I can’t belive I did it…….
hing
I left my humidifier on last nigh to keep my nose moist, but unlike the past week that has been hot, last night was on the cold side. as a resault, everything on my table was wet..including the top of my lap top. so I cleaned off my laptop, and flipped it on…to see the light flicker and me saying,” oh no, ohno, oh no don’t die…”
and it died. The light for my lap top screen died.
dang it.
and my warrenty is up( I was pissed over that)
So, there is not a lot I can do about photos right noe. There is another computer, my dad’s. It is incredibly slow and I would have to find the cable and cd for my camera…I have no idea where that is.
So, needless to say, I am not happy and hoping that maybe, by chance, for any unexplainable reason, my lap top light comes back on.
Darn it.

I’d never heard of that. I had to look it up online. I found this explination at an “As Time Goes By” site.
Quote:To understand an airing cupboard, you must know that English houses do not have basements like American houses do. (That’s why, where the steps go up to the bedrooms, there is a “cupboard under the stairs.”) So – with no basement, – where do you put the furnace and the hot water heater?
You don’t *have* an American-style furnace – you have just a hot-water heater, which heats the water for the house, and also for the hot water radiators. (This is all assuming you’ve modernized and put in “central heating;” in olden days, the airing cupboard was empty except for the drying rack.)The airing cupboard is upstairs, and is what we would call a closet; the one in my son’s house is about 6×6 feet. It contains the hot water heater, which meams it is the warmest spot in the house, – thus, it is an “Airing Cupboard” – for the clothes which have not dried on the clothesline because it started to rain. The room is small, with just enough room for the water heater and a drying rack, (or a bit of canoodling by a pair of amorous young lovers!)
……courtesy of Meggie R. (who also adds these notes on the layout of the house):
The “cupboard under the stairs” is on the ground floor, in the front hallway. (We would call this the “first floor, but to the Brits it is the ground floor.) [This is where Jean and Lionel hide in a later episode.]
The “airing cupboard” is on the first floor – what we would call the “second floor.” We haven’t seen one of these yet, it was just referred to [as a place where something of an intimate nature might have happened] “38 years ago.”The floor above that they might call “second,” but usually it’s referred to as the “attic,” especially if it is the top floor. We would say “third.” [Sandy’s bedroom is in the attic.]
As for the place in the bedrooms where they keep clothing, etc., these are called cupboards as well — not closets. They are normally free-standing pieces of furniture — what we might call a “wardrobe.” In newer homes they are sometimes built-in like an American closet, (but often still jut out into the room. Still they are referred to as “cupboards.” [Lionel found a penny in a later episode in the cupboard in his bedroom.]
Whew, glad you got it to work. It kinda sounded like the time my cell phone dropped out of my pocket and into the toilet. I shook out the water and let it sit for a moment and then it worked.

😯 Eww, even with clean water. 😆
XD yeah.. I was worried…I realy don’t want to replace my screen or lap top yet.
I used filtered water for my humidifier.
the toilet??? XD
well you know all the photos I take? the camera I use once fell in the river and got completely soaked. it took two days to dry out…but worked just as good after.
