Puzzle Description:

My computer died,it was only 4 yrs old. Now I'm making puzzles on my kids laptop. My puzzle making days may be over,unless Santa brings me a laptop of my own.

idk, Al...have you been naughty or nice this year? and which one helps Nicky get you that new laptop? oh, say "naughty"! it's much better for the imagination.... ;)
#2: Lollipop (lollipop) on Dec 2, 2012
I hope you were nice. We *need* you in here!
#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Dec 2, 2012
Aldege, we can't lose you. Hope Santa's good to you.
#4: marjorie rex (mamo) on Dec 2, 2012
It wouldn't be the same without you Aldege!

Prays for puter in santa's bag
#6: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 3, 2012
Well Kurt,I think you already know that I've been naughty,and yes especially in a way that would please Niki.lol.:)

Thx Lollipop,no I have not been nice,but even if I had been,I can't really afford a new computer at this time. I'll just use the boys until I can afford my own. I'm not sure how you guys need me though,there are lots of great creators here. Oh,I know,you'll miss my long winded comments,lol.:)

Thx Norma,don't worry you won't lose me.lol.:)

Thx Marjorie,no I suppose it wouldn't be.:)

Thx Tom buddy.:)

What a shame, I hope you find a way to get a replacement soon.
#8: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 3, 2012
Thx Joel.:)
#9: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 3, 2012
Nikki's giving you a puter. She won't let you down in your sunsetting years... ;) Brain stays sharp puzzling...
#10: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 4, 2012
Niki will probably get herself a new computor,and I'll get her old one. I always get the poop end of the stick,lol.:)
#11: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 4, 2012
there goes the toilet again lol

Well, it's nice that it doesn't take a fancy machine to play on webpbn. My husband has to get a new computer every couple of years to run the latest games. Nothing really terribly wrong with the old one, just not advanced enough for the graphics in the games he likes to play.
#13: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 4, 2012
Yup another dunking,Topm.:)
#14: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 4, 2012
That's true Joel,I don;t need anything elaborate.:)

What a coincidence...mine just had to be completely wiped and backed up. He works, but he has severe amnesia and I have to reinstall all of my games. Boo. Someone needs to make a computer that lasts more than 3 years!

I feel your pain, man.

Thx Logan
#19: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 5, 2012
Thx Nancy,I will continue even if Santa doesn't bring me a new computer. I'll just keep using the boys laptop at night when they're in bed.lol.:)
#20: valerie o..travis (bigblue) on Dec 5, 2012
aldege, here's hoping santa will be nice(to you)and not naughty :)
#21: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 5, 2012
Thx Travis.:)
#22: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 5, 2012
Aldege, my friend, if santa is naughty, let me know...i'll try to help
#23: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 5, 2012
Thx Tom buddy,I'm sure Santa will come thru.:)

Weeping ...
#25: Aldege Cholette (Aldege) on Dec 6, 2012
Weep not my dear friend,things have a way of working out,I'll still be around.:)

Alas, four years is a long time these days for a computer. The puzzler that I use is about seven or eight, so it should have died long ago...
#27: Karen Sakamoto (baddemo) on Dec 29, 2012 [SPOILER]
Whew - I was afraid you were saying goodbye to something more personal (like a pet). I hope Santa was good to you. You're in that group of folks whose puzzles I really enjoy.
(I don't know if the "pet" comment is a spoiler, so I'll just mark this as a spoiler)
