computer issues

Our laptop is having some issues that I believe are "fatal".  So, I have been unable to connect on facebook or on the blogosphere.  All is well on our side of the world/street/city.  We are just marooned on the "without service" island.  The computer does work occasionally.  Never when we want it to.  So, my checks on the internet are sporadic and infrequent.  Just letting you know.
