. That is cool that the host is so generous to let you borrow hers! Have a good time!

You've made my day Jen and I really appreciate it.

I am a firm believer in that Ms. Tickle..lol. This time it has just proved to throw me off my body clock though...maybe that is for a reason too though I am sleeping in and staying up late now since my trip. Thanks for the thought...I always love your thoughts.

I still have those lists so I can send you a copy to show you how I did it and you can modify it to fit your needs if you'd like. It'll give you a good head start on making your own lists. Just let me know and we'll talk more on PM. Yeah, long long long trips they were. From Texas it was a 25 hour trip that we did it straight through one time and found it to be too deg gone much on our minds and bodies so we stayed at a hotel/motel over night from then on. It was a challenge getting the gang inside too but we did it. Then from Arkansas, it was about a 15 hour trip. Still, too long and hard on us but we made it too. lol Then get this sh!t, hubby's family expect US to come and visit THEM in which we did but we learned a hard lesson from that. No more no way! Because since we've moved to NC, and hubby's sister and her husband moved to VA from NY, the rest of the family comes down to see her but they can't spare to drive another hour and a half to come and see us. Yeah, what ever. It was a huge lesson we learned and we won't be so stupid again. No way.

I tell you what...family can do you dirtier than anyone sometimes. I know..lol. I went to Texas once and I think it was 13 or 18 hours...it was a tough trip and I didn't even have a ton to haul back then. It's funny because I go to Texas and there is an ice storm..LOL..I was stuck there for two weeks over that storm. It was in the mid or late 90's I think..you might even remember it..I am thinking they don't happen very much there..at least not until I visit.

I think that is great advice. I could hae really used a list that morning. I had over slept and was in such a hurry. Wow...that is quite a trip you were making...I bet that list was a lifesaver. I am thinking I will be making myself one the next time too...lol. Thanks for responding!

I am too...especially being hurried. I checked on them but they were pretty expensive. I am using the host's computer right now..lol..she offered and I jumped. Thanks for responding!

I was on a mission until I saw that they were $79..lol...The host has been kind enough to let me borrow hers for a bit..I don't want to be rude so I don't hog it up..lol...I am going home today so i will be back online before you know it. I've missed everyone very much and think I may have a ton of discussions to catch up on. Thanks for the response!

Darned bird! Maybe you will get him next time! As far as a back up charger, check out amazon.com. I have gotten them from there before (one for a friend and one for myself)and they were cheap if you can find the right one. I paid less than $20 including one day shipping! If you send it standard shipping it is probably only $10 or so. Have a great week!!!

Wow...that is a good deal! I will have to check that out for sure! I can use a backup even if I never forget that charger again, Yes..that bird is on my poo poo list now...I am determined to get a picture of him.

It went pretty good..thanks. I didn't get the charger because when I went to the store, they were $79. I was being tight because of vacation money...lol. I do need a backup eventually though. That darn Heron...I chased that thing all around the pond/lake! Never did get a good shot. Just as I was about to leave..he flew up in the top of this tree there and was sitting so pretty..would have been a great pic. I have tried to get him before too. I didn't think a bird that big could be so quick and sneaky. Thanks for responding and take care.

Yes...I did have a nice trip without it. I usually just take it because I wake up so much earlier than everyone else there. I hate the idea of waking them up. I didn't get another one..I just looked through some books that were in the room I was staying in..there was a bookshelf. It was still a good time. Thanks for responding!

I am an early riser too, so that is when I get on here mostly. Before everyone else wakes up and I have to start my work day. When I am away I normally have a break from screens and go for an early morning walk or something similar before everyone else gets up. Reading is always good too!

Yes it is a holiday thing. I just like having it because I wake up before everyone else...a longtime before everyone else. I hate to bother them so I use my laptop to keep me busy until they get up. Thanks for responding!

May be you could change your schedule and do something else for a change - you know what I mean

Yes...I am going to go hunt this big Blue Heron that I see everytime I am here...I have been trying to get a picture of him on my other trips...he is sneaky. I might get one this time.

I went to check on another charger yesterday and they are $79! I thought well..I guess I am offline for a while. It has been raining and I have been stuck in and guess what my b/f's mom pulled out of the closet....a brand new mac laptop! She is letting me use it to "check it out"..lol...I can be on a few minutes anyway. Yes..next time there will be a definite packing list going on. Thanks for the advice!

hi Jen thankGod for boyfriends mom and special hugs to you. Hope you like the stay inspite of limited time online.

Just forgot an idea, when you get home again it would be useful to make a packing list. I have one and its been changed so many times over the years I use it, but I wont pack up anything without it no matter whether its two days or weeks I would be absent from home. I dont take my laptop with me but I take the mobile phone with me and the charger is on the list too.

thats good

They are a little high. I am going to wait. My b/f's mom is letting me play with hers..thank goodness..lol Thanks for the response.

Jen, Glad that you got to use the other laptop. I would not have asked either. Maybe the next time you are here we can meet up somewhere. Maybe do lunch somewhere.

Well...I am here one more day..lol....The host has let me borrow her laptop for a while..she is so good to me..lol. It has been a bit rainy..that is why she thought of it...I wouldn't have dared ask. Thanks for responding!

wokay... Which phone are you using? Is the browser that bad? Glad your host is so kind to lend hers so you don't get disconnected from this world. Cheers!

The charger was pretty expensive so I didn't get it. I did bring my cellphone charger but to be honest..I hate my phone browser..I don't even try to connect half the time with it. It is frustrating..lol..I guess I am spoiled. Thanks for responding...oh..the host let me borrow hers for a bit.

well, good for you that you'll be back home. you probably are home already once you've read this. read through the discussion and saw that the mother of your boyfriend let you use a new laptop. that was a really nice gesture. glad that you're back in mylot again. cheers!!!

Heyya allen! Yes..MIA..that be me. I haven't been gone from the Lot this long since I've started here. I have missed it. It wouldn't be so bad but it has rained a ton here. I'm going back home today so I am going to wait on the charger...they are pretty high. Thanks for responding!

Thanks for the advice. I wish I hadn't overslept. I am usually very good at remembering to pack everything...oh well...not this time. Thanks for responding and see everyone soon...the host let me borrow hers for a bit.

Hi Chevee! Yes, it happens to everyone. I have experience it and luckily it was just for a day. It will be worst if we need it to finish the works. it is hard to find suitable charger to fit to the particular laptop. To find a back up charger for laptop is quite hard than find a charger for a cellphone.

Heyya CTHanum! The only reason I bring it is because I wake up so early..there is nothing pressing except that I miss my friends here too. I wake up three or four hours before everyone else so the laptop is nice to have...lol. Thanks for the response and I'm going home today....those chargers were $79 at the store....I'm gonna wait.

$79?? Forget about it. I will borrow from someone and I am glad to hear that someone lend you a charger. You are not just miss your friends but I am very sure you miss your charger too~(^^)
